Thomas D-10 with 8&7

I have found that if I just eat some Tater Chips before playing that it will keep them slippery. AND !! if washed down with a couple of beers it also makes the cabinet drop completely go away 8) :lol: HEY KEN, the cabinet drop may go away ,but doesn`t the bar drop come into play more often? :roll: ...

Headphones for practise should be fine as long as you do two things: Back off the highs a bit. Watch the volume-if you find yourself wanting to turn up after a few tunes, take a 30 minute break and start over at a lower volume. http://brneurosci.org/noise.html Thanks Steve for the comment on turnin...

Thanks for the feedback everybody.From the replies I guess that it doesn`t really matter as long as I get to practice. Thanks Don

Does anybody use headphones to practice with,if so what brand/model ,with what set up ,amp ,mixer,etc.I am trying to figure a way to practice without disturbing my kids,wife etc. At least until I get this thing making sounds that are pleasing to others besides me anyway.

Sorry Lee,I was using a I-net card in my laptop,links don`t always upload.

Fine looking rig -- but when I click on the picture, why do I keep hearing a phone conversation?

Hi Roy ,didn`t I mention that with all those strings it makes a great cell phone antenna,also helps with hands free calls -foot dial /knee hang up

Hi Greg ,wife says I may have trouble because the only experience I have is playing with her G string lol (I didn`t think that was funny)

Hey Joe .I`ve been addicted since I was little ,listening to my dads records of Ernest Tubb,Hank sr.,Ray Price etc.Love the range and crying ability of a steel,nothing better.
Thanks for the compliment ,she`s a pretty machine for sure. Don (GONWHLN@AOL.COM) (530)870-7607
