I am terribly sorry for your loss Lisa, may your mother rest in peace and if you ever need to vent feel free to send me a private message or do it in the Coffeeshop, we're all here with and for you.

Hey Carl, had a quick go at some blues for you. It's very short, maybe something longer next time.

Condolences to Lisa and her family.

I just noticed this and thought I would memorialize it, as some find sequences of ones to be interesting and meaningful, although, I personally am not of such a mind.

Sending condolences and a hug, Lisa. In the complication of feelings I bet there's a relief that there is peace for her at last.

Thanks Grady!
I looked up what 11,111 could possibly mean, on a numerology website; this is what I found out:
- if you add all those ones together, you get the number 5;
Here is what the number 5 means, according to this website:

[IMG]The Number Five
The Number Five symbolizes change, rebellion, and freedom. People with the number five in their charts value freedom above all else, oftentimes rebelling against the status quo, going where no one has dared go before, and refusing to allow others to dictate any control over them. Number fives often have trouble with commitment and can be talented at many things, but specialized in none. Because of this lack of commitment, people with the number five in their charts can begin to feel overwhelmed, having started many projects but finishing none.[/IMG]

Does this not vaguely ring any bells for us coffeeshop people?......

Thanks, haven't really done any jazz/blues, would like to get into it. This was just to keep Carl quiet.

Think my upright is a bit bright for this, and the bass hasn't really come out. Wanna grand piano.

That was terrific Wes! I loved the saloon-ish licks and the groovy rhythm part! That was some good piano blues!

I could probably pull off a raspy voice if I had something to irritate my vocal chords first- maybe like some tequila......

Hey Carl, I'm doing fine; I'm actually in a furniture shopping mode myself!
Lots of end-of-summer sales going on, and I would like to find a new sectional sofa setup....and my kids want a flat screen TV...(We don't have one yet, I've been waiting for our old TVs to break down but they are too well made!)

Think Dan Pierce plays bass, now all we need to find is a drum player like this.

I get lots of "yelling" practice at my kids- at least thats how they say I sound when I'm asking them to pick up after themselves!
Hey Bill- do you play bass...or drums? Don't Harley Dudes play bass guitars?
