Good Stuff; shades of NIN. Keep the drummer. Made neither head nor tail of the video, but didn't regret having watched and listened. Well done, all.

And for those feeling a bit 'socially un-adapted', shy, retiring: you're far from alone. Others feel that way too. Here's 'People's Parties'... Sublime, and so precisely exact..!

How right you are; I'd be glad to rectify that. Three that I listen to very regularly, and which have absolutely no duff track..? Court And Spark The Hissing Of Summer Lawns Hejira There are others, but as we're only allowed three, I'll, with regret, let slide 'Taming The Tiger', 'Blue', Clouds', 'Songs To A Seagull', 'Don Juan's Reckless Daughter', 'Mingus', 'Ladies Of The Canyon', ...

Rose has gone back to France; she was only here as an au pear.

Our Youngest wanted to play bass, but expressed desire for a fiver to start with. I got him a Cort fiver, but very shortly after, I got my six-string fretless. He nabbed it, and has played pretty well nothing else since. He now assures the bass for all of our repertoire, with apparent ease. Yes, one can start on a fiver, or a sixer, or even a fretless. It's the motivation that counts for most, I reckon. Just my tuppence-worth.

Ola..! No call for talk like that, bud..!

There were many acoustic and electric guitars made in the '50s that had chunky necks and no truss rod that are still fine today (early Hofners, for instance...). From the dimension given, I'd see no problem in stringing that up. Any tension that'll bend that would need an iron girder to counter it, anyway..! Our Eldest is building his very first electric, and has chosen a fine double-action truss rod for it, but the neck is far slimmer than your db neck. I'd suggest 'No truss rod'; it'll be an unnecessary complication for no real benefit.

The only music I've bought this century has been CDs issued by members of this forum. I'm not sure if that's a Good Thing or a Bad Thing.

Is that 'doing' as in 'boing'..?

Good evening, Twanger, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

It was just fir a laugh.

Dedindi... May I offer you, as some (OK rather unfair...) sort of comparison, an old title from an early Fairport Convention album; the idea being to give some notion of dynamic and dissonance. Hope this helps; your stuff is fine; could be better still, in my humble opinion. Enjoy (..?).

Thank Kevin for that.

These things are not always plane sailing.

OK; maybe the topic title needs changing to 'The most musically popular musician of all time'..? Apparently it's synonymous with 'talented', so...

Here's the view of The Musical Quarterly, 1915... The Measurement of Musical Talent ... ... if that helps (which I doubt...).

"Who knows where the time goes..?" (Sandy Denny, Fairport Convention...)

He ripped his leg on a protruding nail. There were tears in Kevin.

Yup; you were too blotto to notice.

Why am I not surprised..?

You mean... write out a TAB..? ...
