Hey Lightyear, at 14:40 of the clip I posted, they identify the instrument as a hurdy-gurdy.  Cool. Never seen one before!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurdy-gurdy

I would love to hear what they would do with the William Tell overture, the Ride of the Valkeyries, and some similar "greatest classical hits".

Well, learn something everyday!



And for the obsessed German barristers that are known to inhabit these environs - here's a RB clip too!



Just not the same though since he doesn't smash it in during a temper tantrum  ;D

Whatever the hell that is that she is cranking by hand and playing like a keyboard I want one! :o  Could this be the inspiration for the "Keytar"?

Here's another lovely mashup - my wife was reading the weekend section of the paper, yes, I know but I'm old and old habits die hard, that the Hillbenders are bring their bluegrass performance of Tommy to town soon - WTF ???

For your viewing pleasure.....

John (Redbird/Barkless Dog) Fertig built a bass with an dummy coil, Uwe has it now I do believe.   I'm sure the thread could be found easily enough.

In that regard why not just give them a number?  DB2, DB4 ....  Skip a few numbers along the way and 25 years from now there'll be someone on going batshit trying to find the missing model   ;)

It was pretty - let's leave it at that!!!  :mrgreen: Did turn me into a faithful Volvo customer though. I've been driving Volvos for a quarter of a century now.

Including the Chinese one's?  :rolleyes: ;)

Cool little gizmo - I will grant that.  Until they get it over the hump of wide acceptance it will be cost prohibitive for most folks.  They may be sitting on a gold mine though - if it works well enough I can see them being swallowed up by a major cell phone manufacturer and have the advanced, highly refined, version of this included on a standard smart phone in the future.

Good luck Doc!  We all know for sure that you're a fighter and that counts with what you're dealing with.  My prayers are with you.

The highlight of Saturday was buying a new Shark vacuum cleaner...and I think I'm a daring pioneer because the model is so new that there are no online reviews yet.



Tonight I may be a total daredevil and have a jalapeno with dinner.  :-[

Hell, go wild!  Drive all the way to Walmart with your left hand turn signal flashing! :rolleyes:

"He makes my butt want to take a dip of snuff."

 ;D The version I've heard all my life, mainly from my dearly departed dead uncle " ...makes my ass want to take a dip of snuff"

I had a manager that was a genuine Texas farm boy - one of his favorites "he/she/they're tighter than Dick's hatband"  another one I've heard a bunch is "he's tighter than a fat girls sock"

Or the Texas version, "Even a blind pig finds a truffle now and then."

AHEM!   :)  The full version as I've always heard is:  "Even a blind hog finds an acorn in the forest at night occasionally"  Not for a second that this makes any more sense  ???

Ma late lamented......

Forgot to add for Buzz... I often "joke" about my 1,000,000+ miles of driving over the 32+ years of being a road-based engineer, mostly round the south of England, and follow that comment with "people get less for murder..." :vader:


I hear you Kenny, I just ran a quick number on my mileage and 34 years at about 36,000 miles a year ( this is a very conservative estimate ) I racked up 1,224,000 miles without more than few minor fender benders :o  I seriously was starting to think my number was going to come up as I had really beat the statistics.  I finally was talked into a promotion this last July and now I drive a desk in my spare bedroom as I am now "virtual"  I do still have a company car, goodbye nasty ass Ford Transit Connect, hello anything else in the world, I really have to push myself to get my minimum 1000 monthly miles in. 

Kenny, just be careful out there!

Ken, not meaning to pry, but has your wife got a job lined up as well?  What about your kiddo - she going with you or staying behind?

I've got to say that I admire your bravery in all of this - me being the play it safe type and all :sad:
