My wife gave me the new Rush documentary, plus tickets to see Johnny A on January 29 in Northampton, MA. Been waiting to see him for awhile - - can't wait!

I was lucky enough to attend GIT (now Musician's Institute) in 1981-82 along with Scott Henderson. He was very good back then and was totally focused on his music. While At GIT, I was able to see Steve Morse in a very intimate setting (ie: just Steve and the bass player from the Dixie Dregs in...

FYI...Johnny A is playing at the Iron Horse in Northampton on 1/29/2011 Hope to see you there!

Rock & Roll Animal is one of the best! I still have my "Swept Away" album - - - Steve Hunter was/is one of my favorites.

George and Billy were in a commercial for Miller Light beer (George: "Tastes great!" Billy: "Less filling", etc., back and forth until George said, "Billy, you're fired", and Billy responded "Not again, George"). Say what you may about George, but he produced winners year after year. He will...

Welcome, Andy! I backpacked through Wales about 10 years ago after grad school and managed to visit 10 castles in 10 days. Or was that 10 pubs in 10 days? It's all a bit fuzzy.... In either case, I had a great time in Harlech, Snowdonia, St. David's, and Cardiff. Michael

:what Recalled! No wonder I got such a good deal. :)

Just ordered a Egnater Tweaker from GC online and was able to use a $50 Father's Day coupon + a 20% coupon to bring the total cost down to around $415. Free shipping as well. The 20% coupon is good through today, in case anyone else is interested. There are a few "exclusions", but Egnater...

Drove 6+ hours from central MA to Bar Harbor, ME. with the family. Beautiful views, good food, and great beer. Thought about driving up to Houlton to visit MaineStratMan, looked at the map, remembered how BIG Maine is, and decided to order another beer instead. Maybe another time...

I thought the final episode was as good as they could do, given the number of story lines that the writers had to bring to closure. Never quite understood why the Others took the children, but maybe I missed some episodes that explained that. One positive note: now that Lost is over, I'll have...

Here's two more.... Van Halen for Black Sabbath in late 70's. This was just after their first album came out and all I knew about them was their version of "You Really Got Me". Ozzy and company was good, but VH just blew them away. I went to a Blues show featuring John Lee Hooker back in the...

Hey All - Just wanted to give an update on the issue I was having with Musician's Friend. I received an email from a customer support specialist last night after he saw my posting on this forum, and to make a long story short, he apologized on behalf of MF and provided me with a credit to...

I attended GIT back in 1981-82 and made a lot of friends from around the world. Facebook has enabled me to find some classmates that I thought I had lost contact with forever.

Nope, I can't access them either.

In this case, I was more than respectively and courteous. I never demanded anything, and offered them a couple of ways to correct the situation. I've learned that when you back people into a corner, then their gut reaction is to say "no", but if you say "I know it wasn't your fault, but is there...
