Do you like the Yamaha SG2000?
I like the looks, but I don't think I've ever held one. Don't see em often down here.
Hang in there bro. It's dicey!
Merry Christmas to you and the little missus. When yall coming back down here?
Very Dicey. Might be back down there when the Sister in law hatches this next child in a few months. Assuming i have the funds and resources to get us down there.
In other news i might be renting a drum kit to try and learn to play drums. I want an acoustic kit, but i might have to settle for an ekit. We shall see. More to follow.
My 2016 resolution is to be more active. I dont want ot run or be a gym bro so i figure i can kill two birds with one stone and get a good cardio trying to play fast drums. Maybe? hows that line of thinking work for you guys? HaHa
Lol. It might wear you out at first. So sure, go balls deep. As you build up stamina it becomes nothing. I can drum hours and hours of blazing punk rock fire and not even breathe hard. Not because I'm super good, but because I'm just used to it.
I had one dumbass on this forum a while back tell me that standing and playing his coma-tempo blues crap on guitar is harder physical work than drumming. Lol. Lol. Lol. His reasoning was that a guitar players stands, and a drummer sits, so guitar must be harder. He was also about 500 pounds and breaks a sweat just trying to breathe, so.......
I did!Haha, Gobshite.
Hope you fuckers had a good Christmas.
I did!
I had a gig on Christmas eve and a 7 hour gig yesterday!!
That is pretty cool Bob....back when I gigged, we always made quite a bit of $$$ for holiday parties, & were usually really busy with 'em....I did!

50 bucks an hour is what I charge .... 4 hour minimum .... and I'll usually pull around another $100 in tips.That is pretty cool Bob....back when I gigged, we always made quite a bit of $$$ for holiday parties, & were usually really busy with 'em....

That's cool man, we used to charge $50/night per band member, came out to $250/night total, but for the holiday stuff, we'd usually get a lot more. I remember the last New Year's party we played, we got $500/each. That was New Year's Eve 2000 (changing to '01), so it's been almost 15 years since I've played a gig...Damn, I didn't realize it'd been that long...50 bucks an hour is what I charge .... 4 hour minimum .... and I'll usually pull around another $100 in tips.
Not great money but a lot better than most local musicians get.
It was very Christmas-centric ..... I was Bing Crosby singing every Christmas song you ever heard ...... "Silver side walks .... busy sidewalks ... dressed in holiday style ..... buh buh buh boo boo " ..... and then soloing over it for 10 verses ....
nah .... not here .... though I may get a Guitar Fetish something or other .... they have some good deals right now.
Deb and I will give ourselves a new 55" tv .... our old projector looks like everything is on mars ( mostly red color)
