Good grief !! Why don't you practice more or improv with such a beautiful room?? Do you remember what garages look like?

Life is happening (not the good bits) for one member of my band in particular. Time gets short, and one must prioritize.
Thank you. I do love my studio though, and spend a bit of time there myself. I used to record demos for a few local bands in our down time...that’s where some gear came from...like the Marshall 4X12....flexible payment plans, and such.
I park my car in my garage often, so yes, I do remember what garages look like.o_O
 
This one is easy and you all already know what I'm gonna say.

I woke up - WIN!
No mushroom cloud over Manhattan - WIN!
Money came right out of the ATM - WIN!


(Speaking of which, my initials are ATM.
That was good for a whole boatload of running
jokes when my children were teenagers.)

That's the funniest thing I've heard today :-)

And leads to more of my pet hates ...
People saying ATM machine. So they are saying "Automated Teller Machine Machine".
And following up with, PIN number, they are saying "Personal Identification Number Number".

OK, how many guitarists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Let's see....

There'll need to be one guitarist to ask if there is any TAB for how to screw in the light bulb...

Then, we'll need another guitarist to explain why we really should have standard notation for the light bulb, not TAB...

Of course, we'll need the guitarist who insists he can figure out how to screw in the bulb by ear. He'll be the one with the burn mark on the side of his head...

Just about the time one guitarist gets brave and attempts to screw the bulb in, another one will stop him and say, "No, that's not right!"

Invariably, there will be the guitarist who randomly runs around the room and just throws light bulbs at the socket, in a sort of "light bulb solo."

*****

In the end, we'll get the sound guy to do it.

Life gets in my way too. That's my #1 excuse for not practicing.

Yep, coupled with a need for the unattainable...control.

I was gonna say Type A, but I think control covers that

That is soooo close to my version you stole all my fun for the day. Takes 11. One to do it and ten to tell him how he coulda done it better.

Man! I'm always up early. First thing no do - put on coffee and grab my double neck.

I try to put in at least 30-45 minutes every morning and at least 1 hour every night, if not more. I feel empty if I don't play.

Every once in a while, my wife and daughter will have a "girl day" and I'm home alone. Its not uncommon for me to play 10-12 hours.

I don't stop until they walk through the door...
 
My fon just put on "Tracks" by itself. If that's not a sign from the great beyond, I don't know what is. Ya'll can tolerate this-it's comedy.
