The Saturday 6-Pack

SATCHMO · 07-18-2009, 03:28 PM

1. Have you seen any films this past week? Which?
No

2. What is your religious affiliation, if any?
"I believe in nothing, everything is sacred. I believe in everything, nothing is sacred" - Tom Robbins

3. What are you listening to right now, music or otherwise?
The Black Seeds & Fat Freddy's Drop. They seem to be my new obsessions. Nothing but New Zealand bands from here on out.

4. Are the Beatles overrated?
Yes

5. Have you or will you go anywhere on vacation this summer?
I'll got to Virginia to see my daughter again this summer, but other than that no. I live on the ocean that's all the vacation I need.

6. Do you play any instruments?
I try to play just about everything I can get my hands on, but I have an obsession with pedal steel guitar (which I haven't had the opportunity to try, but I will) and piano especially The old Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer Electric pianos, Hohner Clavinet, and Hammond B3 organs. I have played guitar most of my life, but sadly I'm nowhere near as good as i should be considering the time and effort I've put into it, and I love to play bass as well.

1. Have you seen any films this past week? Which?
I watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon this afternoon for the first time in years
2. What is your religious affiliation, if any?
I'm not religious at all.
3. What are you listening to right now, music or otherwise?
The Gutter Twins. Some very good Alt. Rock.

Anything that achieves success with both fans and critics can't really be overrated, however they weren't the only band in the 60's that changed music.
5. Have you or will you go anywhere on vacation this summer?
Was in Germany last month.
6. Do you play any instruments?
I bought an acoustic guitar a few months back but have barely looked at it

What kind of guitar, Jack?

jackhammer · 07-18-2009, 04:25 PM

It's in the bedroom now and the missus is flat out asleep (as usual) so I can't get to it. Only cost £90 so nothing spectacular.

You should have said. I'd have let you have a decent Washburn I'm getting rid of for cheaper than that.

Our house has been vibrating to the strains of Geno Washington this last week.

Definitely not.

1. Have you seen any films this past week? Which?
Watched Rambo: First Blood yesterday, love it. Whats Eating Gilbert Grape is playing right now, and love it too.

2. What is your religious affiliation, if any?
Sounds a bit harsh but I think when we die we go in a state of unconciousness and rot and become dirt so other things can live. I just think religion is just something that has been created to answer questions that we have no way of knowing for sure

3. What are you listening to right now, music or otherwise?
No music right now, but the washer is making some noise.

4. Are the Beatles overrated?
Yeah

5. Have you or will you go anywhere on vacation this summer?
I camped out a a nearby Lake and watched the boats and swam. That was sorta my vacation for the summer.

6. Do you play any instruments?
I tinker around with the harmonica
