  1. Hang on to your seat. When did you tell me that by the way....

    The guitar is a hand made Morgan, probably one of the earliest as it doesn't have a serial number, only a signature in silver ink.

    I bought it on what turns out to be the anniversary of the date of this newscast of Britain ready for war which I didn't know until Remembrance day this year, just last week....

    Aug. 23, 1939: Britain is ready for war

    Nice, sound's like a great guitar! How does it sound? Got any MP3's up any where?

  2. Since they played their first concert on my mother's birthday, I thought it would be appropriate to post a photo that I look like my mom in.

    How I often feel after reading the news ((Kill, kill, kill) I think that was an Arlo Guthrie moment):....

    Ya see there, I told you you where good looking! What kind of guitar is that? I've posted some pictures of my guitars in the Musicians area. :P

  3. I'm agreeing with you 100% on the crap Hollywood puts out these days. . :)

    I just watched Patton again and his speech at the beginning was great:

    'We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We're going to hold him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose!'

    :D

    The Military Channel has started showing war movies, I was channel surfing the other day and ended up watching "The Train" with Bert Lancaster, not a bad flick really.

  4. I remember thinking that he was saying "devil" too, that's how I was singing it at first, all the delay on the vocal track sort'a make's it hard to say for sure. I don't know if Robert Plant would say anything other than what I was told by some one more informed about the band than I, when we would play the song in one of my old band's, he corrected me by saying it was, "gentle".

    After listening to it again at that time and up too now, I'm sure it's, "gentle" and not "devil".

  5. I loved cassettes and had a million or so at one point, but time and many moves have depleted that collection. I have about 3 dozen or so still left but don't play them anymore as they're so old i'm afraid they will get destroyed if I put them in the deck. :o

    Even more bazaar is that my brother in law collects old 8 track tapes and he probably has at least a thousand of them. I don't know if they're worth anything, but it's pretty damn neat to see one of those hunks of plastic with Led Zeppelin on it.

    I used to have the 4th Album on 8-track, it was a hand-me-down from one of my older sister's. Out of all our 8-track's (we had a couple dozen) that one and a few others lasted the longest. I played it a lot when I was teaching myself to play drum's, it was one of the few that I could use as a constant stick & bass drum exercise.

  6. I used to copy albums onto cassettes until I saw this:

    If your going from one format to another (tape to CD or hard disk etc..), one copy only for back-up, it's not illegal, making more than one of the same format is the law breaker.

  7. I have a whole bunch still and just the other night I dug out all my Dire Straits ones but I can't find their live album. The last ones I got at Wal-Mart for a buck each. I'd like to put most of them to cd but don't have the do-hicky's to do that. :( What I really hate is when the player eats the tape. :rant::wall:

    If you want to pay for the blank's & postage I can do that for ya. Message me dude.

  8. I have a bunch of cassettes that I bought in my youth. I still occasionally listen to some of them. Some of them(the ones I really enjoy listening to the most), I've since replaced on CD.

    When I was younger I used to love taping songs off the radio. I have quite a few "Radio Compilations" in my collection, but haven't listened to any of them in ages.

    I used to do that all the time.. with one of these,

    I got one of these now...

    Most of the old tape's I made in the 1980's are not usable any more as I didn't store them properly. Only down fall with analog tape is it will degrade in a short time if you don't keep it dry, cool and away from all source's of light!

    Sony Pro's are good blank's as well as the higher priced Maxell's.
