It's a contatant (Constant, Yes I know but that's what I typed) pain, the spell check does help but I try my best to check things too but yes it's nowhere near perfect. I'm a lot better than I used to be but being dyslexic isn't a bonus for proof reading.

Another thing I do is put letters from the next word into the current word, I can't always tell left from right unless I think about it which can cause some serious embarrassment :roflmao: Basically I'm a badly flawed person :help:

I struggle with it too, a lot of my posts are a bit goofy

Just finished making some coffee! It went really well, overall! Had a couple flubs, but only one that was truly bad to me...no one seemed to notice so it’s all good. These guys are all only into music up until about 1966, including the 16 year old kid! Though we did original stuff, the covers were mostly Magic Sam, Freddie King, Clarence Carter (for ‘modern’ stuff!), etc. Blues and soul. The crowd really seemed to love it, which was cool. McKinley played a TK Smith guitar. Amazing custom builder in California

McKinley apprenticed at TK’s shop last summer. Instead of getting paid, he got free room and board and a guitar, including custom pg with his name on it. Not a bad deal for a 15 year old! The other guitar he brought was a Gibson Barney Kessel model.

He’s an amazing young talent, this kid. Having your dads full support is terrific. Having your dad be one of the best roots drummers alive is nice too! When they record, this kid plays everything but the drums (guitar, bass, B3 and piano) AND he does the engineering! Records everything to 1/4” 8 track, then transfers to ProTools for mixing. Incredible

All that sounds truly awesome. Great to hear. Cool guitars!

I promised not to be rude for a week :)

However and I could be wrong but I remember reading that Pizza was in fact invented in America (by Itallians) so it's actually a fusion dish :roflmao: Enjoy it, I like a good pizza :)

Almost right.

Pizza comes from Italy but it’s not like what it has become through Americanization. In Italy it is a much simpler form. Here in the states it became a complete meal with a selection of toppings that are unparalleled.

Found these:

When was the pizza invented?

Legend has it that Esposito was called upon to make a pizza for Italian King Umberto I and Queen Margarita when they visited Naples in 1889. That pizza, which featured fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil, is still known as Pizza Margarita today.

And

It is common belief that pizza was an invention by the Italians. However, the history of pizza goes back to the ancient times in the Middle East. The Greeks, Egyptians, Armenians, Israelis, and Babylonians were making some derivative of pizza in the ancient times. They would cook flat bread in mud ovens.

Edit: and this

Chinese legend surrounding the invention of pizza. There is a story in China that suggests pizza is an adaptation of the scallion pancake, brought back to Italy by Marco Polo.

All of that makes no difference since the Italians perfected it! ;)

I can find my way around the keyboard pretty quick, only trouble is I write indecipherable rubbish, it'a a bit like the monkey/typewriter and the probability of it typing the complete works of Shakespeare

They’ve got me cornered on spelling as well.
