    I think it was nice of them to shut off the recorder before they got to the dirty verses.
    I KNOW they're dirty.
    I wrote most of them.

    Anybody want all eleven of the verses I've either collected or made up, e-mail me and I'll send them along.

  • Ron' on Safari
    I don't think Ron would mind if I posted his picture of his most recent adventure.
    He went on a hunt this past week and killed this cow for meat for the people that
    allowed him to participate in this event.

    A good friend of mine is a Luthier, and builds custom guitars.  He has taught me a lot.  Treat him well Barbie, and study all you can.

  • Re: Help! Sympathetic vibration (3rd string)
    No strings should buzz.  (except on Fig's banjo) Buzzing sound is usually caused by the string hitting a fret when it shouldn't.

    There are several things that can cause buzzes.

    You have to determine what is exactly causing the buzz.

    If it is just the o…

    His fingers were starting to curl in and he had large c…

  • Re: The Dupuytren's Contracture Breakdown
    So, is this helped with injections or surgery …..? or maybe therapy ?
  • Re: The Dupuytren's Contracture Breakdown
    this might be what a friend of mine had. is this the thing that is more prevalent in folks of Scandinavian origin?
  • Re: The Dupuytren's Contracture Breakdown
    Since your RIGHT hand is more "strumming" than "picking", I shall not fault you for  deviating from the "Picking  and GRINNING" tradition.
