Well now, that's a bright start for the morning!
I'm in Massachusettes. I bought an M400sm from a guy in 1996 or 7. It was in great shape, however it was painted a faux walnut. 1st I removed all that, then I painted it Crimson Red. Then I removed that and painted it White. : )
This hurts very much to say; I had to sell it in order to buy a piece of crap car.....
This was in 2003..I think. I wasn't in a band at that time and it was not being played. Any way , I did manage to record an album with it. In 1998 I released "The Gathering of The Krums" by Pye Fyte. I will own another m400..............

HI Mike,

I meant limiting only in the context of playing just the I, IV, and V chords in 12 bars.  Given those rules I think lots of room for expression, Skip James records for example.

This is bad topic for the Tron list.

Hmmm. We have something in common Fritz. What I'm good at listening to I'm not good at playing.

true dat!  Wonderful idiom   to play in.  Harder to get "right" than it seems, and the skills are   transferable to other genres.  Actually, my background as a player   is mostly from the RnB world, although my one and only album does not hint at   that at all.  What I'm good at writing is far different than what I'm   good at playing. The joys of schizophrenia!

Actually   Fritz, that is how it was with me.  Once I played with some blues guys I   found I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.  
  
Especially   since I was (am) such a progressive rock geek………..

At last,   someone who agrees with me. Blues is tedious in bulk as is reggae and anything   else musically locked into a very narrow set of   parameters..........IMHO.

And I find Clapton dull so   there.

Speaking of thread titles, this is John #9 (or is it 10? I lost count J
)

 

I have two observations - First this thread is becoming an email site

work? :-D

 

Regards, John
