A good intro to Gilad Hekselman's jazz guitar, with two superb sidemen, Larry Grenadier (bass) and Marcus Gilmore (drums):

Sorry, I thought you mentioned the only Roland you knew of and I thought I pointed out another. 🤪

If any of you do not know the Excitable Boy album by Warren Zevon, you should. IMHO
Great album, brings to mind a verse from one of the other songs:

Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns, and money
The schiit has hit the fan :laughing: :wink:

I don't like cold.

I chanced a morning run today on the gulf. 57 degrees and almost no breeze was somewhat tolerable. Below that, no thanks.
It's not the temperature that's the problem. It's the "run". Stay inside, no problem. :sunglasses:

Ah man!!
Your a wuss!! LOL!

In Vermont it never got above 0 deg F for 2 Weeks in January!
I had 10 acres of land, an 800 ft long uphill driveway that I hand shoveled in 4 hours several times until my next door farmer loaned me his tractor with a plow!

Oh boy were those the days, if you sneezed the hairs in your nose broke!!

Oh, now in North Carolina...

I dont like cold anymore either...just finished a hot cup of Vanilla Almond Chamomile HOT tea!!

Guess were just getting old!!

:>)
Of course , we had it tough !

There are on sale, at $9.95 AU (~$6 USD) at the moment. I can buy the lot and farm them out to everyone on the forum if needed (with a moderate margin to cover my expertise and time). Will set up a paypal to take your money.

Shipping cost will be a bit much to everywhere else though, so I guess my quick money scheme won't fly this time.

Sounds quite similar to Atlanta, except that everyone there got their driver's license at the aforementioned Wal-Mart. The test is easy though: Pulse? Issue license. No pulse? Issue restricted license.

🤣
Ha! Here, women get their licence, and become "paper drivers" who never get in the driver's seat of a car until years later when they have kids. Then they buy a big family wagon and cause chaos on the roads. At least now all the new models come with anti-collision features. Unfortunately they don't come with anti-stupid measures, like warning people to MERGE AT THE SPEED OF THE TRAFFIC AND NOT STOP IN THE MERGING LANE when joining a large road, or highway, or even how to turn corners.

Oh! Before I forget. Under Texas law, a snow forecast requires you to go to HEB and buy up all the bottled water, bread, milk and eggs. I don’t make the rules.

Bread, milk, and eggs. It's French-toast-ageddon!

You silly Southerners!

My area is circled in red, and those numbers are Fahrenheit. It's gonna be a tad nipply in my corner of Canada. Did I mention that because of the Great Lakes it's an incredibly damp cold that laughs at and skewers however many heavy layers of down and wool you're wearing? Even better, when the wind blows from the NNW over the still-unfrozen Lakes Superior and Huron, the lake-effect snow squalls that result are like a conveyor belt dumping several feet of snow on some areas for days on end.

I'd challenge you to a pi**ing match but the stream would freeze instantly before you could write your name in the snow! 🥶

I’ near that -9F in SW NH (now). You mention wild Schiit that happens when it’s uber cold. My first startup SW company was bought by a company headquartered in - of all places - Clear Lake Iowa. Our first trip down there after acquisition was in early February. Landed in Minneapolis - balmy -15F… driving down I35 to get to IA, and it was -24F with wind blown blizzard. It was by now 10 at night, and wanted to get to Clear Lake while the Buffalo Wild Wings was still open (only eats place open that late other than Mickey D’s.Got pulled over just after entering Iowa…

person made me WALK to HIS Car and sit there while he gave me a ticket for 10 over. Said, “9 your fine, 10 your mine”. No grace or mercy that night. Cold AF

The next day, during meeting breaks, I went outside with a couple of guys (smokers) because we were in deep conversation. We all brought our hot black coffees…. One of the said “watch this”…. Threw his coffee up in the air… it hit the ground as brownish snow. that was at -20F.

F-that.
