You have a twin brother? God help us :roflmao:

Seriously, how do you get on in the band together? I can't have imagined ever being able to work closely with my sister, we were always arguing

I got kicked out of school for fighting with him in third grade. He started it and I got punished and sent to another school, story of my young life. We get on pretty well these days, were all we got whether we like it or not. ;)

Make the most of him, I lost my sister in a car accident 13 years ago. Strangely we always got on in school, she was a year older than me and looked after me when I was younger until we got home and she'd kick the crap out of me :)

Not to harp on tragedies, lost my brother in 2002. I'll spare the details. He was a guitar player, awesome at that.
As Scott said, (even though he was married to a wonderful lady), we were all we had.

Miss him dearly.

Ok, now to get my sorry @ss outta bed and get out, beautiful day here today, before it rains anyway.

We went to see the Stones in Cardiff last month, for old guys they can still do it better than a lot of young ones. As you can see we were right up front (cough) they were the only seats we could get despite it not being a sell out, I tell you the UK is terrible for concert tickets these days, such a con, I could rant all day! So Ronnie Wood with his Firebird which sounded beautiful

We have same problems with concert tickets here. I don’t even bother trying to go to any of the big shows.

Evolving into what? :roflmao:

I know, Wendy was so desperate to see the Stones we forked out something like £190 each for tickets with a face value of £60, there is a bit of a controversy about it at the moment here but I don't think there's anything anyone can do other than fans not buying them. Paul McCartney is playing in Liverpool in December, tickets for that would cost nearly £700 for the cheapest seats in the arena. It's a huge rip off to put it politely. We're going to see the Proclaimers tomorrow night at the local (45 miles away) theatre, £30 each

OK I need your help again for my next builds which will be a pair of Thunderbirds, one of which will be possibly more open to customisation than the other (mine). Baring in mind that Lulls, Lollars and Thunderbuckers are crazy money over here is there any chance you guys could just give a list of features that might be on your dream Tbird. Just to give me a sort of idea what other people like beyond my craving for a red one :roflmao: So stuff like construction, electronics, decoration, finish etc. etc....

Thanks :)

My daughter and I love to go to "Chicago" concerts-been to about 7 or 8, sometimes paying WAY too much. They're playing tonight in Tampa, not too far from where she lives near Orlando. Cheapest(crappy) tickets available $135 each. 90+ degree weather, outdoor amphitheater, high probability of thunderstorms. We're giving this one a miss.:(

I'm gonna stay outta this 'cause I'm strictly a NR guy(for myself)but I'll be following the suggestions with great interest. Oh, what the hell: Honduran mahogany clear coated, ebony fret board, single pup, Hipshot bridge and tuners, your take on a TBird headstock

Sorry about your brother. The way of the world not much we can do. I know my brother will leave this earth before I do, not looking forward to that day.
