REM never did like them much. At all. Then again, I didn't like Ozzy when he first came out as a Solo Artist. Didn't like the Police either. Never bought any of their albums. Have much respect for Andy and Stewart. And yes Gordon is a hell of a musician. I just get fed up with him after... it don't take much. Didn't like AC/DC when they came out either. Wasn't until Back IN Black that I started liking them. Then I went through the back catalog and thought... WTF didn't I like this?!! Everyone of those bands I have come around to like in some form or another. Except REM.

I never payed it much attention... till you said something!! And I agree. But just by a tad. Great song overall. Well produced and played. Singing was very good and up front. Except for the snare that I can't un-hear now!!! : )

I like that sound

Thanks for the test results gswitz. I am trying to get with a few forum members to try these things out to see what can and cannot be done.

I can't get the updated Native Access to work. Just keeps spinning after start. Then I can click one "Update" (but not Update All), it d/l and the goes to the next install but just sits there spinning. And the one that did install now shows as "Repair" I tried to Uninstaller that NA update and install a previous version but it gets halfway through the install and tells me "a newer version is already installed so setup will quit now" Do these people know what they are doing? Have they lost all the good devs that knew how to make things work?

Agreed!!

Creative there! I don't know why I thought you would have spelled something else. Past Experience Negates Insidious Speculation

I don't want to sound like I was dissing Collier's performance, I still found it very moving. I just pointed out that I was under the impression it was spontaneous. I am also sure that there were a few audience members that weren't expecting it. Still, it was a very moving performance. That was something else I did not know!! Very interesting. Wonder how that happens? Chance? Statistically inevitable? Or is it a melding of the spirituality of all involved?

Bit said this about that: But at least we cut down on the spam!! Gotta think positively people!!

Haven't decided what I am going to do yet. Mettelus, this rabbit hole just keeps getting deeper and deeper!! LOL!!

Exactly.

I just saw this. Man what a loss. RIP ol boy.

Yes, I have a guitar with a Performance neck with a hockey stick headstock. And yes I should have went that way staying close to home. But this is a Roasted Maple neck with Roasted Maple fretboard. And to be honest the damn thing feels great!! Fret ends are polished perfectly rounded, best I have ever seen. Really. So this is quality work here. But them frets... Not sure if superglue would hold them down. If I have to Inwill give that a try as a first solution.

This is in reference to the StewMac guitar I built. The build came with a 16" radius neck. This is the first 16" I ever played (that I knownof). After much debate I decided to replace the neck. I ordered a neck from Guitar Anatomy in The UK off of Etsy. Neck has a serious flaw. The middle.of all frets (except 3) aren't seated in the middle. They are properly seated at the ends, but the middle sticks up about 120 - 150 mm. The seller accepts returns. And is willing to offer to pay up to $30 for the return shipping. And he will pay to ship me a new neck. So I decided on a return /swap solution. I went to+ ship the package back to him and UPS wants to charge me over $350!! Said I had tompay duties and fees. Anyone know how I can ship it cheaply back to the UK? Oh, BTW, I can push those frets down till the seat properly. But they won't stay down. To me that means the slot that was cut for the frets are too.wide in the middle. So the barbs have nothing to grab onto. Anyone else have another explanation... I'm all ears!!

Guess...

You serious!!!?

I thought you were joking!! Apparently not. After watching it I was so moved that all I could think of: spirituality. First thing is I couldn't believe the rich voice coming out of this skinny guy. Then I thought the orchestra in the back was just waiting for them three to do their little thing and get off the stage. But my impression, as this was the first time ever seeing this "audience choir" thing, was that the crowd responded to his gestures with out a word being spoken. Which was amazing to me and testament of the common spiritual nature of all of us. The I saw Sal's post about the choir and really thought that he was making a joke (a good one at that!) about the video. I clicked the link fully expecting to see some BS choir from NI!! Then when I saw the actual "Audience Choir" lib I was left... less than "spiritual". Yep, that crowd was expecting what happened. It wasn't a spontaneous event, which is what I thought was happening. Anyway, I watched this drinking my first cup of coffee and enjoyed it regardless. [edit] Thanks for the link Sal

Everyone wants to know!! Why? IDK!!

How did I know you were going to say that??

Yeah, we do things like that to satisfy that "underlying need". But it don't help!! LOL! Give yourself some time and space. Like Old Joad said, we'll be here when ya get back.

I can't believe I forgot about Stanley Jordan. After seeing this, I sat with my wife and we watched about an hours worth of his videos. Phenomenal musician. His creativity is exceptional.

Well said!!

Yep, that's what ya need to do. Just chill for a little while. Some advice, don't sell anything at least for a year. Maybe two. If you just chill, let it come back naturally, you'll remember why you started all this BS. Rush said it best: Put Aside the alienation, get on with the fascination. The real relation, the underlying need. It's what you are. You are the one to please.

Except whole bean. Grind myself with burr grinder. Again, whole bean. I drink both espresso style with steamed heavy whipping cream and a shot of chocolate. Mmmm

Yep, them was the good ol days!! Like Craig says, after Crypto currency took off, mining it went through the roof. Every available video card was snatched up (or stollen by the boatloads!!) by the crypto-miners. Prices have never really returned to what they were. [TOTP!!]
