What do you all think about Kenny saying that he wishes the vote for Entertainer of the Year wasn't fan voted. I can see what he is saying to a point but it still seems not very gracious as fans did vote for him. I am a Kenny fan and this kind of surprised me. Val But he made a point of saying he b...

I'd like to be head of the ATF - Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. I think we could have some good fun with their inventory.

Either that or head of customs. I'd like access to their confiscated cuban cigars.

Thanks. It's mostly strumming. Not a lot of picking. I'll check out the Fishman Rare Earth soundhole pickup.

It's a small group - two guitars, piano (who's playing too loud) and drums. I tried the electric yesterday and it didn't have the tone I wanted.

I like country music - little strange being from Northern NJ. But, I am a little tired of Carrie Underwear and Taylor Swift.

I looked a a 4-door Jeep recently. I was surprised by how poor the gas mileage is. It's not that much better than my big SUV.

Acoustic Guitar Players - Question

I'm playing in a band for the first time in 20 years. All my previous experience has been with my electric guitar. I'd like to amplify my Yahama 6-string acoustic. What's the best way to do this? 1) Just use a mike? 2) Acoustic pickup? 3) Soundhole pickup? 4) Forget it, they all sound like crap. Jus...

Any uproar in my opinion is just stupid. Yes, she said a bad word on TV. It wasn't intentional. She made a mistake. I might feel different if she intentionally sat on live TV and (in the words of my son) let the 'F' bomb drop all over. It was late at night. The only reason most kids know about it is...

Never would have given up music 20 years ago to become the "responsible" adult my father wanted. I could have still be an adult but I'd would enjoy my job more than sitting behind a desk. I'm finally picking up the guitar again after 20 years. It's coming back slowly. Never should have haw...

I believe in God. I'm not sure I believe in religion. I was watching the coverage of the Pope recently and couldn't get over how complicated religion is. I don't think it needs to be that complicated. I was born a Presbiterian. Now I'm a Lutheran. I really don't know, and don't care, about the diffe...

There are two things that help me fall of the wagon of healthy living: working long hours and being sick. Sadly, both happened this week. I like to drown my stress in food. Luckily today, I am feeling better. I was able to get out this morning and run 6 miles. I've been good with the food today as w...

Thanks for the reply. We're flying into Miami and driving down to Key West. So we'll have a car. I'll definitely check out the tournament schedule and Islamorada charters.

Fishing in Key West

I'm heading down to Key West in late June with my 13 year old son. We're going to do some fishing and exploring. But, I have no references for: 1) The best type of fishing to do with a 13 year old. We've not done a lot of fishing. 2) Some good charters - party boats or individual charters. There are...

I was doing well yesterday until I struggled with writers block. I thought some Oreos and Coffee would help me get unblocked. Then, working late in the office I found a plate of left over cookies. Oh well. No dwelling in the past. Today I ran another 6 miles before coming into work. It's nice since ...

I'm now down to about 180/185 depending on the day and how much Easter candy remains in the house. I started a program last March to get healty and eat better. I'm finding myself sliding a...
