So was I: On the easter vacation in the alps. And surprisingly we had half a meter snow overnight!!. Two days later grass was green again.

So, today I'm back again, and I think I will post again.

Hey guys, I've been in a training class for my new gig these past couple of weeks and haven't had much spare time. The little that I've had has either been devoted to the kids or practicing.

As for Shania Twain, I can do better than a poster, I have a DVD of her concert in Chicago! Not only can she sing, but this lady has a very firm grasp on the concept that sex sells!

As for diddy-boppin' through the Alps with acoustics, I have a Pignose, and will be running off batteries!!! :DR :DR :DR

Here is a variety of Pigs noses. Enjoy. Funny, but they mostly have to do with alcohol.

Here is a pig nose and bass. I'm not sure if the pig nose is specifically for the bass or not.

Hey Rob, do they make Pignoses for Bass? :)

I'm not sure whether or not pig's noses like bass (they'll eat damn near anything else!), but no, there is no bass specific Pignose amp. So far mine has held up to the couple of times that I've plugged my bass into it, but I've kept the volume down when doing so.

Here, if it works, is a pic of Shania for Blogan.

after a few of those maribo's i would give the pig nose a try. Heck i tried duck tongue at this little restaurant in china town in nyc a couple of years ago. They brought me a plate of whole duck tongues. The worst part was you can't just pop them in your mouth and chew them up...they have a piece of cartilage down the center of the tongue so you have to kinda chew the meat off from around the cartilage. Not my favorite dining experience, but an adventure!

Cow tongue I can live with. If prepared right, it's like the poor man's corned beef. Smoked ham hocks, I'm down wit dat! But pig's noses and duck's tongues? Not down my gullet, and you can make book on that!

Now, if you want a real experience, go down to your local Oriental Market, pick up some dried shrimps (they come in a package like dried peppers), and some nouc mam (fermented fish) sauce. Serve this up with liberal amounts of '33' beer! You eat this, you beau coup dinky dau!!!

SuperSwede

Hey Spud, do a little quick research on what the casings of your average breakfast links or Italian sausage are made from. At least then you'll know what pig intestines taste like for a comparison!
