[QUOTE=thickasabrick]FIFTY??!! did you pay for these cds? cuz that's quite a bit of moolah. the thing i hate about buying a lot of records, or cds in your case, at one time is that you never have time to listen to them all right away. you might listen to one, and like it, so you listen to it a couple more times...and then you try another and like it, and listen to it a few more times. after a while you realize you've only listened to about a half of them.

at least thats what happened to me. i have about 200 records i haven't listened to yet.[/QUOTE]

He got them for free somehow, he'd have to tell you the story. His landlord had 500 Cd's and offered to let him have some or something like that.

6 Doors, 1 George H, OCMS (bluegrass band), 6 Phish, 1 John Coltrane, 8 Arosmith...and about 40 more I dont feel like naming.

woah, sweet.

Awesome man. I think my copy of Happy Trails arrived, but my mom won't let me open the package because apparently there are other Cd's in there for me.

oh right he mentioned that yesterday i believe. lucky guy.

if there's any you don't like, you can give them away as presents to your dear friends in Classic Rock :)

Actully it was more like 80. :D

My dad's landlord found 700 cds in a empty appartment and sold them to him for 50$ and I got to go through them all last night.

looks like christmas came early for Schyma this year.

i had basketball practice this morning and it just about killed me.

does anyone know anything about the band Poco?

I still want to find someone who knows something about the paupers.

[QUOTE=RockAndRoll]I still want to find someone who knows something about the paupers.[/QUOTE]

I think you'll have to keep looking. I want to find someone else who has heard of Spirit.

I want to find someone who has heard of Roy Harper.

[QUOTE=Schyma000]I want to find someone who has heard of Roy Harper.[/QUOTE]

We've all heard of him, but not heard him.

This is now the "What kind of person you want for Christmas" thread.

I know :upset:

[QUOTE=lunch998]I think you'll have to keep looking. I want to find someone else who has heard of Spirit.[/QUOTE]
I know I will, Although I did see something on them in a book at my school library. I'm sure most people here have heard one of their members play though.

i've heard of Spirit..just cuz of the lame Stairway blah blah thing.

i've heard of Roy Harper.

never heard of Pauper...

so no Poco?

Yea Spirit comes up because of their song Taurus and it's resemblence to the intro to Stairway. I actually have not heard Taurus, I still need to get Spirit's first album.

Have any of you heard "American Prayer" by Jim M.?

heard? i think i've read some of it, unless im thinking of the wrong thing.

Badmoon do you ever wish there was a banjo forum?

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?
