baddessi: yeah but if you leave we're gonna miss you and I'm gonna (go crazy) ;)

TexasToest:

TexasToest: Pleases me! ;)

TexasToest: Music soothes the soul ;)

TexasToest: I'd love to hear you play. I love the piano. I'm just a hacker on that. As for guitar, I'm not a master of that either but I keep learning :)

TexasToest: When I try to play like that I seem to be all thumbs :)

TexasToest: My pleasure. He's sponsored by Taylor guitars and not to long ago he put on a show at our local music store featuring the Taylor guitar. I couldn't believe the talent. He makes it look easy too!

gogul: A flatpicker is someone who plays the guitar with a "flatpick" and picks single notes, usually very fast as in bluegrass. :)

TexasToest: Good stuff! I've saved them to my play list. Let me know what you think of Crary. It's sweet flatpickin old style! He's been around since he was a kid!

He's a fabulous flatpicker. One of the best in the world.

I've saw him play last year...amazing talent.

TexasToest: hey, check out Michael Hedges. If you can get any recordings of him. If you have Musicmatch, he's got 126 songs on there. He died in a car crash at 43 (sadly) but he's left some great guitar work behind. Amazing

He's the master of the tweleve string ;)

Eriisa: lol

Eriisa: There's gotta be a song with that in the title ;)

Eriisa: Ratts, I missed it!

Bwild: I just gave one away! Serious. My son owed me 500$ so a year or so ago he gave me his brand new Alverez 12 string. Then on his last visit he talked me out of it...free!!

It was a nice guitar too but I didn't play it as much. Plus I have an effects pedal and it's got 12 string guitar as one effect. ;)

Are you familiar with Leo Kottke?

TexasToest: I'm here! ;) I know a good home for those Gibsons if you need someone to take care of them.

baddessi: You're gonna be missed! That's a long time gone! :(

TexasToest: Do you still play alot? And what exactly do you play with the guitar? Classical or folk or all the above?

TexasToest: My voice is limited to all notes that are not in the key I'm trying to sing in!

Classically trained! I'm impressed. I should have stayed with piano. But the early lessons did put down a good foundation for later learning. I've played clarinet for years and still own the one I had in grade school. It has new pads and plays well. I still sound as bad as ever!@ ;)

TexasToest: True. Are you a piano player?

How do we use those other notes?

TexasToest: Yeah but in Eastern music it can sound so strange. Plus they don't use chords like we do. You can't get an Allen Jackson from a 24 note scale ;) But you can get an Abdulah Jahaladin

TexasToest: I was thinking of octave. :) In Eastern music there are 24 notes per octave :) They use quarter-tone notes where we use whole and half tone only. ;)

baddessi: Nope :) pretty cool bunch if Ya ask me :)

Bwild:

Bwild: h

my math is bad ;)

Bwild: Let me know what you think. My son tells me all about these players. It's amazing what we still can do with 8 little notes !

Bwild: I think you'd like Harper too if you like Johnson. I like Johnson more but Harper has a great sound too.

baddessi: County/Folk/Rock

Lots of blending of genres I think. ;)

baddessi: http://www.jackjohnsonmusic.com/

Bwild: Buffet: Folk Rock

Jack Johnson, has an interesting style. Better Together is a signature song and one of his best IMO. Are you a fan of Ben Harper too?

TexasToest: :Pink Floyd :)

It's a fake one. I don't really smoke. I still fart tho. ;)

TexasToest:

wooooo hoooooo

don't need to fight anymore cuz most people run at the sight of me ;)

baddessi: Be still my heart!!!!!!

baddessi: yep, I do.

But I really, really love Paula! And Cathrine too! heheh

baddessi: I love Paula!!! ;)

I think that Taylor will win but I want Cathryn to win. She's got the most talent IMO. ;)

baddessi: My wife loves that show ;)

Skyking: Me too! John Denver and John Fogerty for me. James Taylor too! I was in love with Olivia but she never knew. ;)

Tuesday: I think you got it right. The thing is, if you're a country music star, you gotta remember that your fans are very loyal both as Republicians and Democrats. But I saw the DChicks recently on O'Reiley and they offered no regrets. One thing is for sure, they are talented from head to toe!

Skyking: I know he had a problem with the bottle. I think he's cleaned up his act. I recently saw him on a TV special and he played a lead on his electric. Wow...that guy and play. It was fast and flawless.

baddessi: My man, Glen Cambell. A superb guitar player by the way.
