Thanks for that info. Not to get OT but I knew Jake while working in Miramar. Great guy! We hung out a few times. My condolences to his wife and relatives.

You'll be missed, Red! Semper Fi!

Okay, that is officially awesome. Thanks for the post, David!

I remember being in a "just for fun" band several years ago, and we covered Yellow Submarine, bluegrass style (I was on 5-string). It's amazing what can be adapted with a little imagination.

Great tribute to John Glenn, even if not originally intended to be such.

Wow! Thanks Ghost, that is really cool.

Timid Toprope is the real music boss that should be mentioned. He pretty much makes me look like a n00b.

I don't know how I stumbled on that one, but the instant I heard it, I knew I should post it on this thread. I think John Glenn would have liked it.
