Um...Uknowwhat in seattle,
Cajun music in Seattle? Love the stuff, I work a lot in east Texas, in fact live there and my wife is from Louisiana so quite familiar with it.


Lduyer, I too love guitar, in fact I played in my younger years. My sister was road manager for Canned Heat, Jimmy Hendricks, and Stevie Ray Vaughn and currently Dash Morgan, so I am familiar with good blues and rock and roll as well.

Good for you SWS, if not an avatar, then a picture!

Come on everybody, it's neat putting pictures with percieved notions. Most have been just like I pictured, but number one so far is Liam, I nailed him!

Once again, Cool..!!
Gosh, I hate to date myself, but I remember seeing Canned Heat at a concert at my college, and even then I was surprised and thought they were history. Gosh, what does your sister do now? Bet she has some terrific stories to tell. Goodness, Jimmy Hendricks and Stevie Ray Vaughn! Amazing. I'm guitar-challenged. My dad gave private guitar lessons (his profession was teaching band in high school and elementary schools), and he taught my mother enough for her to give private beginner guitar lessons. I never took it up because I knew my dad would have to teach me, and I couldn't handle that, I would have been in tears. For a short time I worked in a music store, in the sheet music, music book, and accessories department. Loved that.

Got me reminiscing, fella!

Did I mention that I really like my globe avatar?

a.k.a. "Steve"

Wow, Steve!
Is THIS who I've been writing to all this time?!?
Terrific. Terrific smile too, but I have to say that smile reminds me of someone rather dear to my heart, someone long gone, I hate to say. But that smile made me think of him right off! Just the smile, though. The whole picture, well, that's YOU...!
....Be still my heart, SWS's got me all aflutter!!!

Linda, who hasn't the guts.

Smile? Oh! that's really a grimmace because I hate posing for pictures!

Linda, my friend... you get the underconfidence award. You are such an intelligent lady to correspond with.

SWS --

That's NOT a grimace!!
And thanks for the fine compliment.
I'm humbled by such a compliment, especially coming from one of the more technically minded, intelligent folks on this forum. Technical and ethereal. Uh-oh, not sure if I used that second word correctly......here I go to that dictionary again. See what you do to me?

As to underconfidence, that's true. But you, my friend, have succeeded where few have....boosting my confidence up a notch. Thanks ever so much.

Linda

Don't tell my wife. She gets upset if she hears that anyone but her has been nailing me.

Liam, shuddering.

1. Characterized by lightness and insubstantiality; intangible. 2. Highly refined; delicate. See synonyms at airy. 3a. Of the celestial spheres; heavenly. b. Not of this world; spiritual. 4. Chemistry Of or relating to ether.


....Well. I don't know about the ether, delicate or airy. But some of the others seem to relate, kinda. Don't you think? Mr. not of this world! Highly refined? Intangible?

Yep, Cajun music in Seattle. There are 4 or 5 "working" bands here. We've been together for about a dozen years. Another has been together since the Carter adminstration.

Favorite tunes? I have a general rule that I don't like any music younger than me. Most of my faves are obscure ditties that were recorded in places like W. Virginia, Georgia, and Kentucky in the early-mid 1900's. So when I mention tunes like "Monkey in a Dogcart", "Brushy Fork of John's Creek", or "That's My Rabbit and My Dog Caught It", I doubt if you've heard them! My original Avatar was Fiddlin' John Carson, sometimes credited with the first "commercial" country recording back in the '20s.

Now, perhaps we're getting TOO PERSONAL!!

(P.S. I whang away on a Telecaster sometimes. Don't tell nobody)

Jim,

No I hadn't heard of them. But I just looked and saw this link (so recently that I haven't even read all of it yet). See what you've taught me??

Jim,

I come from a family of musicians, however, I have no ability at all.

Three of my 5 brothers were guitarists. When my brother Tom died he was known as one of the best guitarists in the Bay area, tons of people showed up at his funeral to pay him tribute.

I have always wanted to learn to play the banjo. Last year a lady I worked with actually gave me one, but I don't even know where to begin.

I love Blue Grass music. My mother was born in Johnson City, Tenn. She then lived in an orphanage somewhere in Kentucky for about 8 years during the depression.

I grew up listing to good old country, gospel and the Chuck Wagon Gang. My brothers were huge fans of the Rolling Stones, so they played that over and over till I memorized them all.

The music they call music these days, just isn't the same.

Sleep how true, music hit it's peak twenty years ago.

Johnson City, I love that town, one of my first loves lived there.

I've always thought I was born way too late. Everything I love is from long ago.

I haven't been to Johnson City since I was about 10, I think. Now I'm 37, I bet it has changed!!!

Well, here is my picture.
Thanks to Janelle........thank you Janelle for helping me.

I am 65 and live in Georgia and am still working at a law firm. Been on Autopap since July of 2004 and thanks to the treatment, my BP has come down.

Now I am getting knee replacement surgery on Monday, April 11th (keep me, your fellow cpaper in your prayers) and hopefully that when I am able to walk again, I will shed all this weight I have accumulated through NO FAULT of my own. Might as well blame it on SA, hey why not?

Three cheers for CPAP or whatever PAP each of us are on. This has not only been a helpful and encouraging forum, it has been a fun one too.

Thanks all of you,

Judy

Don't tell me, you married an octagenarian...

Liam, being a wiseass, of course.
