Trek to the Swamp

Oh Chili, When a player hands over his instruments to play that is the highest honor another player can receive! Just being outside w/ no acoustics it was hard to appreciate the nuances of each instrument and how you have to alter ones technique aka. touch to get out what you hear in your head, then when, more comfortable with it, just let ones mind go blank at start playing w/o thinking about it, just to see whatever comes out. Next in my head was highway star but Van Halens " Beautiful Girls " trumped it thou I couldn't get that lickidy split right hand feel he gets to pull it off. Another thing is I'd probably never get a chance to check out the different Guits we gave each other the opportunity to fiddle with. That alone was priceless!

And worked on my old Ford some. But, to be honest, I'm just not into going out type get together's or get together's in general. I'm more of a one on one or a couple people hang out at a house type person, go for a bike ride, fishing or something. Not really into parties, group events, etc - never really have been I guess.

Sounds like you guys had fun though and that's what it is about :)

In simple English, what Drumoid just said was ... He got a heads up that Adrian was coming and dipped out. He feels very sorry for the ill-informed.
 
As always, late to the thread and almost missed the meeting.
Saw an email Monday AM around 9:45, said we were meeting in Lakeland @ 11:00.

Yikes...:eek:

But I made it & was glad I did.
Great seeing the usual cast of characters & finally meeting Chili.

Drumoid, I understand your 1 on 1 comfort zone, but can also say our hookup was not really like a party. Just some stories, burgers, cokes, beers and a few guitar oglings in the parking lot among regular Joe type brothers. Kind of just like here but with food LOL
 
Glad to hear a good time was had by all and the internet is truly good for something and not mostly trouble or a waste of time.

Sounds like you guys had fun, which is cool. But, probably, the easiest way to meet/hang with me is to say 'hey, I'm passing your exit on I4 and swinging over for a coffee' put the pot on. From there who knows. There are a few places around I could give a tour on. Dress code: flip-flops/sandals, shorts, Florida gulf shirt, etc. Unless you want to wear something else ;)

I'm not unfriendly at all, but I don't like eating out, etc. Never have, I actually find it kind of irritating - lol. Just the way I'm wired I guess...
My number one rule is when you've been at my house an hour or more (collectively, doesn't have to be in one trip) - if you want, go get it...

Cool deal, oswegi. I am the same way about my buddies visiting. If someone just shows up, I am glad they came. If they hang out for 5 minutes or 5 hours all is good. Glad u made progress on your projects.

Funny you should as Oswego. When I was younger I used to get mail that was meant for Oswego - we had the same name, not sure why it keep ending up with me - I never lived in or been to Oswego.
