I might bring a second guitar, a dirt cheap Xaviere, (laminated bubinga and solid cedar), that will surprise the he!! out of you when you play it.

Hey Jim - I'm planning on attending. Mia has a conflict currently and doesn't know if that can be worked out -- we'll see.

I also told Steven Ford (you'll recall him as the Mando/Gtr player at our August get-together). He says he'd be happy to drive across the alley to attend. What say you?

Looking forward to it!

[jimmybee]

Sure, love to see Steve again. If I remember correctly, and I do, he played every song I planned on doing right before me. This time I'm sitting on his right side (assuming clockwise rotation). I'll steal his songs!

Easy... My favorite guitar is a Strat...

The scream a Karate master makes when he or she breaks a brick, a board or a hand... is called a Katsu. That's not what they say, but rather, it's the description of the sound. It means 'the scream of my soul"

It just sort of popped into my head when I was trying to think up a screen name for a forum about 20 years ago. I was reading the book Zen Guitar and came to the chapter named Katsu. Thinking about the name I needed and how Katsu sounded like caster, the Strat part and katsu just fell together.

Some might say I haven't had another creative thought since then.

Unfortunately, over the years I've grown to play about 99% acoustic and almost no electric anymore. I've simply become too well known by that name and changing it to something like Martinkatsu or Taylorkatsu just sound right, does it?

[stratokatsu]

Oh, and please PM me your address so I can just plug it into my GPS. I looked for it in the saved addresses, but it's apparently been pushed out by the quantity in there.
