Well, I hope you guys don't mind me taking over Space's job for a minute, but Craig, you made some awesome signatures today (11/07), and I think we would all like to think you for all of your hardwork for us. Here is a recap of his signatures













Thanks again Craig, for all of your hard work today and in the future

Cowboy Duane Black

 

 

WELL... I get to work and with my LCD screen vs my CRT at the house, I can see flaws in all the sigs... I will correct them when I get home. I never notice how dark my CRT is compared to the LCD at work. Colors are different too. CRT the colors are a lot more rich & dark, the LCD the colors look a little washed out.

But on Cowboys -- I will dress his tires, get rid of the grass under the car, and see about putting those fighting squirrels on his roof.
RJs -- I will fix the girl's hair, and eliminate the shadow under the car.
Rocks -- eliminate the shadow under the car, and the same for TAZ.

But it is a pleasure... I like to keep busy, and my A.D.D.(???) forces me to bounce away, 10-minutes reading a book, 15-minutes playing my guitar, 15-minutes cleaning the house, 10-20 minutes doing graphics, 15-minutes writting, and repeat. There are only a fewthings that hold my attention longer - Problem Solving/Trouble shooting/Failure Analysis (Corporate level to Floor Level - LOVE IT), Bass Fishing, and Detailing.

But I am glad you guys like them!

 

Thanks Craig.
There's no need to redo mine. Because of the black ground effects on my car, and the background pic being dark at the bottom anyway, you can't see the shadow under the car anyway. Ilove it!

 

Craig, a little off topic, but you mentioned playing your guitar. I myself play guitar, and did so in a band for 16 years. What kind of guitar(s) do you have?

I have a Martin D41, which I treated myself to when I quit playing in the band, but I also kept my FenderTelecaster for aold time sake. I also have a Fender Twin Reverb as the amp.

 

I mainly play an OvationS771. I play everything, of the modern bands I like 3 Doors Down, Nickelback, Staind, Velvent Revolver... But I play Country, Jazz, Rock, Metal, Alternative, Real Classical, a little bit of everthing.

I own a Marshall 2203 Concert Stack, Les Paul Custom, SG, Custom Strat, and a Carlos Santana Yamaha. But 99% of the time, I play my Ovation. I REALLY, REALLY, REALLYwant a 714CE Taylor!!!

 

taz, i didn't see anything wrong with that sig until Craig pointed it out.

 

Nice collection you have. I was always searching for that "Certain" sound when I was playing regularly, we played a lot of 60's rock and Country, and finally determined it came from a Fender Strat. The Tele didn't have the "Full" sounding mids that the Strat produces, but by the time I came to that determination, I wasn't going to invest the money for a new Strat.

The Les Paul is a real nice piece. I have only played on one for a short time, so didn't have time to really get used to the settings. It may also have given the sound I was looking for had I been using one regularly. I found them to be pretty heavy, especially if it's on your shoulder all night.

I did have a Guild Starfire (Semi-Acoustic) which gave a real mellow sound, but I sold it, along with an Ovation, to put together the money to buy the Martin. I do like the Taylor models. My son's girlfriend has a Taylor. She does a lot of Folk type stuff. Check out here website www.carolinewiles.com.

 

Wow you guys have some nice guitars. I have one I got in 1970 for Christmas. It's a Fender flat top (acoustic) guitar.

I took lessons at a music store but found I learned more by teaching myself. I played for years but somewhat lost interest. Life got in the way as I got older.

 

I love playing and writing... It helps me to stay balanced, calming anger, turning sadness into joy, laziness into energy, boredom into excitement. I start every session with three songs to loosen up and to wake me up, and three of my favorite songs to play back to back are... Tesla's "Love Song", Led Zeppelin's "Over the Hills and Far Away", and Lynard Skynard's "Free Bird" I like songs that start slow and then explode.
