    Welcome back 6S9L!
    I hope you had a good time, and that your Honda was nice to you despite the fact that you left it in the cold for 3 weeks

    Awesome. Playing like a mad fool. My Custom Shop '69's are on the way for my Classic 60's Strat, so I'm nearly giddy with excitement. Hey, drop me an e-mail when you have time.

    Nelskie You are going to love those 69's .. might just be the best of the cs windings , i love em' ,beautifully voiced and soooo glassy ... I had the opportunity to sit in with the house band at the resort what a blast they were all islanders and smokin hot players , we knew lotsa tunes in common but mostly we just jammed ,, ever try to play johnny b goode with a ragae feel , too much especially when you've been quaffing down copius amounts of red stripe and rum all day and burnt to a crisp from the sun..i love the islanders total acceptance of what ever life brings their way ...EVERY LITTLE THING GONNA BE AH RIH.... i bought an amp on ebay for one of the kids that worked at the resort, he lost his mind , got it while i was still there ( less time in purgatory for me ) and i made a friend for life ..... winter sucks ...6S9L

    We had lots of snow here as well. I am really sick and tired of it!
    Would be awesome even with one week in the sun! Only sunburn you get here right now is that coming from the computer screen

    69SL - Loved your 1:11 PM post. I extend my warmest "back to reality" welcome to you! Did'ja conjure a *new* reggae version of "Dancin' on the Head of a Pin" while you were down there??!! FYI - It's the runaway hit of the winter w/ me and my gang down here in Fargo! No kiddin'!

    Matt - We have about 2' of standing snow-pack here in my home town. How about I pack some of it up for you, and ship it to the UK?

    Welcome back 6s9l, where did you go for the heat?

    Lots of snow in Alberta too, but I hear Nova Scotia got it a lot worse.

    6s9l, yes I came back from Sweden on Feb 25th. Read my rant about my horrible return trip in the Open Mic forum... I had a good stay with my dad and it was priceless to have him meet our 2.5 year old daughter.
