Don Holiman was first admitted to hospital with a cardiac issue that was controlled with meds. According to his family, he subsequently fell while at hospital, hitting his head causing brain trauma. He lapsed into a coma. Tests earlier today revealed no brain waves. He has been a dear friend since 1...

RIP Al. Awesome person and awesome picker. You will be missed.

Very sad news. RIP Buddy Emmons, a legend and true genius.

I am so sorry to hear about Monte's illness. Seems like the bad news never quits. I have a friend whose mom has Alzheimer's and she takes a drug called Aracept (sp).and it has slowed the progress of the disease tremendously. I think he needs to be doing some aggressive drug therapy before his wife t...

Sadly I will be unable to attend Eddy's memorial service. Yesterday a hose to the washing machine broke and caused a massive flood in several rooms. There is a cleaning and restoration crew coming back again tomorrow. In the meantime I have about 10 huge fans generating heat in here at night. Althou...

RIP my good friend. May God richly welcome you into eternity. I was truly blessed to have known you and I will always remember your smile and unique sense of humor. I will miss you.
Forever your friend, Carol

Johan...
In answer to your post...No, not a criminal...and no crime committed. However, if the ebay seller paid money for it, then he becomes a loser. The (proven) stolen item, once confiscated by police, is always returned to the rightful owner.
All you guys are stayin' well on top of this one...

Waaaay too many variables involved here... Thus cannot really cast a legit vote on this subject...

Always loved his string 'pull-off' style playing...

Hey B0b... How 'bout a poll for amps? I know...a bunch of you probably have the Nashville 1000...just a classic Fender Twin Reverb here...

Jeremy, that is waaay 2 kool...

I got his email a few days ago...right on schedule like always. He discussed how some people pursue a 'bargain' until it is actually (not really) a bargain...like traveling miles across town to save a few cents on gasoline. If you are not receiving his emails try signing up again. Sometimes computer...

Stu, as a lawyer this guy should know better. My guess is maybe he hasn't really thought about what he is doing, or it never occurred to him he was doing anything wrong. I think you should approach him and explain how you feel and why. Hopefully he will just stop... If he has been sitting in with th...

Stu, that amounts to stealing someone else's ideas and profiting from them, and that is bad. Maybe this guy doesn't know your band laid down the tracks...I would confront him with this and get his reaction. If he is selling them, then you and your band are entitled to be financially compensated. A l...

Keep it pure but with taste and style. Simple improvisation is always necessary for a unique sound. Tone is really important too. The tone should always be clean and crisp and defining...

Frode, there are quite a few of these "creatures" currently listed on ebay. Also you might check-out www.samash.com and www.musiciansfriend.com. They usually have some fairly decent bargains

Fire on the Mountain - by Marshall Tucker, Psycho Killer - by Talking Heads, and He Stopped Loving Her today - by George Jones are all kinda creepy.

Darryl, you can contact paypal and tell them the circumstances. They will then contact the seller and advise him to respond within 10 days. If seller does not respond within that time then paypal will debit his account and refund you for the amount you paid. You can also contact ebay and request the...

I didn't vote for the greatest country-rock group because in my opinion there were several "greats" during that era. Gram Parsons certainly had it goin' with the album "Return Of The Grievous Angel" (with Emmylou Harris harmonizing). I think Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band ...

James... I am so-ooo sorry to hear about your loss. Watch the pawn shops and ebay. I have thought for a long time that ebay might be a perfect 'fence' for stolen stuff. What were the circumstances of the burglary? Think about the possibilities of who, what, where, when, how it might've happened, etc...

Check all the pawn shops too...

Jim, keep an eye on ebay. They may try to sell your stuff on ebay. Right now there are 3 or 4 Buds listed...

Like Jim said this is subjective. I think the melody when supported by good tasteful passing chords is the most important. Most of the time the 'music' is what grabs you...then you pay attention to the lyrics.

Very good cd...they don't get any better than this...shows good versatility.

Very good CD...they don't get any better than this.
