I'm with you on that. I like the longer Fender scale, but prefer a 14" radius. I prefer single master volume and tone so that if I switch pickups mid-song the volume stays constant (I guess I'm not going to take advantage of the pickup mixing option). And the LP is just too damn heavy. I switch between sax, flute, wind synth, and guitar all night, sometimes from song to song, and after a while, that much weight lifting is just tiring. So I got a Parker, custom shop, that has all that I want. DF522NN (NN for Notes Norton). It's my "signature model" :) Light weight (under 5 lb) -- 25.5" scale -- 14" Radius -- Single master vol and tone -- Sperzal locking tuners -- hardened stainless steel frets -- Duncan P-Rail pickups (P90, Rail, Parallel Humbucker & Series Humbucker sounds), a Piezo under the bridge that can be played alone or mixed with the mag pups with the third knob - contoured and balanced body, graph-tech nut, and it might last as long as I do ;)

"Paint It Black" - Eric Burdon & War (Side note: Back in the late 60s, we were playing in the Parkway Tropics lounge in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Eric Burdon and the drummer for the Animals show up and want to sit in. Of course we let them. After the Parkway closed we went to a black bar (yes it was segregated back then), sat in with the band and played until it closed. Eric could make up 12 bar blues songs on the spot. When that closed we asked what was open, it was a gay bar "bottle club" and we sat in with that band. I guess that gave them a tour of many sides of the USA).

Shouldn't they be called Morewomen instead of Moremon?

"The Yes Album" - Yes One of my all-time favorite rock albums, it looks like the "Deluxe Edition" has additional material (I think it has 3 extra tracks). So I'm checking it out.

We actually do Jolene at that speed. Leilani kills it on vocals, I play fuzzy compressed guitar with the treble turned down, and I made a backing track very similar to the slowed-down recording. It's a lot of fun and the audience loves it. I'm not a Dolly Parton music fan, but she is a talented songwriter and from what I've read about her, I think she is a nice person. It's just her voice that doesn't really agree with me.

You HAVE to watch this. Victor posted this on the web in 1991 and Pixar called him to offer him a job on the basis of this video.

Problem solved. My webhost changed the name of the outgoing mail server. They may have sent out a letter that I didn't understand or ignored, then again they might not have judging from the loooooooooong hold times. But all is well that ends well. So what should I listen to to celebrate the restoration of my e-mail client? ???

I remember learning this song when I was in a disco band. And I remember the double-knit polyester jump suits that were rather itchy and the platform shoes that were very difficult to keep balanced on. But I also remember all the single girls and the good times. It was worth the shoes and the double-knits. This was one of the more fun tunes of that genre Devil's Gun - C.J. and Co.

Undersea adventure???? Yellow Submarine - Beatles (IMO not their best work)

On hold to my web host's tech support, with really, really bad "on hold" music interrupted every 15 seconds by someone thanking me for my patience - even though my patience ran out about 15 minutes ago. Aaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh

More Eva Cassidy Autumn Leaves (nice guitar work and vocals) Ain't No Sunshine (a nice take on the Bill Withers song) She died of cancer when she was 33 years old, but left a lot for us to enjoy. Too bad she was taken so soon, as there wold have surely been a lot more great music for the world.
