Oh crap!
That picture totally brought me back to Columbia! I haven't been there since 1991.
Thanks for the nostalgia pangs, poppy.

Anyone remember the Walnut Bowl Store?
Is it still there on I-70?

Well, Poppy, you got me craving some Shakespeare's now!
I was at Mizzou in the late 80's -- through 1991 and, as I believe I stated here before, saw UT on Halloween, 1989 -- pre-No Depression.
I miss Columbia.

I forgot.
I met srm, but that was a long time ago, when I played at the Lounge Ax a couple of times.
-
And then, the clip didn't air on TV!!!
Although I did find it online.
Go here:
www.checkplease.tv
and look for Uncle Bub's. That's me.

I've met:
LouieB
Wendy
Derek Phillips
and probably a few others that I didn't know were VCers when we met.

We had a giant, I'll be the midget:
That's me with my friend Dave, who plays (palyed?) drums in my band.
I am the opposite of foxy.
And did I mention that you'll be able to see me on TV in Chicago tonight?

What was the audition process like for Check Please? If accepted on the show do they give you any money for the meal or is the whole thing done on your dime?
The audition process started on the phone.
Then, they had a big group of us over to Adobo Grill in Ukranian Villiage (in their party room) for a cocktail party, where we mingled. They brought us in one-by-one to have an on-camera interview with the producer of the show, where we talked about our restaurant. As to whether or not they pick up the tab, I do not know. I assume that they do, but seeing as how I did not make the cut, I may never know.
At any rate, even the audition was fun.
But I'm bummed that I didn't make the show.

what year is that strat?
It's "Susan", my 1988 Squire Strat.
Back when the Squires were made in Japan and still a quality instrument.
Of course, it's hot-rodded out the wazoo:

Attention whore.
Oh, God yes.
-
Just to remind you that this is tonight if you wanna see what I look like actually talking and stuff.
And also to open myself to a bunch of ridicule from y'all.

Those images were more than a bit much.
Sorry.

Listening to this now.
Dear god, how I love this record.
It's one of those pieces of music that I can genuinely, sincerely, and with no exaggeration say has made my life a better, more beautiful place.
-
I am not a fan of such instruments. It's a cool song - I forgot about it.
I was of the same mind as you once.
Never listened to anything with synthisizers (sp?), strictly on principle. Then something clicked and now some of my favorite music is made with synths (Brian Eno, in particular).
But I can certainly understand where you're coming from.
Anyway, sorry for the hijack.

Is that the one with the drum machine? I don't do drum machines.
Yes it is.
And, you're missing out on a lot of great music... strictly on principle. Including that song.
The opening chord to "A Hard Day's Night"
in Someone Else's Song

Just last week, i bashed my guitar and... HOLY CRAP! THAT'S IT!!!
It's a simple one, so...
all open strings (from A to E) with 2nd fret held down on both B and E strings (making a D and G, respectively. So... A,D,G,D,G, low to high).
Best chord ever.
