Thats very cool...I call music my wife and surfing the mistress. It feels that way in every regard as well.
Its funny I have a promo quiver shot of all my Rusty boards that I'm supposed to be doing next weekend when I get one of them back from a friend. I'll have to post it.
(I have a go-pro on my short list so I can actually take some video of me surfing and it goes without saying that I have to put my own music on it  )

The first vid is with the standard def gopro, second is with the high def version. https://vimeo.com/10418605 https://vimeo.com/41263267 |

I have to admit that I feel a little kooky about wanting to shoot myself that way, but I'm looking forward to doing it as well.
Thanks for sharing...

I may have passed through Welch while traveling with my stepdad to Beckley or Charleston. I cannot recall though..a lot of those trips were made in the wee morning hours and I was conked out in the passenger seat (to which I was called the worst co-pilot ever). |

The singer/guitarist/songwriter for the Green Ridge Runners (Paul Haller) is from a mining family and was born in Morgantown. The very first original song that he shared with us was "Homesick miner". I live about 30 miles from the West Virginia border and spend my share of time there.
I really like West Virgina by the way, and yes, I definitely understand what you mean. I went to California for the first time at age 16 and stood on the beach. I felt like Neil Armstrong. lol I enjoyed California for sure, but it's a world away from the Appalachian mountain range. |

It is indeed beautiful country. |

I have mentioned on more than one occasion that my first bass was a (pretty awful) Telestar that I got for my birthday when I was just a lad. I traded mine for my first drumset about 40 years ago. Admittedly, since I started down the road to being a "serious" bassist I've thought about that bass a LOT. Telestar basses apparently were not sold in big numbers. Finding the exact model that I owned has been fruitless, until now. There is one on ebay right now. It is EXACTLY like mine was. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...E:B:SS:US:1123 
I expect the price will climb out of sight. I can't really afford a bass purchase right now. It would make no sense to buy this part of my past.
But...
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANT IT!!!
Sigh. |

The bridge on that bass is interesting. |
