    Default Lay off the G.A.S. and show us some A.S.S.

    Nothing to get one's attention like a snappy slogan....

    Having at long last made my own paltry contribution to the Fret, I can join the chorus of those exhorting us all to action. Here's my suggestion - forego the purchase of some small object of GASsy passion (like one of those inexpensive pedals you've been eyeing - c'mon, it can wait!) and turn it into some A.S.S - Administrator Solvency Support. Think about everything TheFret provides you - from Steppenwolf to Beowulf, from John Tesh to Gilgamesh, it's all here! (OK, so Beowulf and Tesh have not made an appearance yet as far as I know - but stranger things have happened, just wait!).

    Thanks to all of you guys who put this site together and keep it running (special kudos to Robert). And Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

    Thanks, Ted, we appreciate the support.
