Hey all,
some of you may have noticed i haven't been on in a coons age. Its because i have ben travelling north (not at the gorge as planned, really nice sets) and i have now found a PC. Im currently in Bum-fuck alaska, also known as Valdez. Its raining, foggy, and smells like fishsticks. I'm sure once the bad weather clears the mountain scenery will be apreciated. I haven't touched a strat in a LONG time (a week exactly) but i did manage to get my hands on my uncles Mint condition ALL original 67 Gold Top Les paul, its a beauty!. That was a coupel days, and a couple hundred miles ago in White Horse. I checked out the Dawson City (Yukon) Music Festival. ALot of folk stuff, but a few interesting bands, alot from the Yukon as well which suprised me. It did't smell much better there either due to the mass amounts of hippies and...excuse me...natives. Luckily i have my acoustic guitar, and have actually been playing along with stadium arcadium. I doubted the album for a long time and never bought it but the day before i left i picked it up, and now i realize that it is good, and fun to play with. FInally i have a source for tabs on a few parts, but i have been training my ear to try and learn them on my own. Well i geuss i should go and do nothign in a motorhome for a couple more hours, but hey, im back for a few days!

Neat vacation. Good that you can bring your guitar. I'm flying to europe in about 3 weeks and I can't fit my acoustic on the plane.If idle hands are the devil's workshop, he must not be very productive.
