record fiends UNITE!!! uh,does scratchy mp3s count? | |
|
Tue. 5/31/11 5:46pm
Drummer Some:
Scratchy old MP3s are the BEST. If there is one thing I ain't, it's a fidelity snob. (Though some of my best friends are fidelity snobs.) | |

Too bad he can't teach you, Pat. (Not that you need it or nuthin'.) This first set is definitely a dinner-eater-pleaser, Annie. | |
|
Tue. 5/31/11 6:11pm
dc pat:
Oh I need some learnin for sure. I spent the last 30 years trying NOT to play guitar right. To play like Son is going to take another 30... | |
