Nothing personal, but I cannot envision ever going to any sports event

Well, you have to understand...where I come from, baseball is a second religion. It's not exactly a sport - it's a game. It just happens that athletes play it. A triple play is a beautiful thing.

I honestly don't know the martial arts, to tell you the truth. I couldn't tell you the difference between kick-boxing, karate, etc. But it's also not in my background. We always swam. My brothers played water polo (talk about a violent sport).

Classical guitar? Well, it's better than a strum, that's for sure. Do you keep your pinky nail long?

No, I need all four fingers and the thumb (yes I use them all for some pieces) trimmed the same length -and neatly, as a nail catching on a string at the wrong moment simply throws the entire rhythem (sp?) of the piece.

'American Pie' is a favourite as well.

Anyways, I am interested in reading more on this thread, but duty calls and I must run.

I will probebly not be able to access a computer again until tomorrow at the earliest... perhaps. But I will look for your comments, and the others as well, so please comment freely on what I have said. I have a great interest in this.

Anyways: Take care and God Bless.
