  1. The Classical Music thread motivated me to pull out one of my top 10 favorite albums, if you said top 5 I wouldn't argue. Bach, got dam Bach. Listen to the "complex simplicity" of this. I know that's a contradiction in terms, but for me it defines what I am hearing. The Flentrop at the top of it's game. The King of Instruments indeed. And Biggs. Biggs is a fucking monster. I am never sorry I put this album on.
  2. I can't get the YouTube to open. Who is conductor/orchestra on that William Tell? Fucking magnificent version.
  3. This may be the best thread I've ever read on the intertrons. And that Akhlut. Yeah. Fuck that.
  4. This makes me happy. I listen to Beethoven and Mozart often. I listen to Bach every day. Soli Deo Gloria
  5. You are correct. Rene was not playing when the bone was invented. He was one of my first heroes when I was a kid. Ramirez. Bobby Lackey. Later on, James Saxon. Bigger than life to a little kid.
  6. We gotta move to night games or people gonna die.
  7. Can someone splain it to me? I'm a Texan. I've lived through plenty of 100+ days, but this heat wave just seems hotter. Is there some atmospheric thing that makes 2023 100 degrees hotter than 2008 100 degrees? I know I'm 15 years older than 2008, but come on! I spent time outside in 2008, not so much today.
  8. I look at these situations as service to society. If you fix your own brakes you are depriving some mechanic of much needed income. Be a team player. Prime the economic machine.
  9. #1. This guy is about 100X better than me. #2. Everybody posting on this thread is about 100X better than me. #3. The problem I have with this style is that it is about 90% playing the same 2 or 3 licks at different places on the neck. #4. This guy is about 100X better than me.
  10. Don't you give me no dirty looks Your father's hip, he knows what cooks
  11. I'm going to hurl
  12. UT_OB1. See pm.
  13. If you're serious, go to a doctor. Something is making your lower body retain water which sluffs off when you lay down and gravity helps expel the water.
  14. ...unlike most people...like me. Playing guitar is hard. Not so much the actual act of playing, which is difficult enough, but the act of keeping up with it. I used to be okay, then job and marriage and kids and life got in the way. So I put it down. I put it down for years thinking that some day, some day I'd pick it back up. So the kids grew up. The wife didn't want so much of my time. I picked it back up. Dammit!! My fingers won't do what my mind is telling them to do. All that muscle memory, gone. All those song structures, gone. All that hand strength, gone. But I soldiered on. It started coming back. Then my mother got sick and needed lots of care, and my time. Well, she died and I took guitar back up, but damn, no strength. No callouses. Start from the beginning. Then Dad got sick and needed lots of care, and my time, and... The point of my whining tirade is that guitar must be kept up. You have to play, at least a little, every day. It takes two weeks to get callouses. It takes two days for them to go away. You gotta really want it. Some days I want it. Some days...I'm too busy and lose everything...again. Playing guitar is hard.
  15. Each day as she walks by the sea She looks straight ahead...not at me close
  16. I believe you intended to say, watch this if you want to weep on a Tuesday morning.
  17. Nothing worse than a depressed kid. It eats at you every minute of every day.
  18. User name checks out
  19. Oh my!
  20. ...ok. If you just gotta get your purse, reach in the back seat and get it, but please don't open it or we'll never get out of here. No! Please! Noooooo!!!
  21. Put it in park. Turn off the ignition. Get out of the car. GET OUT OF THE FUCKING CAR!!
  22. I don't remember the codes but they were each one listed on my receipt. I think this guy set up his office system to bill the maximum number of codes for each visit. I don't think all docs do that at all but some do. Worse is the corporate medicine that has taken over. No matter how well intentioned the doc is they are pushed by the "company " to rush and see as many patients a day as possible. I had a pcp that I loved. Smart. Up to date. He finally quit because the company that bought out his partnership wouldn't let him practice up to the standard he had practiced over the years. I respect him for quitting rather than practicing medicine that he considered substandard.
  23. I really like the way Sabrina...uh, sings
  24. Okay. I'm going to say this is the happiest song in the world. If not number 1 there are not many ahead of it.
  25. Went for "follow up" visit to sleep specialist who prescribes my cpap. 1) see nurse practitioner who takes follow up notes. Code 1. 2) See dme who has the machine and supplies. Code 2. 3) See nurse "specialist" who shows me how to use the machine...in the event I have forgotten over the 20 years I have been using. Code 3. 4) Doctor comes in, slaps me on the shoulder, says "You look good". Leaves after 20 second "visit". Code 4. 4 billable codes in a 15 minute visit.
