ok i play steel guitar and the sound is unique nothing else sounds like a steel. well about a year and half ago i was hired to play at a funeral. they wanted something different other than the usualy organ music. now after the funeral service started there came a point in the service that i was to play a solo. and for the solo the children of the deceased wanted me to play in the garden. so i started playing from memory but i still had the tab sheets in front of me for referance. oh i was trying so hard to make it sound the best they had ever heard and all of a sudden i forgot what notes was next and couldn't find my place on the tab sheets. so i got the song a little messed up there for a couple seconds. i thnk i turned a very bright red due to being imbarrased cause i know i hit a wrong string or two and there was about 200 people there with all eyes on me.

Don't Fret Doc after your, back of the pickup truck story, this yarn is pale. Besides, half the time those twinge / twangee steels sound off key ... For a while I thought you were going for a 'could have raised the dead' ending.. 2nd place trophy today..Now that's embarrasing .

Don't get your panties in a wad Doc, You are off key in more ways than one..I was paying you a compliment. I know I'm new to your blog neighborhood. And this is not a challenge for turf. You're the top dog ..
But if you really read, what I wrote. You would realize that I had to read what you
wrote plus what you had written (other blogs,other posts and that's not a simple task) so that I could write what I actually wrote.. You always get the 1st place trophy, I gave you a second.. Your back of the pickup story Hi ol'silver, a riot, I gave it a plug. Your missed key, I gave it a out, some reason.
I didn't point out your blatant misspelling of imbarrasing, though I did reuse it (corrected).
I SIR have paid you a great compliment , by taking the time to read you and what
you write. I think you have great talent. We all have our rough spots and edges.
For some, its spelling for others its grammar or punctuation. I'm weak in all.
I know you would not think about showing your trike with unpolished crome or a piece of manure on the seat. Why you throw away your great thoughts and wit with such abandon to final presentation is a loss to all. Even your son in Arkansas will or would appreciate a bound ledger of your (proofed) writings, Yes, I even read profiles. Have you read mine?

I'll make a footnote of that. But, the mystery to me is, why people like it at all.. Personally, I think it sounds like #$$%^, way below bagpipes.. I guess it's an aquired taste, like eggplant or rudabaker ( sp?) .. I guess, I'm not that evolved YET.. lol Good luck in your next cycle meet.

oh there are some people that don't like the twang but its not all twang but most people that like country music likes the sound of the steel. i did a concert at the state fair last year and have played a lot of other places and most seem to like it. i play complete songs not just phrases with a band. i have my own back up music that i play through a pa system and even if you don't like the twang, thats not the type of music i play, you'd probably like what you hear. so instead of talking about me why not tell one of your imbarrasing moments.

See, it's that kind of banter, that the three of you do, that is real entertainment for the reader.
It's almost a lost art.( or one heck of an accident) ... HB, I'd like to do an IQ test on you. If that stuff is your material and not something gleaned from joke books or comedy central. And you are doing a word game with the word prowl (indian pun )and mixing it with probably and coming up w/ prolly... You could be an Effin genius.

Thanks for the invation Doc. You won't see me that often, but I'm home this weekend, curing a cold.
Once upon a time, isn't that how all good stories start. There was a dot com era. If you were a dot com company life was good. Every day was a better day than the day before. Your stock doubled and your customer base doubled. The word infinity took on a broader meaning.
But the communication business has a fickle side and being new comers,
young, ten feet tall and bullet proof, we didn't have a clue. We thought,
my partner and I, that our success was due solely to our business savvy. We were sharp or so I thought.
Time to sell.. Cash in this baby.. We did our home work, and the buyers did theirs. They came to us, intimidation time, 3 black lincolns, Suits, ties and brief cases. They threw numbers . We threw new numbers back.
They countered , we counter-countered. They said in essence, you win.
Said, they would get back to us and left.
My partner and I looked at each other. Each of us still holding our frozen poker face. Then it happened, a smile, a laugh, a yahoo, back slapping, hand clapping, jig dancing. Damn we did it.. Aha, it was good. We talked about which equipment we had to wet nurse until the deal was done..How our t shirts won out over the power ties. And , the guy in the blue suit, the presidents son, didn't know a hole in the ground.
A black lincoln drove up.. Could they be back already? A gopher ran in
and said, " Sam forgot his brief case" as he recovered it from behind some chairs. I knew right then it had a recorder in it. and we were caught on tape.
We eventually sold to them, but not at the figures we expected. I know they recorded us, because at closing someone asked us how we liked their
power ties. It's funny now , but it wasn't then.

Rowrus, that was right kind of you to say.
But I'm fraid there aint no IQ test that goes low enuff for me. 
The afore mentioned remark is an old sayin that we used ta use round here bouts.
I dont watch comedy central nor read joke books. However I do read the many jokes sent to me onna daily basis.
To say one repeated something they heard can only be true, cuz everything we say is something we have heard or read somewhere, otherwise we'd not know how to communicate.
and old sayings will be lost if we dont use em once inna while.

We had a sail blow out (pre dacron ) , No thread in the kit, Fortune was with us, we had a pseudo JB look alike on board. She whipped out her dentinal floss and in no time flat we were underway again. I guess that was an embarrassing moment, because no one thought she had anything to contribute to the race and she ended up saving the day..
Oh' HB on the indian underwear. It was a good accident ( funny too).
That makes 2 good accidents that I know of.. I'm the other one..
Your statement "To say one repeated something they heard can only be true, cuz everything we say is something we have heard or read somewhere, otherwise we'd not know how to communicate" .... It does not give credit to the creative process.
Six guys and myself go fishing. I goose egg.
Get home and the neighbor asks. Did YOU catch anything, I don't want him to know about my zero because of fish rivalry we have going on. so I say,( creative process) >> "between the seven of us we caught 28" ..
