Oh, and post a pic, it's mandatory.

I'm gonna be okay. Good friends here on TB spent a lot of time with me last night and today. It's made the coping easier.[/QUOTE]
Orlando's tightly-knit musical community was shocked Saturday by the killing of one its own after playing a gig in Polk County.
Ralph Ameduri Jr., 45, a well-known bassist and guitarist, was shot behind Jessie's Bar at 118 Third Street NW in Winter Haven about 1 a.m.
Ameduri had been playing bass with Thomas Wynn & The Believers, substituting for another musician.
"The band was taking a break and they were on the back patio area when the unknown suspect demanded money," said Winter Haven police spokeswoman Jamie Brown. "We do not know what prompted [the robber] to shoot."
Ameduri was transported to Winter Haven Hospital and then Lakeland Regional Medical Center, where he died.
Police were looking for the gunman.
Friends gathered at Ameduri's home later Saturday and remembered him as a man of big passions: for food, argument, music and Catie Satterwhite, his girlfriend of five years.
"He would never pass up an opportunity to play music, never," Satterwhite said.
His fellow musicians knew him as someone with a dizzying breadth of knowledge about different musical genres. In the Orlando area, he could be found playing with rock, punk, bluegrass or jazz bands.
At gatherings at his home and other places, he always knew just the right record to play at the right moment, friends said.
One of Ameduri's proudest musical moments came last summer, when he was able to jam with several older bluegrass players, said musician and friend Mike Levin.
He was insatiably curious, and loved to learn about new things, often so he could argue in his typically calm, good-natured fashion -- about them.
"He could comment about anything," Levin said.
Ameduri was also known as someone who encouraged other musicians and helped them put their music and lives in perspective.
"He always made me step back and not take myself so seriously," said Jeff Sweat, another musician and friend.
"He was just such a charismatic and charming man," said Holly Hill, Satterwhite's sister, who described Ameduri as someone who always had a smile on his face. Hill said her own daughter, Maddi, 17, had described Ameduri as "just the coolest guy on Earth."
Ameduri had worked as a graphic designer for Metropolis Graphics in Winter Park.
Bands he had played with included The Legendary JC's, The Rondos, and his own band, The Hamiltons. He also served as a recording engineer for local musicians.
In quiet moments, he could be found enjoying coffee with Satterwhite, discussing "whatever was on our minds," she said.
"He was just a good, dear friend, a kindred spirit," said Dana Fasano, another musician. "He'll be sorely missed."

I with all my heart don't meen to "bring down feeling to this wonderfull thread, thought some might want to get an Idea of who he was.

No, I'm harder to insult than that. I just thought it would be amusing to post. There are multi-instrumentalists on TB. (On this thread it might be appropriate to refer to multi-instrumentalists as.. "bi-musical".)
lol

PassivAggressiv said:Hey, Tat2dHeart. It's early, you're probably not up yet, but I was thinking of you and wanted to see how you were holding up today...
Deej, I hope you are getting some awesome pics ready for part 3, we're gonna need you to start us off again soon. I personally would love to see you rockin' some heels or boots. (I have a thing for shoes, LOL)
that can be tricky. the shoes I have in mind are hard to walk on on carpet and I'll have to see if a friend can come over to help. plus if the next edition comes up when I'm on the plane to New Orleans that is another factor.
hopefully today after brunch I can coral someone to help
^challenge accepted!

@ Everyone going through TB withdrawals with me: I thought I was the only one going nuts with no TB to log into. Thanking the bass gods we’re back! I needed something to distract me from myself after the shortest recorded date in history. 
No TB – had to google myself. 
That didn’t help. LOL.
@ Thor: Things are gradually looking up. It’ll get better with time. Glad to see you’re up and feeling a little better. We’ve missed you!
@ THand: Ouch. You okay? You know how to find me if you want to talk. I promise to whisper so it doesn’t make your head hurt any worse.
@ PassivAggressiv: Better today than yesterday. Time is great medicine. It’ll take a while to really get over, but I’m trying to use the weekend to my advantage. Tried going on a date – see above. I had 10 songs to learn for 14 October. I’m through 5 of them in a week. My aged brain is really struggling with this pace – but it’s definitely helping me focus on anything different. Although I have what looks like it's going to be an awesome blister. Have to run out for superglue later.
@ wagdog: And Suzi would be RIGHT!
@ PapaDangerous: I haven’t nailed timing yet, so I’m in no position to poke fun at yours. LOL.
@ ric3xrt: Thank you for sharing what you found about Ralph. He was a very well respected and well loved member of our local musical community and people are reeling.
@ drummer5359: Bi-musical – 2 instruments. Poly-musical – 3 or more instruments. We can’t forget those who play everything under the sun.
@ EvilUndead: It wasn’t me. Really. Truly. Honest. I didn’t say a WORD about that French maid costume. Cross my heart and hope for swats.

I hate having to choose. But in this case, I'm going w/o because WOW - you have beautiful eyes.

Okay folks - so I told you all that I'd try to have new pics by Thursday or Saturday. No rehearsals either of those days as I originally thought, so I used my time after the catastrophic shortest date in history last night to take a few myself. Now let's see if I can make them upload.

Hahaha! It looks like zombies vs those stupid pokemon things! I am on the zombie side for sure on this one!
Ty! xD That picture does no justice to my eyes lol They are bright as blue can be sometimes. Other times they get a gray tone. One day I had my contacts in and everyone just kept coming up to me and talking about how blue and nice my eyes were
