All moved across the parking lot, now have to clean the old place, and am having the carpets at the new place cleaned this morning, because they smell like cat pee---- gross! (I'm NOT a cat person, in case you can't tell!)
To be honest, I am not really a cat person, either. The Cougar reference is actually from my alma mater. And the picture under my name? The ONLY cat I can truly handle: the infamous 'ugly cat', Milton. His owners say I am one of only 2 people he'll go to on his own volition. Go figure. :p
Not to mention, I'm horribly allergic to cats- the place was cleaned, and the carpets were vacuumed, but I'm still sneezing, runny nose, wheezing, jacked up on albuterol, which is counteracted by mass doses of benadryl....
STILL waiting for the damn carpet cleaners to get here....
You would like Milton....seriously! One of the owners, Libby, is a nurse, and she washes him fairly regularly. Husband has a 'thing' about cats/sneezing/draining from all drainable areas, and Milton does not set him off at ALL!
hmmm... I never met a cat I wasn't allergic to. I even had allergy shots for 5 years and it didn't help at all. I was told by the complex office that no one has lived in this apartment for 2 months, the carpets have been vacuumed twice, and I'm STILL reacting to it....
Like I said, husband can and will react, too. Still scratching head over non-reaction to Milton. Only thing we can think of is that owner washes him.
Cat actually 'tells me off' at times, as in 'where have you been?'
Hey guys,
Just figured I would stop in to say hello, before I head out. (I am taking my guitar to get some adjustments made today, so I can get that 50s style Doo Wop Twang!).
I'll be back on in about an hour or two with something to post somewhere(perhaps maybe even the answer to the case study.)
Make your own version of the Red Special; then you might have something.
The Red Special?
If by Red Special, you mean this little gem; then yes, I sure will.
Kayla(My Fiance') and I met because of this guitar. A friend of mine, who knew I was a huge 50s fan invited me to come play a few songs with him. We played "My True Story" from the Jive Five, "Play a Love Song" by Val Poliuto and the Jaguars, and of course Earth Angel; had it not been for this guitar; I would not have my son, lol.
I am already looking forward to getting him his first guitar, but that will be kind of hard seeing as he is 3 months old, lol.
History behind the Red Special: Made out of a fireplace mantel (I believe part mahogany, if memory is correct), and other odds and ends. One of a kind, and never truly duplicated.
I looked it up, when you asked; because I was unsure what it was. I didn't know that queen was responsible for such a guitar.
Mine is the Epiphone Dot, which was modeled after the Gibson ES-335TD(which was the guitar that originally recorded Earth Angel), customized with Gibson '57 Custom Pickups(created in 1958 by Stephen Love), which was later the guitar used by Chuck Berry himself in "Johnny B Goode".
If I could send an echo to the past, this would be the guitar I would do it with. Not a night goes by that I dont miss Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and Elvis Presley.
You and I will have to do a duet sometime Cougar! Amanda and Soldier can be our audience.
I'm pretty rusty on the strings. Not that hot on Holly, but Elvis is good. Lately I've been listening to B.B. King, and some Al Stewart (Year of the Cat fame). Guess you can say ecclectic tastes here.
Ah, well the Gibson ES445(The Next Edition) was named Lucille by B.B. King.
Decent story behind that name! Dang, he's still going at his age, too!
Good morning, everybody! It's Saturday....again. So wha'ts going on? Anything in particular? Nothing? Undecided?
