Senior Citizens are cool
« on: January 20, 2005, 11:44:49 pm »

         
A college student at a recent USC football game challenged
a senior citizen sitting next to him, saying it was impossible for
their generation to understand his. "You grew up in a different world,"
the student said loud enough for the whole crowd to hear.  "Today we
have television, jet planes, space travel, man has walked on the moon,
our spaceships have visited Mars, we even have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed processing .. and uh.."

Taking advantage of a pause in the student's litany, the geezer said, "You're right.  We didn't have those things when we were young; so we invented them, you little twit!  What the hell are you doing for the next generation??"     

I love senior citizens...

My chops were not as fast...[but] I just leaned more on what was in my mind than what was in my chops.  I learned a long time ago that one note can go a long way if it's the right one, and it will probably whip the guy with twenty notes.

How about this?  The big one is one of mine (for size comparison), the double neck is for my grandson Andrew when he turns three....  ;D   :rofl: 

He lives in NC, so they'll get to hear him practice..
