Nah, hardly anyone would post.

I wonder if you would get any *good* responses to a banjo thread in the guitar forum, some of them may play banjo.

ya it wouldn't be very popular. i notice a lot of the guys in the guitar forums are mostly about metal...not a lot of banjo in metal.

Most the banjo owners here don't really play banjo. They're the guys who buy every instrument they see, and never play it.

ya i know people like that. im cheap enough that i would only buy something i would play all the time, except my ukelele, i bought that more as a souvenir from hawaii..but it is fun it play.

i really want a Sitar, but no where in my city has one i can play.
i also want a mandolin, just because a lot of the songs i write/play would sound good with mandolin in them.

Sitar takes a lot more dedication than other instruments. You usually [B]have[/B] [B]to[/B] be taught to learn anything. And usually the only places to learn are Indian temples.

i better ring up old Ravi. is he still kickin?

is anyone else here who plays an instrument extremely uptight about it being in tune? i can't stand when its out of tune just by a little bit. i think it might be more of an acoustic thing, because with distortion you don't notice as much.

hey badmoon whats the significance of Terrapin Station? i heard it mentioned in one of the Deads songs on Workingmans Dead, and then they also had the album. does it have any meaning?

Well, if you hadn't know "Terrapin" are a small type of turtle. In many cultures they are valued as the animal of God. And there is of course the myths that our universe is actually a Terrapin's shell.

interesting interesting. turtles are my favourite animals, i collect wood/stone carvings of them. i never knew terrapin and turtle had any connection though.

so are the Grateful Dead just fans of turtles...or are they trying to show deeper meanings with the whole universe/god thing?

Terrapin are very mythical creatures, they have many meanings.

Alot could be told through the song "Terrapin Station: Part 1". It's lyrically fantastic and explains tons.

Now, I'd give you the URL to The Annotated Grateful Dead Lyric page, but it's down right now. If you ever want to find it type in "Grateful Dead lyrics" in a Google search. There, you can browse lyrics to many Dead songs. But the special thing is, that they attempt to explain the signicance of each song. There you will find many answers about the meaning behind Terrapin.

awesome. thanks badmoon...i want a terrapin now.

so is the song Terrapin Station Pt 1 a good one to download?

i will do a search.

It's a very interesting song, and has numerous sections. It is also 16:00 long.

Fabulous song though.

:wave:Hi.


I have three turtles.:) They are right beside my computer.

I am now obsessed with Battle Field Vietnam/.

What in the hell does that have to do with classic rock?

rock did i tell you about the dream i had that included you in a brief section?...

i was outrunning a fleet of cops and helicopters because i tried racing a corvette, and as i was trying to outrun them...a big van with the license plate RocknotRoll turned in front of me, and showed me a secret cottage i could hide in. And the back of your van had a picture of your avatar all over it. when i got to the cottage my family was already there...weird dream.

i think i prefer the Deads more acoustic stuff. anybody else agree?

Did the cottage have padded walls?

Im more of a 70's man myself. Queen, The Who, Pink Floyd, etc.. WHat about Queen? have we talked about them?

[QUOTE=Badmoon]1977[/QUOTE]

the solos almost sound like dave gilmour. actually the whole song seems kinda Floydish.

[QUOTE=Creedence Clearwater]Did the cottage have padded walls?[/QUOTE]

nope it was a complete wreck inside though. and for some reason the world became angry at me, and threw eggs through the windows.

and yes appreciate_it, we have talked about Queen. Actually you may find them mentioned on this very page.

Brian May and his home made guitar, now thats cool.

/looks at a picture of red special

You look like Jesus. :confused:

[QUOTE=Badmoon]*David Gilmour is sounding like Jerry Garcia.[/QUOTE]

my mistake.

and Livewired...i asked if anyone knew anything about Poco earlier, how come you didn't speak up. are you keeping information from me? what song are you listening to?

edit- i will post a picture of me sometime, so you guys can decide whether i look like jesus...i've had mixed reviews.

*Is watching Bonnaroo 2003, on DVD* Ben Harper's on.

Creedence i really want to paint the Dylan picture in your avatar. I painted a Jim Morrison one (you know his famous picture) and it looks awesome. I think Dylan might have to be next.

what is Bonnaroo? I've heard about it alot..i always just imagine Bono as a kangaroo.
