    Dreaming as practice?

    I once fixed a USAF Autotrack ground radar system in my sleep. I flew into my new duty assignment, was told I was assigned to fix a system that no one else had been able to do for over a year, so they gave me a nice cot and said “have at it”. That night I mentally solved the rather complex...

    Cutting band members loose

    I’ve got to follow a couple other opinions here… your gigging schedule sounds rather light to someone pulling 3-5 nights a week, so I’d personally classify y’all as very light-duty players. Pros have no time for plucking for nothing. Rehearsals happen at the gig, LOL. I don’t know the full...

    Do you really need luminlay?

    I drilled out the lame factory no-glow dots on my Ibanaez EHB1005 MS and dropped in super bright high-gloss white enamel, exactly what I needed
