For the most part, I don't give a rat's *** about the Olympics, except for some individual sports. I played baseball in HS, and was a credible 2nd B/Shortstop player. I excelled in X-Country, X-country skiing, Alpine events, etc, and was pretty put-out that we could not have put together a Nordic bialthalon team, since I loved shooting and had good breath control when skiing. I'm glad that Michael Phelps is doing well, but I can't manage to spare the time to watch all the coverage to catch the races.LowlyPion said:Are you saying that you don't have a station that pulls in the Olympics?
Lawn Darts isn't an Olympic sport? It must be the only one. Seriously, they have watered down the events by adding everything under the sun to the point that it has become a bit of a farce.LowlyPion said:Girls in bikini's capturing the true spirit of the Olympics by cavorting ... I mean competing nearly nude at beach volleyball?
It's not like it's Lawn Darts.
Darn! Scorpa, with your love of bikes and blues, are you sure we're not related? I worked my way through college providing summer-vacation coverage in wood-products mills, and playing frat parties all through the school year, and buying and selling guitars and amps from other college kids. I scrambled for money every year so I could stay in school. I have had to let gems slip through my fingers, like a '59 Strat, a '70 Fretless Wonder Les Paul, and many, many others. No matter - at the time, I needed the money and did not have the foresight to save the real winners, nor could I have afforded to.scorpa said:Oh I wish I could watch that! Clapton is beyond amazing. Shame I don't get that channel.
Don't be sorry. It's a short-lived thread at best, but I hope that it would alert some people to Clapton's homage to Robert Johnson. I have tried to cabbage onto everything that Johnson recorded, though the record is thin. Clapton is one of the '60's English blues aficionados that re-popularized blues with US kids and fired a resurgence in the interest and appreciation of the blues. One of my best musical buddies owns a music store about 30 min from here. His name is Doug Wainoris and he is the lead guitarist for the Blue Flames. His favorite guitar is an old Epiphone with mini-humbuckers and he has an incredible ear. His band is the band on Pinetop Perkins' live CD "Live Top". It's killer. Chicago blues being played out in Maine.Evo said:Sorry turbo for derailing your thread on someone that is an inspirational musician.

scorpa said:It figures that the only person I know who shares my interests in bikes and good music lives so darn far away. I'm slowly building up my collection of blues, so any suggestions are always welcome. Some that I really like right now are the ones that BB King and Eric Clapton did together, I think they were off of BBs Riding With the King album.
