JM>Hey all!  Just finally got back into this echo after taking an

JM>I got caught up in the lure of the Internet (meaning I downloaded a

JM>Anyway, I won't  bore you with all the details, but I'm back (to the

I have to say, that one of the things not quite crystallized by this 
post is that, even though I bitched to myself briefly about no gate to 
the net from this forum, I saw that the postings on the various 
newsgroups on the web were not more than just exhalations for the 
minute, or just mood-determined excemental verbage.
When I have to download a qwick pack, put it into a reader, then for 
some reason I treat the whole thing with a bit more respect-(have you 
noticed this?) and to know that I'm not also going to get spammed by 
some commercial geek from out of this group, etc., then I know that 
there was wisdom behind Gilmore's decision not to screw with this.
Hats off to you, GG!
I'm sure that Vineburg can vouch for this opin, as he has spent 
considerable time on alt.guitar.dipwad.how.do.you.string.this, without 
overtime pay...and suffered some bot that ripped his header and dished 
out some unwanted spew into his mailbox...
There's something about this group which has more class...
No unwanted Gif's and jpg's etc.(sorry, Jim)
If memory serves you're the fellow that lives next door to Mr. Tumeni 
Notes, right?
I recently found a cache of Steve Morse midi files on a site in 
Australia that also had some Satriani...
The beauty of this is that you can use whatever software to slow down 
the piece and conquer the stuff and gradually bring it up to speed...
It's a great method, and what once was insurmountable is now just more 
repertoire!
So, Jim, if I learned all of Steve's tunes, would he have me in his 
band?-no harm in asking...hurry up and ask yer neighbour before ALL the 
arthritis sets in, K?
