Dang double posts!

I ordered one on Sunday... Don't go to the link above, as it is a customized product and likely not something that persists. Just go to http://www.torsopants.com/bandgeekhero I love the TorsoPants stuff... I did click that link, from the other thread, and if I click on any of the shirts, it gives t...

I love the TorsoPants stuff...

It must be a grand thing to be fit... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/nottinghamshire/7615694.stm Be careful out there.. Slan, D. It happens, sadly... I was running the La Jolla Half Marathon and the race was on the toughest climb, up Torrey Pines (the park road, not the car one, which is much l...

Ah, my favorite season... Having grown up in Central NY, anything to kiss the humidity goodbye was welcome.

So can sprints be a good part of long distance running or is it counter productive? Speed is an integral part of a distance program. You don't have to do hard, short efforts to finish a marathon, but if you want to get faster and be a stronger runner, all training programs should incorporate some s...

Don't dwell on your most recent race... It's a building block towards MCM. I've run MCM twice, and both times had miserable races... the first time was my first marathon and I was WOEFULLY undertrained. It was VERY hot and humid, and aid stations were running out of water towards the end. The next y...

What direct insult? :-? Obviously I'm not doing enough fishing. My theory is that the cats are away for the weekend and the mice are not trusted to play. Maybe they are changing the main bearings... I was just responding to my "tinfoil-hat" response of how many states use Diebold voting m...

It ain't cheap (compared to the Clarkes and PVC specials I have), but I LOVE my Burke DBSBT. It's really hard to not have good intonation with this thing (I've been playing for about 4 months, so blowing correct intonation is an issue) and it just sounds great. The second octave is clean and pure. C...

Didn't Pete Yarrow have his guitar returned after something like 20 years? There is some hope.

It is low to steal someone's instruments. I suppose I can see this happening to a bar band, where a Fender amp might fetch $200 or more from a pawn shop, but who is going to try to pawn a low whistle?

Odd... When I replace the http:// with www, it works now. Funny, as I've had the bookmark for a few weeks and it worked fine, and the link from Google didn't work for me.

Crisis narrowly averted!

Does anyone know what happened to the page with all the tune links? I found this a few weeks ago and have found it to be one of the most helpful resources out there to learn new tunes. Over the weekend, it appears to have vanished... http://toraigh.com/slowsessions/ Google still shows this as the li...

Has anyone heard whether any provision has been made for pets this time? One of the main reasons people will refuse to leave their homes in a disaster is that authorities will force them to leave family pets behind to "take their chances." This wasn't helped by scenes at the Superdome aft...

1. If I really lean into it. 2. Generally good. It's OTHER people's music (and my attempts to play it) that I feel bad about 3. Wife, pretty good. The dog is OK, but when I pick up the Burke, any cats in sight suddenly remember something pressing to check on in another room 4. I played at my monthly...

PS- This thread is a good example of how you can get conflicting advice on the internet. sbfluter's mandolin used to be mine, which she got in a trade. When I was starting out on it, I got a lot of recommendations to learn with 4 strings (I believe it was banjo hangout that I got the advice from). ...
