Just have to share this with all of you.  It is from the book I am currently reading to review next month.  It answers the  forever asked question ... Why do I need to practice?  The book states:  playing the guitar well is what separates man from all the other apes!!!  Enough said ... excuse me I need to practice.

Are you calling me and APE?  

I have seen the Monkeys TV show and I can almost play their songs.  Does that count?

"Playing guitar is what separates us from the apes."

I love this!

Down in Battle Ground, north of Vancouver. I had kids that went to Eastern Washington, so I have spent much time in Spokane and environments but have never come across your neighborhood. Love your posts BTW. And your nickname?

Greg

@Brad Baugh,  Knowing your a horse person, in addition to a guitarist, I'll tell you I get to Moses Lake every couple years to judge a horse show. I don't think that is very far from Spokane.   It's an NRHA (National Reining Horse Assoc.) approved reining show and always a nice time.

Hi,

I have had computer problems, but I think I am up and going now.  

Gotto ... I know exactly where you live.  Bought my Bloodhound from a kennel in your neighborhood.  Spent a lot of time at Eastern Washington. I have an undergraduate degree and a couple graduate degrees from them.  Great place to learn.

Matonanjin ... by all means let me know if you get over to Moses Lake.  I would love to come to a show and meet you.  I judged a couple small shows and I believe the fair back in the 50 - 60s at ML.  We also wrestle them many times.  They have and had some great wrestlers!
