Hi guys, Oh my aching back, what I thought was a straight forward project of placing components on a board to make a steel has become a real eye opener. It seems the more I delve Into It the more there Is to learn. Questions keep popping up as to string spacing, the pro`s and cons of fret board len...

Hi Guys, This dosen`t address the "white Icon Problem" however,a short while back my system came down with a virus called "CHERNOBLE" One of the first indicators was my icons would run and hide from my mouse, or at other times they`d all gang up in one corner of the monitor. you...

Grew up in vacumn tube theory Donny, good article.

My first was John Hughey( I think the spellings right) with the Rhodes Show (Speck,Dusty)out of Memphis in the early 60`s

I`ll stick in my 2cents, I use a combination of both. A plastic thumb pick for a warmer sound and metal finger picks because their easier to adjust to my finger size. However,
I think I`ll give that "steam fitting" techinque on plastics a try.
Ya`ll take care....Frank.

Thanks a bunch Rick,Been looking for a stand for my double 6 and also to set my dobro on, as I don`t care for things hanging around my neck. Take care and Merry Christmas. Frank

Way to go Donny, short,concise and to the point.

Just Have one question there Chas. At what frequency range does she launch.
An "Object De Art" no doupt.
Ya`ll take care....Frank.

I`d be very happy if my old arthritic
fingers could still make squeeks, of course when your relegated to making 2 fingered G`s and C`s,there`s not a whole lotta squeekin goin on.
Take care....Frank.

Hi Paul,you went in ahead of me, I "joined up" In 53 and went through basic at Sampson AFB In up state New York, on Lake Geneva I believe, Lord ,what beautiful country that is. Spent about 23 weeks at Chanute air plane Camp, as we called It, then wound up at Andrews In DC flying "Comb...

Hey Paul,I knew there was something about you I liked.Was Chanute AFB still active when you were In, and being from Pa, did you go through Sampson for basic? Take care....Frank <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Frank on 04 December 2001 at 03:18 PM.]<...

Take care....Frank

Plumb forgot about WJJD, but seem to recall
"THE OLD DOMINION BARN DANCE" but can`t seem to recall the station call sign.

Hey Jack, do you remember station WCKY In Cincinnati,and that all night station broadcasting out of Del Reo Tx, with the transmitter in Mex."KXRL"..? Back to the question,I guess growing up in Baltimore In the 40`s and 50`s ,and waking up to country music every morning, with a father from ...

Thanks a lot guys for the explanation on 4 part harmony, think I`ll stick to picken.

Well ,As a group , we didn`t range too far from home,but when the "wives" started showing up things went to hell in a hand basket. During the breaks , we would mingle with the patrons, seems everybody wanted to know the band and we didn`t have a P.R. dept , so we mingled. That is till the ...

Well,I might as well get my feet wet too,
I can understand the 2 part and the 3 part,but what about 4 part harmony..?

Take for example the "Statlers or the Oaks"
what type harmony do the sing...?
Thanks, Frank
