Sweet tune! Hopefully you guys will cover that tune. Also like how the bass sounds. That would be the perfect song for your new Lakie C3.

My Mulebagger nickname came through a long story in college. I use it for my handle so I'm not Derrick125478 or some other number. Met a number of Derricks, but never another Mulebagger

It helps to be built like a heavy horse so the name fits I guess

So we played the fundraiser event benefitting the family of a young girl who is battling Leukemia. Had a great time doing it. I was there at 11 AM to help the sound man set up his gear. Show started at 2 PM and ran until Midnight. I left for a few hours in the middle because I had to play hockey. My band went on at 8 or rather 8:15 due to one of the supplied backline amps refusing to "amp". Played a short set and unfortunately only got through half of what we prepared. But a schedule is a schedule and the show must move on. We seem to have been well received. People danced and cheered and clapped after the songs. Got some nice comments on both by MapleGlo Ric and my playing of it so that made me happy. Lead guitarist (playing my Strat which is one of the sweetest guitars I've ever laid hands on) also got a lot of compliments on her playing. She's really good. Certainly the strongest member of the band.

I stayed to the end of the night and helped tear down. A lot of fun!

Anyway, in all the event raised about $10,000 for the family so that was really great!

Excellent BG! Given the choice I would take good karma over a 401K for future benefits any time.

Unlike the San Jose Sharks who haven't "played" hockey for the past 7 (or 9) games

Nice work BG! I'm sure it will be greatly appreciated.

DON'T REMIND ME!

What a train wreck so far.

Seems to me my Canucks are coming to visit the Blackhawks. Any time those two meet is always a good game. Both Luongo & Schneider have had pretty medium starts the last couple of games. Hopefully one of them shows up with their A game face.

BassGen · #**931** 02-18-2013, 07:17 PM

Thanks everybody! It was a fun time.

Oh man, what a great time to be a Hawks fan it must be. This season will be talked about for a long time for them. They're just blowing the rest of us mere mortals outta the rink.

Hey there, peeps. Today was the day. I'm sucked dry, I think. This has been such a difficult situation. Thank you doesn't seem big enough to express my gratitude to all of the CWB family for being here with kind thoughts, prayers, and emotional support through this very difficult time. I truly appreciate each and every one of you, and a special thank you to PA and FM who wouldn't take no for an answer and came to Southern Illinois for a few days to make sure I was really okay.

We probably turned the local CVS on its ear, but it was worth it. And, PA, they're scorpions, not serpents.

Luv you all bunches!

etoncrow · #**934** 02-19-2013, 07:29 PM

You know, in case you might have forgotten, you gals are mighty special.

You're quite welcome, Tat.

chuck3 · #**936** 02-19-2013, 08:40 PM

you've been in my thoughts, Tat. And, yeah, all three of you are special.

JimB52 · #**937** 02-19-2013, 09:41 PM

If you judge a person by the friends they have, and the people that care about them, then you are one of the best, Ms Heart.

BassGen · #**938** 02-20-2013, 05:11 AM

Hey Tat, hope time is doing it's job. Me and the Family are sitting at the airport in Toronto waiting to board.

tomydacat · #**939** 02-20-2013, 06:22 AM

BG, hope you and the family have an awesome trip. I'm not gonna make it back while you're there. There are a lot of things to take care of here and I need to stay for a while.
