    Anyone interested in serious study of classical, chromatic harmonica? There is an updated version of the Tommy Reilly Chromatic Harmonica Course available at www. douglastate.com/book.htm(or look for link on Harp-L forum in posts for June 3, 07) Both Tommy Reilly and Douglas Tate were world class (and world renown) classical harmonica experts.
  3. VPW wanted everything to be a "law"; the "law" of believing, the "law" of giving and receiving, the "law" of reversed efforts, etc., etc. Heck, I'm still trying to figure out where the scriptures guarantee mathmatical accuracy and scientific precision! I haven't found that one about fitting "like a hand in a glove" yet either. Where in the scriptures does it say we'll be able to understand difficult scriptures in light of ones that are clearly understandable? Why MUST there be a "law" of liberty that fits like yada, yada, yada.?
  4. Yep Lay Lady Lay-------From the Nashville Skyline album.( The album that featured a component of Dylan's voice that had never been heard before and fueled rumours he might have been killed in his big 'cycle crash.)

    A young man decides he would like to learn to play Bass Harmonica. Returning home from his first lesson, the father asks, "How did it go?" "Great", said the son, "I learned 'C'." After his second lesson the father inquires again. "Super", said the son, " I learned 'G'." After his third lesson, he does not return at all and finally shows up in the wee hours of the morning. The father is furious and screams,"Where have you been?" To which the son responds---------------" I had a gig." borrowed from Harp-L(a harmonica forum)

    If that doesn't answer the question, it can't be answered.

  10. His clothes are dirty But his hands are clean
  11. Sitting On Top Of the World I heard that one just this morning on the radio. It was done by a string band from the 1920s called "The Mississippi Sheiks". Their band's name was inspired by the Rudolph Valentino movie "The Sheik". I guess that one pre-dates both the blues AND bluegrass. (at least in the sense that we think of them)
  12. There are actually people who can "see" colors as various notes are played. I don't know very much about this other than that it exists and it is not something they force into fruition. As best I can tell, it must resemble that scene in "Fantasia" where the instruments play and colored images appear. It's not a random type of thing. In other words, C# will always produce the same color. (We'll say purple just as an example) and it's tonal value will fluctuate based on how sharp or flat it is produced. There are also people who have a type of perfect pitch that assigns minute values to slight variations. Whereas the average musician can tell there is a half step between two particular notes, a person with one type of perfect pitch can tell you which notes they are. A person with a third type of perfect pitch can further break this down into hundredths(known as "cents") They can tell you that a note is A#+ 37 cents. This has been verified with digital tuners. Personally, I have my days when I'm doing well to carry a tune in a tin bucket, regardless of said bucket's color.
  13. I still say "Rubber Soul" was their best effort. OOPS!!---I meant to post that on the "heresy" thread ;)

    If your date looks you in the eye and asks in earnest,"Is it true Paul McCartney had a band before Wings?". you may want to rethink the arrangement. Have fun while you can-----------Fate's an awful thing.
  15. Oakspear I just saw your response in post #87. It appears that I was a bit confused, also. Sorry for the misunderstanding. The sequence had me confused.( not hard to do, these days.)
  16. Why wait any longer for the world to begin? You can have your cake and eat it too. Why wait any longer for the one you love, When he's standing in front of you?
  17. There is some footage of David G. on the "Music Lover's" thread. He is pounding the skins for T.O.P.(Tower Of Power) Some guy named Carlos Sant@na stepped in and did some guitar licks, as well Kinda tasty for an unknown. ;)
  18. OK Now I see your point. Although, a lot of people from that generation did not consider remarriage an option. You are a lot closer to the actual situation than I am so it's time for me to quit yappin'. :)
  19. David Garibaldi-------Tower Of Power
  20. Nah. Not really all that wierd, Mr. B. It's a common practice for people to purchase 2 side by side plots and plan on being interred together. Now, when I was your age, the mere THOUGHT of purchasing a plot seemed *multi wierd*, regardless of who would be "next door" for eternity. JJ---"donations appreciated" Kinda reminds me of the old joke: "Why do they put fences around cemetaries?" "Because people are just dying to get in."

  22. AC silly-bus page 17, item # 1 Devils know the scriptures. Matthew 4:6; Mark 1:24; Matthew 8:29. ----------------------------------- AC silly-bus page 17, item #7 Devils do speak at times. Mark 5:9. Ergo-- It was, indeed, taught in formal setting, thus negating the question of whether or not it is urban legand that these things were taught.
  23. Lorna I have not read the book so my response is based only on your post. I do not see in this section that you quoted, where Eagle implies that Dr. Wierwille ever SAID(or wrote) that a christian could be born of the seed of the devil. I also do not see where he claimed Dr. Wierwille SAID( or wrote) people could be cast into the lake of fire. What am I missing here? Did I misinterpret your post?
  24. Honest to God! I don't make this stuff up! The Men's coordinator in Fellowlaborers( Ron A.) actually told us once during a FL meeting(50 people present), that the physical need to sleep could be overriden by speaking in tongues. We all fought like troopers not to break out in laughter because we were thoroughly exhausted at that point. The very next morning, 50 people sat cross-legged on a cold basement floor at 5:30 AM waiting in total silence for said wiseman to make an appearance. He never did show. He was too busy sawing logs. Afterwards, we all got our butts chewed for not starting without him. (I think it was WG who posted on this incident a while back.) You know you were in TWI if you can look back at that and laugh at yourself.
