Based on what?

I know bluesy's probably going to hate me for drawing attention to him like this, since he's so understated, but this needs to be said, and I wanted to say it to everyone. Plus, Edna said that we should share musical experiences with one another. Today, in the mail, I recieved a few cd's bluesy sent to me. It's selected cuts from Stevie Ray Vaughan's box set, which I don't own.(yet) I was already giddy at the prospect of having new SRV, but when I put it in, wow. I never get over how much that guy amazes me. Bluesy also included copies of the booklet that went with it, and I was reading it, and I see: Looking Out The Window Look at Little Sister Willie the Wimp Recorded June 30,1987 Mann Music Center, Philadelphia, Pa. I got cold shivers and goosebumps. I was at that show ! Bluesy, old son, you've given me probably the greatest gift of music I could ever get from anyone. Everyone around here knows I love SRV. He moves me, speaks to me. Now, to have that connection, 17 years later, to hear the same notes he play while I was right there with him, well, that's something I don't think will ever be topped. It's like a circle has been completed for me, is the best way I can describe it. Like now, I can finally accept that Stevie's not coming back. Anyway, bluesy, you are the man. No one will ever be able to tell me different. Geez, I'm such a geek.

Well? you're supposed to pick another song, woman.

I stand corrected. Not for ther first time, either.

Beats me. I just enjoy the cast. I've never seen it.

My first album, Paranoid, cost 6 bucks. I saw Kiss at the Philadelphia Spectrum for 7 dollars general admission. That was the floor.

I tried to be a gentleman about this, and keep it discreet, but since you feel it necessary to drag it onto the boards, I will respond once. I realize you've had 60,000 posts elsewhere, but here, you have less than 200. You're the new guy. Deal with it. And telling everyone they need to learn to lighten up isn't doing your two star rating any favors. Quite the contrary, my friend, it is you who needs to do the learning. You don't come into a forum as a n00b, and tell everyone they're going to have to learn to get used to the way you do things. As far as changing the post to lighten the mood "as long as everyone understands that is the purpose", your condescending tone does nothing to help your cause, as well as the offhand dig at the intelligence of the people here. We all 'get it'. There are no dummies here. Plus, I'm sure you'd be courteous enough to ask the poster if it was ok before you took the liberty of altering their words. I know you're not that inconsiderate as to think just because you want to make a witty remark, that you can do whatever you want with another's post. Right? You, appaerntly, are the only one that doesn't get it, as evidenced by your relentless drive to run the show since you arrived. You're one fish in this pond. And a new fish, at that. If anyone needs to get used to anything, it's you, my friend. That's all you'll hear from me on the subject. Carry on.

I like it. It's a revelation of one's dreams, although presently not attainable, there's the realization that they might be one day. And if not, the person is comfortable with the fact that they may only be able to see them, if not reach.

Aaahhh.......better.

Faster Pussycat, die! die!

I've said it before...I'm not just another pretty face.

Where the heck are the posts for the 26th? I read this thread first every day, and now....nothing. Get a guy hooked, then cut him off. DEALERS! PUSHERS! That's what you are!

Hi Nikki. I'm jr. You're gonna have to take that horse outside. And don't point that epee at people. Welcome to Songfacts. Today's specials are mahi mahi and Cajun Blackened Swordfish.

You needn't worry about the stars, youngest. By the way, do you feel ok? You're a bit pale.

It's just a collection of her short stories. I spotted it at the library, and thought, "I've not read anything by her." So I grabbed it. I'll tell you, I've been very pleasantly surprized.

Has anyone mentioned the theme from Andy Griffith? That's fun to whistle.

Lizzie, I don't know if you realize this or not, but you've a piece of white tape with a red 'X' on it stuck to the right side of your forehead.

Sort of a Blue's Clues. eh? Sorry.

Oh, yeah. Once a kid learns to walk, they get a whole new personality. It's as if they say, "Hey, I have my own set of wheels, what do I need you for?" You child will do something to make you laugh every day. I remember the first ultra sound picture. I got home from work, and my wife said, "You see that black dot? That's the baby" "What's that other black dot?" "That's the other baby" Man, it's been on ever since. I've worn a lot of hats in my day, but "Dad" is my favorite.

Utah in da hoooouuussseeee!. Ahem. Sorry. Welcome to Songfacts. I'm jr. Try the complimentary coffee and donuts in the lobby. Don't eat the Eclair, though. That's Elvy's. She going to be a mom.

Absolutely not. Everyone is welcome at Songfacts.

Well now, you know I'm up on all of today's music.

You're 12? Well, Danielj will need to hear about this. I think you should send him a PM, Lizzie. Yes, Pm Danielj and introduce yourself.

If I were you, I'd do it, if for no other eason, just to experience it. Go to a farmer's market, plop down 20, 30 bucks for a turntable, get a few records, and have at it. It'd be senseless to sink a bunch of money into it, only to find out later you'd rather not deal with it. Just see if you can get a stereo that has an 8-track with it, too! You haven't lived until you've heard War Pigs fade out and change to the next track, then fade back in. 17, huh? Consider yourself fortunate. We 'old folks' sunk thousands of dollars into record, then sunk thousand of dollars converting to cd. Oh, and welcome to Songfacts. I'm jr. The men's room in the third door down. The lock's broke, so you have to hold the door shut with your foot.
