WOO HOO! Congratulations, Jim!

Yes, sorry everyone! Mr. Anderson did immediately reply and I'm getting the help I need! Thank you for responding!

Yes, I know. I have been to Steel Guitar Purgatory and now I'm back!!

Actually, I keep breaking the string I'm trying to tune by experimenting with it so I was hoping to cut my losses by finding someone to help me!!!

Hey everybody! After quite a long hiatus and absolutely no practice on my steel I have totally forgotten how to tune my guitar. This particular axe has a pull-release system and uses a little screw next to the knee lever to tune the high open E string. But I can't remember what order to tune it in! ...

Hey, everyone! I know I haven't been here in a long time (really, really busy) but our drummer has turned in his notice. It seems that he has accepted an offer for employment that he just can't refuse and we wish him all the luck in the world. However, that leaves us needing a drummer that can eithe...

Thanks - I already had the JPG hosted but couldn't remember the code to post it directly. Here - I'll try a test: I deleted the picture. If you want to test, go to the testing section. I also see you posted it elsewhere anyway. Jack<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message...

Can someone tell me how to post a picture here on the forum? I have a JPG of an article regarding the Gene Davis benefit that I would like to post........

Thanks!

Yeah, boy, it sure does get hot here. This is about the only place I've ever been where you have to run your heater at night and the air conditioning during the day! We had a stretch this summer of 100 degree (+ or - 5 degrees) weather for about 2 weeks. When it finally cooled down to 90, I thought ...

Thanks everyone!

I like the way you think, Pat.

Okay then. Next question: if the owner suggests that the instrument has not seen any extreme duress regarding temperature and/or humidity changes, what would you assume next?

Do any of you repair violins or know about repairing them? I was wondering: If a three-year old violin was brought to you to repair a separation of the top from the sides, would you consider this a normal occurrence? Or would you assume that the violin had been exposed to some sort of heat/humidity ...

My apologies, David. I certainly didn't mean to imply that the obviously talented ladies of SheDaisy were "un-classy." I guess my opinion of the choreography on "I Will Be Your Everything" was that it didn't look like it had any great thought behind it and did not *add* to the so...

Wow! What a stir this has caused! Here's my $.02: When producers put on shows such as this, they are looking to grab and hold as big an audience as they can. This means that they try to cater to the inexperienced and ignorant (meaning "unknowledgeable") masses as well as the more sophistic...

This is a group which is popular among teen and pre-teen groups because they are "cute." They haven't quite made superstar status due to the fact that the talent level isn't up to par and groups such as 'N Sync and the Back Street Boys have overshadowed them. ------------------ I don't dri...

Here ya go, Bill.

DISCLAIMER: Although I do like some of his music, I am not a George Strait fan. Let me play devil's advocate here.... I didn't hear George say that he didn't like or agree with the song. I only heard him say that it was originally cut for the album as a joke. I did not take this to mean that he thou...

Bob - every scale has its own pattern of half steps and whole steps that make it unique. A major (or Ionian) scale is patterned as "whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half". A lydian scale is patterned as "whole, whole, whole, half, whole, whole, half". (There are also Dori...

Right on, BJ!

I guess I should clarify another point, too. The owner of the show herself is a GREAT lady that I have oodles of respect for. She's relatively new to the show business arena and is trying very hard to make the best decisions that she can. David Pennybaker - I think I like you more with every post I ...

Now Marty - behave yourself!!!

Great idea, Bob!
