Are you in northeastern Pennsylvania, or are you from Northeast, Pennsylvania (which is actually in the northwestern corner of the state)?

Interesting mix of songs. Sounds like fun - enjoy.

zombywoof · January 10th, 2007, 07:52 PM

When I first saw the thread title I really tyhrough you were going to announce maybe not so happy news about you and your spouse. So I am a bit relieved.

Congrats.

Now if ya want a song that really gets the ladies a whoopin' and a hollerin' try:

I'll Drink Your Bath Water
or
Downhearted

Both by B.B. King.

Phil · January 10th, 2007, 08:00 PM

NEPA,

I can relate. I just got done with the function band I've been with for 15 years. Man, I feel free. Started learning all kinds of new tunes and loving it.
Have fun with your new found musical freedom.

Phil

Northeastern PA, "NEPA" as we call it. 2 Hours North of Philly - 2 Hours West of NYC.

BB KING...Noted..Thank you!

See your PM's

KRZ4TELE · January 11th, 2007, 05:08 PM

Hey, Great list!
What is your secret to learning the leads to EB&D, Red House, and the Aerosmith tunes so fast? Those songs would take me months to learn all those licks.

The secret is....

Spend 3 years convincing a friend who is 1000x better than you to finally join a trio with you, and then switch to bass until you find a bass player, so you can go back to Acoustic/rhythm guitar and then start taking lessons from him...

here's his guitar...American strat body which was snapped in half. He resurrected the body, put a Mighty Mite Lefty Strat neck on, and I told him I would buy screws for the jack plate, but that's a different story...

Twangmeister · January 11th, 2007, 07:46 PM

Technically speaking, that should be "well-heated woman." Good-heated woman is incorrect.

Oh yeah, and have fun with the newly expanded group!

Califiddler · January 11th, 2007, 08:51 PM

Gary -

Just as long as you're still playing Kilcoyne's on July 8th - that's when I'm coming to see you!

Chisled in stone...Shall I set up a tele for you out of the Cybertwin?

Califiddler · January 12th, 2007, 10:20 AM

Absolutely, brother - I'm not turning down that invitation! When it gets closer PM me a copy of your set list and I'm sure we can find a song or two on there.

She's a well-heated woman in love with an air-conditioned man
She loves him in spite of his coil and his high powered fan
With low condensation they'll climate control all they can
She's a well-heated woman in love with an air-conditioned man

You learnt all those songs in one night.. That's more songs than I can play from beginning to end after 4 years of playing.

Well...We all had a CD of everything for about a week to work on, then rehearsed and put them all together.

This is a big reason why I'm departing ways with the other group. This has NEVER happened in 8 years!
