What took you so long?

I have 2 relic'd guitars. Both are "Teles". One was custom made by a local luthier with outstanding components and craftmanship. It's a properly aged olympic white and comes in at just over 7 pounds. The other is a Candy Apple Red, moderately aged, Wildwood spec'd, Fender Custom Shop '62 Tele...

That Rusty dude is one tough ol' bird. Of course, faith and prayer pretty powerful too.

In the People's republic of NY, you need to have a clear chain of ownership should you pass away. If not the state will relieve your estate of all handguns and bring them to the local smelting pot to cheer and eat popcorn while your beloved treasures fade into a pile of molten steel. My wife...

If someone cold calls you with the scam dujour you are morally obligated to provide them with the most outrageous, most bazaar reply as possible. This serves 2 purposes. It give the caller a very clear message that you're not interested in their scam and you get a cheap thrill to share with your...

very sad news. It's a credit to the bonding and companionship of the forum that we mourn and celebrate members who have passed despite never having had the honor of actually meeting them face to face. May God bless them both.

Cruse has had vastly varying parts in many flix. I think he's pretty much nailed them all. For whatever he lacks in stature he makes up for in raw talent and dedication. He's a fine actor who does most of his own stunts and gives his audiences his all. He's a prolific actor and a money making...

I enjoy wishing you a happy birthday every year and look forward to doing so for many more years, Rusty!

Back when my sons were 4 and 5 (1999), we went to the House of Guitars in Rochester for a meet and greet with Mangione. We got our kids new kazoos and Chuck asked if they would like join him in a song. He led them in a memorable instrumental rendition of "I've Been Working On The Railroad". It...

It's hard for me to judge the quality of an actor's acting when they spend most of the time spewing hatred or hypocrisy. Not a fan of De Niro, Clooney, Cryer....

I own a gold and stainless Chronomat Grand Totalizer with a blue face and gold subdials. It's a nice statement piece.

We beat the OP by a year and had the "Blizzard of '77". Everything was closed down for a week. I recall after the travel ban was lifted I was driving south on Transit Rd towards Buffalo and watched a plow driver smashing into a snow pile to get it off the side of the road. He got out of his...

...bring me a nice strong highball.

I guess I'm in the minority. As a Bills fan, I strongly disliked Brady for decades. As a TV commentator I kinda like the guy. He may not always articulate well and his comments are sometimes bazaar, but occasionally he makes some very valid and insightful points. His knowledge is vast on both...

So many comments to post. So many ways to end up in forum jail.
