I still have my old Stratocaster but it hasn't been out of the case for quite a while.

This guy does pretty good on the electric shovel

DeanT - Posted - 10/15/2016:  14:27:12

I love the electric shovel! And only 3 strings! I'm the odd man out here, because I'd take my Tele over my banjo any day. I still play my Tele way more.

It only took me two days... but I finally got the last post!

dmiller - Posted - 10/17/2016:  17:21:53

Congratulations!

I know... I'm slow! 

dmiller - Posted - 10/18/2016:  00:48:34

Slow??  I was at our usual Wednesday night Bluegrass jam (this was a few years ago), and the evening was beginning to wear on me around 9 PM, so I said:  "OK friends - - one more tune for me, because I have to leave here pretty quick". One of the other pickers there in our jam said:  "Dave - - I've never seen you do ANYTHING quick".  



Some folks have said if I moved any slower, I'd be in a coma.

my wife says I drive like I'm in a coma

OM45GE - Posted - 10/18/2016:  06:51:38

I'm in the middle of on-line training for my company about all kinds of compliance issues. I'm about to slip into a coma. If you don't hear from me in a couple of days, send the dogs!

dat - Posted - 10/18/2016:  07:16:53

I feel like I'm moving slow today, up last night till after 1, then the dogs were singing all night

but I have less than two weeks here, so I feel pretty good

OM45GE - Posted - 10/18/2016:  10:05:29

Short timer!

dat - Posted - 10/18/2016:  10:14:11

oh yeah   

they offered a raise, I told him that I was just ready for something different, they offered a different position, working with less people,   I thought it was nice, but I was still ready for a change 

dat - Posted - 10/18/2016:  10:33:49

47 years old and starting over doing kind of what I did right out of high school, one thing for sure. my body will either get in shape, of balk at it pretty bad

DeanT - Posted - 10/18/2016:  12:51:09

I've thought about that. I retired and now I work out a lot. Why didn't I just get a job loading trucks at UPS?

dat - Posted - 10/18/2016:  13:16:20

'cause you can work out when you want to n'stead of when yer told to prob'ly  

DeanT - Posted - 10/18/2016:  13:22:53

Good point! OK, I'll stay retired....

OM45GE - Posted - 10/18/2016:  13:28:07

Good thinking!

dat - Posted - 10/18/2016:  13:33:29

I'll be one of them scrawny wrinkled up guys you see still working at 80,   if I live that long

This is my old grandpa on my mother's side - sometime in the 1940's. He worked his little farm until he was 87. I've got 20 more years if I want to beat him.

OM45GE - Posted - 10/19/2016:  02:44:02

What's the saying - bodies in motion tend to stay in motion?

DeanT - Posted - 10/19/2016:  04:26:02

That's why I workout and run marathons... just trying to keep moving.

folks dressed like that back then and it looked classy, people try to dress like that now and look goofy cause they're fake and just trying to pull it off

OM45GE - Posted - 10/19/2016:  09:46:41

How about these fashionable dudes and dudettes?

 

dat - Posted - 10/19/2016:  10:06:48

that just about reminds me of this

Where's Scrappy?

dat - Posted - 10/19/2016:  10:47:56

aw, everybody knows that scrappy was an afterthought that didn't ft 

OM45GE - Posted - 10/19/2016:  11:01:58

Back in the 60's, one of the bands I was in wore these. Hrd to believe, but it was in style.

 

dat - Posted - 10/19/2016:  11:20:04

don't you miss the days of big collars

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/19/2016:  11:29:45

Big collars, bell bottoms, loud colours, goofy hair.....

dat - Posted - 10/19/2016:  11:55:52

I had to go back to Jerry Reed, he liked big collars too

OM45GE - Posted - 10/19/2016:  15:28:49

Bands did dance steps back then. I wasn't coordinated enough to do steps and play guitar at the same time, but I did my best. 

DeanT - Posted - 10/19/2016:  16:14:12

That's what I call good rapp! Man they had it figured out a long time ago!

OM45GE - Posted - 10/20/2016:  02:51:52

Nice shirt too. 

dat - Posted - 10/20/2016:  07:52:01

I never could dance, but if I drank enough I tried, if nothing else somebody got a good laugh

OM45GE - Posted - 10/20/2016:  08:00:54

My band mates definitely got a laugh out of me.

dat - Posted - 10/20/2016:  08:14:01

I like a good laugh, even if it's at my expense and have to look back at it

OM45GE - Posted - 10/20/2016:  10:49:43

Me too

DeanT - Posted - 10/20/2016:  11:08:55

I can't dance either... that's why I'm in the band...

chuckv97 - Posted - 10/20/2016:  12:00:10

I was too bashful to dance, but did a fake job if I had a few. Girls weren't too impressed....

OM45GE - Posted - 10/20/2016:  12:36:48

if you look up the word "awkward" in the dictionary, there's a photo of me dancing.

dat - Posted - 10/20/2016:  12:45:34

kinda long video,  but I tried to keep up with the older folks and couln't,   some of the old fogies slide around the dance floor like they're floating

dat - Posted - 10/20/2016:  12:52:49

we'ld usually go to the VFW and try to dance

dmiller - Posted - 10/20/2016:  20:43:44

I never could even do a slow dance, although I tried back when I was a teen and there were pretty girls around.  My brain understood the rhythm and the beat of the songs being played, but my feet and the rest of me never did.

OM45GE - Posted - 10/21/2016:  03:43:21

My ex-wife was a phenomenal dancer. I looked even worse in comparison. 

DeanT - Posted - 10/21/2016:  04:15:43

I did a lot of line dancing in the Urban Cowboy days

dat - Posted - 10/21/2016:  06:06:48

cotton eyed joe 

by the time they played that, everybody was purty much liquored up by then

DeanT - Posted - 10/21/2016:  11:02:33

That and the Texas 10-step... to a song I can't remember... the only line that comes to mind is "Clyde played electric bass, played it with finesse and grace"
