    Yeah.
    But I had to do a double take too to get the point you were making.

    Here's the thing, I've been involved with all things internet since pretty much the late 80's, fresh out of college, one of the first things I noticed (learned) is in print, especially on the 'net, where there's zero face to face conversation and you can't read expressions and body language and so forth words alone very often get misinterpreted.

    This is what happens when you eliminate the human factor.

    Oh joy, your pal Nasher is rambling again.
    As I always say, brevity was never my forte.

        Not your fault.
        A lot of shit gets lost in translation on the internet.

Good one too. 25-6-4. The horns made that song man. All time best song. Incorporating it all. Today, its all computer garbage and copycat music.

                Gilmour was a genius.

                  OK so Gilmour is not Hendrix or Clapton Van Halen? Come on give me your list. I saw Pink Floyd do Dark Side, Animals, Wish You Were Here and The Wall.

                    I saw Pink Floyd.

                    4 times. Dark Side 1977, the next few Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall. David Gilmour was one of the best ever.

                      Lot of country artists going unnoticed.

                      Glen Campbell and Roy Clark could shred.

                              Hee Haw was the best. Saturday mornings getting up all hung over. Watching Roy Clark and Buck Owens and the Hee Haw gang. Those women with the fake titters and Grandpa Jones and Junior Samples was the funniest. Nobody could play guitar and the fiddle like Roy Clark.
