Love Is The Drug - Roxy Music

All this reminds me. I miss the days when we had full-service mom & pop music stores in any mid-sized town and up. I remember going to Ace Music in Miami and trying out 3 Selmer Mark VI saxophones in a 'practice room' with a strobe tuner and picking the one that had the best intonation. I remember local music stores with Gibson, Epiphone, Fender, Gretsch, and other major brands hanging on the wall. Unfortunately, those days are gone. The last two saxophones and the last two guitars I bought, I didn't get to try out first. Plus, I had to wait for delivery. Some things are definitely better than they used to be, others are not. Insights, incites and a minor rant by Notes PS I hope your bass arrives in perfect shape and in the end you decide it was worth the wait.

Afternoon Delight

My One And Only Love - John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman (A classic for sax players.)

I remember Tiger Direct. I've done business with them before, when I was using desktop computers. Nowadays, I use nothing but ThinkPads and I get the software of my choice (without bloatware) from the factory. Tiger Direct always treated me decently. I hope your luck continues and you end up with two basses :) Notes

Lucky Seven - Chris Squire

If she screams in a vacuum, does she make a sound? And is vacuum the only word that has a double u in it that isn't a W?

I've had problems with MF myself. Fortunately, mine ended up good. I hope yours ends up well, too. When the Parker Dragon Fly (now MaxxFly) first came out, I ordered one from MF. When it arrived, it was a MIDI MOJO fly, worth almost 3 times what I paid for. I called MF, informed them of the error, and they said they were out of stock for DFs and had no date for a resupply. They said I could keep the MIDI MOJO. I checked with the FTC, waited the required time to be sure if they changed their mind, they would have no case to get it back. I sold the MIDI MOJO in Ebay, took the money I got from the MOJO, both the Dragon Fly from another dealer, and with the money I made selling the MOJO I paid for the DF and still had $800.00 left over. So I got a free guitar and $800. Best deal I ever got. Notes

Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull

I Can Beat Your Drum - Fever Tree

They drank lots of coffee, thus the grounds.

Thanks Bapu, I did get the announcement in my in box. I'm assuming CbB is Cakewalk (???) I got the message, clicked on BandLab and was a bit confused as to what it could offer me. Since I'm neck deep in writing/marketing aftermarket products for Band-in-a-Box plus learning new songs, making backing tracks from scratch, rehearsing, being band salesman, and gigging for my duo, (not to mention wasting time typing on a few forums), I don't need to add on-line collaboration to the mix. Not that that is a bad thing, there simply is only so much time in the day. Good luck to the nice folks at BandLab, I hope it's a success for them. Notes

Cowboy Star - Ambrosia

It wasn't me!!! My guitar got drunk!

Thanks! Nice looking axe.

Tales Of Brave Ulysses - Cream lyrics With tales of brave Ulysses How his naked ears were tortured By the sirens sweetly singing And that's all about temptation
