    RIP Jeff Beck

    Those clips are classics Al.... and yes I had already seen them all (as any good Beck disciple has), but I never tire watching them all over again. I remember an anecdote about Jeff arriving to a show with traces of axle grease still on his hands, from working on one of his collection cars...

    RIP Jeff Beck

    Feels like I lost a brother, or father. Definitely the guitarist that had the most impact on me. He had a unique Master's take on any style he ever approached from Blues to jazz-rock that would make him instantly recognizable Everything he did was "different" as he created his own brand of play...

    Diabetic testing

    OK, let's try to clean this mess up a bit, because for some reason, it seems my post initiated a bitter attack which seems to not want to end. My wife is diabetic and insulin dependent. She is the one who enthusiastically brought the projected bill, capping insulin cost to $35 a month, to my...

    Diabetic testing

    Yep, tell folks who lost a friend or relative as result of having to chose between buying insulin and feeding their kids or paying the rent to stop badmouthing America. S'all good 'round here.

    Diabetic testing

    Be happy to. Again, if this forum was limited to a US membership only, not only would there be no problem with it, but the tip on getting cheaper supplies would probably even be appreciated by by others, but for those us from, or living in countries, where managing one's healthcare does not...

    Diabetic testing

    And if anyone would like to explain how a thread focused on healthcare cost in the US society on a forum comprised of an International membership (many from countries where health care is not defined as an "economic system") can be addressed without any political allusions, I'd love to hear...

    Diabetic testing

    Therein lies the difference between 3rd world and civilization: Someone's life depending on "market value". Warning: Slippery slope ahead.

    Diabetic testing

    Sometimes steps are taken to bring the US closer to the civilized world with respect to health care: https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/news/20220401/house-passes-bill-limit-cost-insulin-35-per-month#:~:text=April%201%2C%202022%20%E2%80%93%20The%20House,the%20bill%2C%20ABC%20News%20reported.

    I love foreign languages. I speak 2 of them in addition to my native one. Shame I haven't learned this one.

    Flatback vs archback D25 ?

    Played both, owned a flattie, and I agree with those who said they are 2 very different guitars. Did this help? :LOL: Now for my penny: If you're a strummer, you like projection, volume and sustain, go with the arch. If you're mostly picking into old folk / blues stuff, you'll love the flat...

    Who ya rooting for?

    I have a hard time deciding where you are Fro... I have a feeling you're the second from the left on bottom row though because for some reason, you don't strike me as trumpet guy?

    Nice Steve..... I'm seriously considering a timeline to the big "R" day myself! (12 to 24 months) 🍷 "Getting my life back" is a nice way to put it. 👍

    Time Has Passed Me By

    Right. It's tougher these days for a morbidly obese figure to dominate any particular sport (or pass time when referring to baseball) LMAO.
