So I tried it, using the subscription list you recommended and it totally expanded my computer tools and access to information. Very much appreciated. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the suggestions. They do sound interesting. Guess I could at least try to learn some new tunes. That's what Buster used to tell me to do is learn some new licks, or make some up. Glad you're doing those things, though. Sounds really neat and is a great way to share your considerable talents. Thanks again and take care, Bruce Hi Ray. Thank you for the suggestions.

Usually you only have to play 15 mins or so. Borders and Barnes and Nobles have had them around here. Your playing deserves to be heard, might get you out of the rut you seem to be in. It might even jump start your writing also. I've hooked up with a friend of mine and are playing at a local art gallery next month. For me, I'm trying to get over my nervousness of playing in front of people. We also did a video project for the new cancer center here in town. He did the video and I did the soundtrack for it. This has really got me excited about playing again. Just my thoughts. Take care, Ray Hi Bruce, have you ever thought about trying to find a open mic nite somewhere and going out and playing?
