  1. Very nice Phil, my kind of stuff. You just keep getting better and better. Rocky
  2. As a side note, I know our Gov'ment is desperate for money but..... I mailed my tax return with a personal check at noon April 14, the check cleared my bank on April 15th. Now, that is effeciency. Our future is secure. Ho,ho,ho Rocky
  3. MY wife says, "getting old is not for sissies" . I live on Motrin and each day is a new "Pain Experience" Rocky
  4. Have you considered: "The Band"
  5. 14 posts in 6 minutes. I think that is a new record. Rocky
  6. Since you are in the UK, I will loan you my bands name at no charge. "Complex Simplicity" Rocky
  7. I have had about 32 cars at last count. What would you like to know? Rocky
  8. So, what's wrong with Ya'll? Texas is the birthplace of Ya'll. Rocky
  9. Geoff, All or Nuffin was very good, I'm proud of you, playing and sing at the sametime. I'm impressed. I can't even smile and play at the same time. Rocky
  10. Our gas prices rose to about $3.45 per gallon today with Diesel at $4.50 Just a few years ago Diesel was much cheaper that gasoline now it's more expensive. I think the increase has been from taxes. Rocky
  11. Phil, My wife and I basically live on our Social Security plus the added income I have from buying and selling Basses. For us, the severe increase in the cost of food (30% to $40%), is very problematic. I think the cost of fuel is largely responsible for that. We have limited our driving to adjust our transpotation cost. I guess living in London is a lot like living in New York City, you really don't need a car. In our city, you have to drive everywhere, nothing is within walking distance. I don't think live music has suffered yet, everyone s seems to find the money to go out and have a good time. Rocky
  12. Phil, you mentioned an economic downturn. How extensive is it and what are the basic causes. I believe that most of the US troubles came from the press telling everyone we were in a recession. Now, I guess we are. Things in my part of the country are stll very good. Building is good, unemployment is low, etc, The biggest stimulus must the the money OBama is spending to get the Demo nomination. Rocky
  13. One company owns all of the big box stores. Same catalog, exact same prices. I would not call it compitition. Monopoly? Pretty close. Rocky
  14. Quick Karl, write a "Country Song" the time is right. Rocky
  15. Steve or Paul? No Jaco? No more Lesbos? Whats up?
  16. I have also built several custom basses and the most difficult and time consuming job is making the custom pickguard. Rocky
  17. I feel that I must teach you younger guys how to simplify your life. Take socks for instance. All of my socks are exactly the same. All black. If I reach into the drawer and pull two out, they match. If I loose one in the black hole (the Dryer) I have a perfect replacement from the one that was left from the last pair that went missing. This is lesson 1 on simplicity in life. More to follow. Rocky
  18. I missed the last few minutes of Idol, who was voted off????
  19. Yea, Saturday was very lonely over here. The technical threads seem to get a lot of attention. Somebody keeps saying, Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump.
  20. Great video, great music, great hair. Very great hair. Rocky
  21. You guys are makin' me sick. I'm going back to my bowl of Menudo. Barbcoa is good, just don't ask what it is. Rocky
