I made more progress with the 'Less Paul.'
I attached the frets to the fretboard, which is a pretty major step forward.I had to do a little work with the fretwire beforehand, but I didn't take pictures and I won't bore you with the details. I needed to narrow the tang of the fretwire.
That's not a euphemism.
Here's the stuff, all laid out:Read more
I watched this on VOD with my nephews in Florida and laughed myself silly.
I bought the DVD and watched it with my aunt in Connecticut. I laughed even more.
People either love Will Ferrell or hate him.
I hatedhim on SNL.
But I started liking him in movies.
His supporting roles in The Ladies Man, in Zoolander, or Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, ...Read more
Peachey blogged about this movie in an inquiring fashion, i.e. she hadn't seen it and wanted to know more about it. I told her I had the DVD on my mantle, and I'd watch it and tell her about it.
What Peachey wants, Peachey gets. I missed Tokyo Gore Police last fall at the Independent Asian Film Festival (or whatever it was called). It was one of at least three gore/zombie films. Unfortunately I saw none of them.
But I found Tokyo Gore Police on DVD in the US, and I bought it.
Tonight I watched...Read more
The remake of
Dawn of the Dead was a film I had studiously avoided for some time.
One reason was because it was originally released while I was married, and the Mrs. didn't care for those kinds of films. Fair enough.
The other reason was that the original is one of those movies that helps define my teen years, and its a classic:Read more
I made a lot of progress on my new guitar (guitarette?) this weekend.I sanded the face of the guitar up to 320 grit, which is not real fine, but it made the face very smooth:
I needed to do this because I was ready to start staining the top, and I started:
Yuck! ...Read more
No, this is not a commercial for TJ Maxx...My newest project was going to need some special consideration for certain of its needs.
I needed one of these:
Why, you ask?
I'll tell you later.
The two biggest (or most difficult, I should say) issues/needs were the strap and the case.
After all, one of my major motivations was to build a guitar I could carry with me. Hence...Read more
I saw this last night with approximately 50% of the Movie Night gang. We went to the Dynasty, figuring it was going to be a film that required a little talking back to.
To be honest, I expected to hatethis movie.
Partially because it seemed like it would be yet another annoying waste of time like so many recent 'romantic' 'comedies,' and mostly because I find W...Read more
As easy as it would be to go off on a tear about MJ, I realize that for a lot of people (including people here), he was an icon. Out of respect for them, I will not speak ill of the dead.
Instead, I share with you my favorite story about Michael Jackson.
During the making of Thriller, Michael and Quincy Jones thought it would be good to have a guitar solo on "Beat It." The rhythm guitars were recorded by Steve Lukather of Toto, who at the time was L.A.'s top studio guitarist. But they se...Read more
Let me just say now that it's getting harder and harder to come up with catchy 'Less' titles for these entries...Wednesday, June 24.
Today I achieved some pretty remarkable successes at things I had never done before.
I needed to find a way to get the toggle switch and volume knob to sit inside the guitar at angles. Usually, they are done vertically, or the big companies like Gibson have the machinery to rout these things with computers, etc.
Well, as we know, I ain't got it like that.All I had was...Read more
Saw this photo, the caption just came to me:

If we don't support the movies that deserve it, we get the movies that we deserve.
