hi all.
i ran into this place while looking for backing tracks and im glad i did. hopefully i wont make a nuisance of myself and if i do you can blame spudman!
the track that google offered me featured a few fret.net players but i was tee totally blown away by spud.
anyway... judging by what ive seen thus far on this board it was well worth the time to register.
thx

Welcome.

We blame a lot of things on Spud and as for you being a nuisance, hell that's the best way of fitting in. Good learning and good times is the theme here.

So what are you playing?

i dont think either apply. i dont know what CDB is so i cant say for sure, but it has to do with work.

Uh oh. What did I do this time? :confused:

Might as well blame me for the Chinese loosing the gold medal in ping pong while you're at it guys.:whatever:

Thanks for the compliment Stoker. The guys around here never share their real feelings. I can tell you on the other hand are a man of great integrity so welcome to the forum.

That's sweet - I wonder if it will fit in my 86 Toyota 4x4 :rotflmao:

To answer your questions:

a) Stroker Ace (movie) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroker_Ace)

b) CDB = Charlie Daniels Band, who provided the theme song for above.

Welcome Strokerace! Spud let me know you would be coming on. Have fun!

[Spudman]

Welcome Strokerace! Spud let me know you would be coming on. Have fun!

I did? Thick smoke in your part of town by any chance? :poke: He googled us Buckwheat. That is the other guy that you are thinking about...the one that I actually know.

(sorry stoker I just had to give my bud a hard time about his aging mental capacity:D )

[Brian Krashpad]

Welcome!

Cool Gibbies.

And yes, it's Spud's fault I'm sure.

[beachhound]

Welcome form one of the other "new guys" on this forum.

[StrokerAce]

sorry i missed all this. i must have to set my account to get email notifications of new replies.

dont thank me for compliments spud... youve obviously worked very hard... and for that i thank YOU for a little more inspiration!

Nice. What make is that drum kit? Our drummer is looking for a set of 'lectronics...
the kit is a roland.. but beyond that im clueless. my roommate is the drummer. hes always saying "you hear that hi-hat?" or something like that and most of the time just out of kindness i say yes. is it wrong to block out everything but the guitar? if so... im workin on it.

That's sweet - I wonder if it will fit in my 86 Toyota 4x4 :rotflmao:
it will. even if its stubborn. i have a hammer for every situation. each one bigger than the last.

thanks for the links too. im 36 years old and have seen the movie but dont remember much about it. i do some online racing too and thought it would be a cool name. but i dont wear a chicken suit while driving. :D


anyway.. thanks again guys for the warm welcome and maybe spud can get us some more gold medals on the next go 'round.
