MeMeMe (getting the old Hobson's Choice in shape)

Some of you I hardly know at all, but you friended me and I thank you. But here's a thought: Why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she wears mismatched socks." I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this...especially those who rarely or never comment. Yes, even you people who I know really well.

Re: A thing or two to identify me

I mis-read that totally ... never mind.

On that idea though, Jimi's style really dosn't rely on the guitar being strung the way it was (right handed) but Dick would be a completly different player. Those massive chord bends he does would be outright impossible if he was pushing rather than pulling. The torque is much more in his favor the way he plays (and I have shook that hand, I was afraid for the bones in mine)

Are you into jazz? I met Slide Hampton years ago. He's right handed, but plays a left handed trombone. Why? Yes, we had to ask. When he was growing up, his family was poor. The second hand music shop in town only had a left handed trombone, so that's what he got, and he learned to play it.

Maybe that explains a few other musicians as well...
