Jimmy's Guitar Strings

So, today I blew the dust off of my acoustic and started belting out a few tunes. Naturally, a couple of Buffett tunes were strummed. It got me to thinking.............. I know Jimmy plays a Martin acoustic, but his tone is nothing like a normal Martin guitar tone. Martins have a deep bass sound to ...

I don't understand why people from outside the Pittsburgh area dislike Hines Ward so much. Is it because he's a hard nosed football player who gives 110% every game? Is it because he's one of the best wide receivers in the game? Is it because even after being blasted by an opposing player, he jumps ...

So you're takin the red eye huh? I thought about doing that back in October ( woulda been a lot cheaper than what we did ) but I wasn't crazy about the return flight's departure time from Bonaire. Have a great time in Bonaire and happy diving. Oh yea, you should give the Ribs Factory a try for dinne...

Eh, this one could go either way...........all depends on which Steeler team shows up to play tomorrow night. If you're a Steeler fan you know what I mean. Sometimes I swear we have two entirely different set of guys who suit up to play. One set is the guys who played great for a couple of games thi...

Salty, Anegada is do-able as a day trip, but I think the ferry only runs on certain days. Check this site out for all you'd ever need to know about The BVI's. http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/postlist.php?Cat=0&Board=bvi If the ferry schedule doesn't work out for you, you could always hire...

I've refrained from commenting on the "Tortola being a dump" thing till now. I did NOT find Tortola to be anything but a beautiful and friendly island. The thing I like most about it and VG is the fact that they are NOT commercialized much at all. No mega resorts, and no American fast food...

Honestly, for the life of me, I can not understand why cruise ships want to dock in Bonaire. Bonaire is one of my favorite Caribbean islands, but my daughter and I are divers. I've always said that if you're not a diver, there's really no reason to go to Bonaire. Lots of "pod" people head ...

Whoa there, you're gonna be hard pressed to do all that in 8 days. My advice would be to relax and chill. Take things one day at a time. Remember that you're "on island time". Tortola is my idea of "paradise", and I think you'll enjoy yourself more if you just learn to do some &q...

I just bought Pinnacle Studio Plus, version 11. Seems like it will do everything I want it to do. You can also import audio for your dvd. I want to make a dvd of the pics and videos of our dive trip to Bonaire 2 weeks ago. I thought about getting Photo Shop but, it takes a long time to understand ev...

I've been a fan since BEFORE the inception of the band. They evolved from an 80's metal band called "Savatage". Their trademark hit actually was recorded by Savatage for their album "Dead Winter Dead", which is the story of a boy and a girl who meet and fall in love, despite fig...

I don't understand why you need to show your birth certificate again. My daughter and I went to the post office in early June to RENEW hers for our October trip to Bonaire. She was under age 16 when she got her first one. There was no need to show a birth certificate because she already had a passpo...
