Yeah, I'm closer to 40 than 14, but that doesn't mean I can't pretend to be in that band I always wanted to be in. And no, I can't play the guitar for real, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the tar out of this game. In fact, that's the whole POINT. The second version of this Playstation 2 diversion, called Guitar Hero as you can see here, just came out, but I'm too busy woodshedding on a borrowed version of the first one to care about that yet. At first, I sucked so thoroughly the game kicked me out of the song and the crowd booed. Yet now, I can successfully hit 80-96% of the notes on average of tunes ranging from Boston's "More Than A Feeling" to Audioslave's "Cochise." The cool thing is, songs you don't even like much and dismiss as crap, you get new respect for when you try to play them. You also learn how Nikki Sixx must have felt when his fingers and forearms ached from the amount of rockin' he was doing, but...

I admit, I HAD been drinking at the time of that post and its accompanying beautimous art, but starting a band IS an intermittent thought that I have. I mean, we wouldn't even have to play gigs, just get together and jam. It wouldn't even have to be a band so much as a gathering of people who want to play and sing.
I'm still thinking about it.
....I like your postings - (I scrolled down and read several.)
I still haven't mastered that paint Works thing, I can draw pretty good, but it's hard trying to move a mouse like a pen or a pencil for me. Maybe with practice ....
I'll definitely return to visit you again.
Hiya Hale and thanks for kind words and the return visit. I'm glad you got to see some of my Paint loveliness posted right up there on the screen.
Fusion is where it's at today, so I'd say there are many applications for the flute. Sounds like fun.
Just wanted to put myself out there. ;)
Head bangin' makes any band cooler, and that's a fact, Random.
