coolness...so what did u get for ya B'day, heaps of computer stuff i bet, little wiz!

???

[Nick]

Thanks Spidergirl. I live in the bush anyway, so I can't get anywhere much without wheels. One more year, you get your Ps at 17 here, then I'll be into it.

What did I get? Computer gear? Nope don't like computers much, I only use them cause I need them to keep the site going and to get to music sites. I gave up last years christmas present and this birthday and this christmas to get a telecaster. I'm left-handed which makes it more expensive. Dad said he'd give me his strat if I'd learn to play right-handed, but I can't do it, I've been playing left-handed too long. I reckon he felt safe offering it to me, because I don't reckon he'd give it to me anyway, he bought it from Janis Ian (who's some old folk singer) and it's a bit special. So I'm getting my telecaster - wooohooo!!! and retiring my old Samick.

[Nick]

Sorry mavro - I got a bit carried away with it. A Fender Telecaster is an electric guitar.

[Broadie]

Don't worry, Nick - I also thought the world knew what a tele was (I have one myself, though haven't played in a band for many years). Look forward to downloading the song to hear you play.

As for you, Mike, how can you have indoctrinated Nick so well in the ways of Black & White, yet have him call Janis Ian "some old folk singer"? What next:"Jimi Hendrix could play a bit"? "Some bloke called Dylan had a bit of a way with words"?

[Mike]

Yes I know Broadie - guilty as charged. Sounds like our taste in music is pretty close.

The only reason that he remembers Janis Ian's name is because I have the the strat that she used on two of her more recent albums, 'Hunter' and 'Revenge' so that gives her some credibility in his eyes (the fact that she actually held a strat). I also have her original lyrics for 'Watercolors' (from 'Between the Lines') scrawled on a writing pad with cross-outs and alterations and they're framed and hang over the piano. So he knows her music and he knows that she was once very famous, I think 'Between the Lines' still holds the record for the most successful album by a female artist, but her music does nothing for him.

Unfortunately Nick's a guitar freak and the more metal the better. The band that he idolises has been around only a decade or so less than Janis Ian, but he knows all their stuff backwards - Metallica. The analogy with Hendrix doesn't hold though - he could probably play you most of his stuff, but I don't reckon he could name one Dylan track.

Nick-Happy b'day and keep up the good work, maybe you could learn some Fear Factory or Pennywise riffs? .

Downloaded the song. Not bad at all!
