On a slightly different note - no matter how much we disparage Guitar Center here, I do shop there regularly (and online) because of the discounts, the closeness (less than 15 minutes from me), but if I can get the same thing at the same price and in the same timeframe, I will buy from Manchester Music Mill or Sweetwater. But this morning, I find an email Xmas gift from GC - a $25 gift card! I used it immediately, and ordered a new SM58 for $64 delivered! Can never have too many mics!

Like a big chunk of the US, we've been below freezing since the arctic front hit on Thursday.. We're supposed to finally get above freezing some time Tuesday afternoon, although there's a 50% chance of snow tomorrow. This was a genuine White Christmas.

Last night, the family had a get together at my nephew's house. What is normally about a 15-20 minute drive became an hour and 20 minutes. About a half mile from their house, there was a hilly section of road and apprently someone either went off the road, or collided. My son and I drove about 4 miles around the tie up on a snowy 2 lane road doing about 20mph. We eventually got there. My daughter and her husband didn't make it. They tried to go up a hill and the car lost traction 3 times before they went back down, turned around and gave up. Things are much better today. The sun is up and the salt is actually working.

I can't imagine living someplace like Buffalo NY.

Here ya go Get around, get around, I get around. Get around-round-round, I get around

I like giving as much business as I can to my GC. To date, there hasn't been much I need or want which they've discounted. If I can get by without my Yamaha bass, I'm putting it on a tentative list of items I'm considering for trading sometime next year. I'd like to get an SM57, a second guitar stand, an Ampeg RB-110 Combo and maybe even a Boss CS-3 pedal, in case I get the opportunity to jam out sometime - never know.

When I read you received a $25 GC E-Gift Card, I checked my mail. Nothing from GC, but Fender sent me a SALE notification which includes a 10% discount on all first orders (I'd be a first timer). And the burner was a push to buy their 75th Anniversary Commemorative PRECISION Bass!!! I think they're rubbing it in considering I wanted the JAZZ Bass that's out of production. I would have snatched up the Jazz in a heartbeat AND used their 10% first time discount offer on top of that.
