Naked chicks are always cool with me.

Don't forget the gum...sometimes there are really cool nonsensical items for purchase in the latest edition of Skymall...
Happy Traveling

i know all of four chords. i've even forgotten the names of them. if you can get what is called "tablature" it will show you where to put your fingers on the strings to make the appropriate notes. you can see examples in some of the guitar mags.

Hmm...my recommendation, which you're not gonna like, is take a few lessons Really, having someone show you a few things is a huge time-saver in terms of picking up some basics (especially if you are interested in learning to play classical). A reasonably decent teacher can also tell you pretty quickly if you have any setup issues that need to be addressed (learning to play on an improperly set up guitar can be immensely frustrating and discouraging). Take a few lessons, learn how to hold the instrument and where to put your hands and fingers, how to hold a pick or use your fingers, and then decide if you want to strike out on your own or stay with (or find another) instructor. I took a lot of lessons as a kid. Did I need 'em all? Maybe not all of 'em, but the jump start of having someone around that knew what they were doing got me a lot farther faster. Best of luck, and if I can be of any help on your quest, feel free to drop a line.

Oh, that sucks.
I have to work so I can't go either. Too short notice to ask off.
I hate life.

i'm still trying to wrap my brain around the whole concept of dry county! seems so....well...silly maybe you need to make a trip to LR. Don't we have an SGArkansas event coming up?

"Man, that's an effeminate looking kiss" from you, the kiss comes across very manly!

my dog, Rufus (boy) is a 100+ pound anatolian shephard, there is a pic of him in one of my pic folders. he was jumping out of the window because a dog was walking by the house. i have learned my lesson, i can no longer fully open any of the windows at the front of the house. he is lucky i love him so much...

my finger, ring finger right hand, hurt like an SOB!!! i'm finally able to use it without blood everywhere.

thank you for the book suggestion.

are you going to tsunami bomb next week? i haven't lined up a babysitter so i don't know if i can make it.

Yeah, I loved Bruce Almighty, it's one of those movies that if I run across it, I'll start watching it no matter what part of the movie it's at. Thanks for stopping by my journal...
