Very nice!!!! How long have you been playing?

A bit of exaggerating, but true nonetheless. I suppose there are some who begin late in life and expect to make it big on the world stage. If success is defined as "playing a whole slew of tunes in...

What am I missing here? Where in the OP or article does it imply anything besides learning to play the instrument to the point of making music? I see nowhere in the article or OP that mentions...

A few years ago I bought a Christmas cd "Go Tell It on a Mountain" by The Blind Boys of Alabama (they did 'Amazing Grace' like to sound like 'House of the Rising Sun'--I'm a fan of theirs) and forgot...

There are 2 that stick out for me as favorites. The 1st is from my childhood Johnny Cash "The Christmas Spirit". My brothers and I would put up quite a stink whenever my dad put it on and we...

I must be living a simple life (actually--I KNOW I am--by choice) as I've never heard of this before. Is it similar to handing out 3D glasses at the movies? Do the plugs actually enhance the...
