@jaybate-1.0 Bring them on, JB! They either offer great insight or a great laugh, and I like both!

Okā¦ so does MUA mean Major Under Achievers?? I honestly donāt knowā¦

@jayhawkbychoice spit it out!

@jaybate-1.0 Here we go again jb !! Jim Messina, Steven Stills, Richey Furay, & Neil Young. The latter of which couldnāt carry a tune in a bushel basket if his life depended on it. But Messina was one of the greatest guitar geniuses of the 60ās & 70ās. Way, way ahead or his time. Played a Telecaster with 4 finger picks & a thumb pick-like a flippin banjo player. That sucker played hotternā lilā sisters you know what. Finally got some well deserved recognition when teamed up with Kenny Loggins. One of the most fun live shows I ever remember. I think it was at Memorial Hall in KCK, but it couldāve been the old Freedom Palace (Playmore Ballroom) in KCMO. I bought my first Martin D 18 across the street form the Playmore from an elderly husband & wife who had a music store in their old 3 story frame house called Penniman Music. $300bucks for an acoustic axe back in 1969 was a helluva lotta doah, but it was worth every dime. I still have the contact pickup I used to mic it with. Martinās have the most prolific range from sweetest tenor sound for bluegrass or country, to the nastiest baritone & bass for blues. James Taylor played one on his old āSteamroller Bluesā from back in the late 60ās. Ring a bell? Depending on the strings you used, there was virtually no comparison (IMO) to other acoustics. Only one close was a Gibson Hummingbird. I prefered De Angelico flat wounds over Gibson & they were expensive & hard to get sometimes. I broke them right & left it seemed. If you ever visit the Ryman or CMHOF in Nashville, youāll see many of the legends Martinās on display. Man, itās amazing how you know how to take my ass back to the good & simple years jb, Itās just astonishing the buttons you push in my memory. Pert near like a free remedy for dimesia. What ?!

@globaljaybird
There are only two things I have ever wanted to āownā purely for the sake of their excellence due to their maker. One was a Lighthouse Bicycle by Tim Neenan of Santa Ynez, CA and I own one. The other was a Mossman Guitar by Stuart Mossman of Winfield, KS. I still havenāt got the Mossman. They became too precious after all the recognition they began to get and all the vapid collectors hustling them, to be wasted on my incompetent playing. But your recollection of Martin d bodies and Jim Messina and the great musicians of our youths has rekindled my old yearning for a Mossman. What the hell! Maybe I will look for one and play it badly without apology. We only go around once.

IHAāI hate abbreviations (@Crimsonorblue22 )

NMOTP----no more off topic posting
IWPWETFIWāI will post what ever the f$&@"?! I want
-
Trifectateāa three point shooter
-
The closest I came to a Mossman Guitar was a Mossman Guitar T-shirt I bought at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield. Around 1980. At the time the hottest group was named something like Dedannon-out of Ireland. I have their album somewhere. Now a red '66 corvette with white convertable top is high on my list.
-
@JayhawkRock78 Iād kinda like to own the Ark of the Covenant.
And have World peace. (not the dude)
Oh - a signed copy of the White Album would be nice too.
-
@jaybate-1.0 STA, stop the abbreviations
-
@bskeet is this it?
-
Here are a few acronyms frequently used on-line:
IMHO - In my humble opinion.
FWIW - For what is worth.
AFAIK - As far as I know,
BTW - By the way.
ROTFLMAO - Rolling of the floor laughing my a$$ off.
LOL- laughing out loud or Laughing on line.
TMI - too much information.
WTF - What the fu**.
SH - Sh** happens.
CYA -Cover Your Ass or See Ya.
OMG - Censored, never to be used in a sports forum.
BFF- Censored, never to be used in a sports forum.
-
@JayHawkFanToo OMG - you are no longer my BFF. Lol.
-
STFU - Shut The $#&* Up
-
WTF? you actually brought up OMG and BFF in one sentence despite been warned? ROTFLMAO!!!
-
@JRyman good to hear from you! How are you?
-
@JayHawkFanToo (snickerā¦) Iām a bit of a rebelā¦
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Had a good June and even a good 4th of July, but shortly after my headaches came back and no one knows what to do, 85 straight days with chronic head pain is what I call ridiculous. But I feel good physically and mentally just canāt do much due to the head pain.
Thanks for asking.
Not sure how much Iāll be on in the near future, but Iāll still check in from time to time and comment every now and then.
Definitely wonāt be reading any of those long rants though.
-
I hope things turn around for you and you get some relief.

@globaljaybird @jaybate-1.0 and others talking guitars. Here is my deceased friend Jimmy Foster playing one of his 7 string guitars. Jimmy was well known in New Orleans area and was authorized to sevice Martins.
-
@brooksmd Iāve seen it all on here!! Heās very good.
-
@bskeet MUA=Match Up Advantage
Wiggs was a great example of a MUA. He was always bigger and more skilled than whoever was guarding him.
Relefordās defense was a MUA. He could lock down almost anyone he guarded.
-
@jayhawkbychoice finally! You tortured us!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Sorry, I thought you guys knew and were just messing with me!
-
@jayhawkbychoice I wasnāt!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I canāt take credit for any of those abbreviations. I think most are a product of JB gifted mind!
-
@jayhawkbychoice I feel like a piece of the puzzle of life was just revealed to meā¦ Thank you! (adding to the buckets glossary)
@brooksmd Thanks much for the musical interlude. Awesome!
One more request-- someone mentioned LAS or something like thatā¦ I thought it was LABs (Long, Athletic, Bigs) but I canāt recallā¦ So please share that one if you remember it.
-
JRYMAN = absolute man (for handling chronic head pain)
-
JFoster makes a beautiful axe. Thx 4 sharing your pal with us. Is the 7th string paired with a string an octave apart, like on a 12 string, or is it itās own 7th string?
-
Shizz = filter circumventing form of vulgate for feces.
-
RCJHKU is the best of them all!

@bskeet Thanks so much for starting this list. Iāve been thinking about doing something similar for months! When youāre away and miss some critical definitions, itās hard to keep up. Iāve been struggling with MUA for a long time.
Acronyms and initialisms are the bane of my existence. I have a hard time remembering their meaning, especially when the same initials can mean different things in different settings. When an academic administrator references a Program Of Study using the initials POS I start to giggle because in my circle of friends that same initialism stands for Piece of Sh*t. Likewise, discussions of an Executive Director hire evoke memories of Bob Doleās dysfunctional erection. Within my small sphere of influence, the initialism for deoxyribonucleic acid is the only one that gets a pass.
But as long as terms are defined, and thereās an easy place to look them up, itās all good.

This thread reminds me of a great Allan Sherman song: Harvey and Sheila
Harvey and Sheila, Harvey and Sheila Harvey and Sheila, oh the day they met Harvey and Sheila, Harvey and Sheila Harvey and Sheila, no one will forget
Harveyās a CPA, he works for IBM He went to MIT and got his PhD Sheilaās a girl, I know, at B.B.D. & O. She works the PBX and makes out the checks
Then came one great day when Harvey took the elevator, Sheila got in two floors later Soon they both felt they were falling Everyone heard Sheila calling, āRing the bellā But they fell, Harvey and Sheila, fell in love
Harvey and Sheila, Harvey and Sheila Harvey and Sheila, chose a wedding ring Harvey and Sheila, Harvey and Sheila Harvey and Sheila, married in the spring
She shopped at A&P, he bought a used MG They sat and watched TV on their RCA Borrowed from HFC bought some AT&T And on election day, worked for JFK
Then they went and got a Charge-A-Plate from R.H. Macy Bought a layette, pink and lacey then they had twin baby girls Both with dimples, both with curls One named Bea, one named Kay, soon they joined the PTA
Harvey and Sheila, Harvey and Sheila Harvey and Sheila, moved to West L.A. Harvey and Sheila, Harvey and Sheila Harvey and Sheila, flew TWA
They bought a house one day, financed by FHA It had a swimming pool, full of H2O Traded their used MG for a new XKE Switched to the GOP, thatās the way things go
Oh, that Harvey, he was really smart he used his noodle Sheila bought a white French poodle Went to Europe with a visa Harveyās rich, they say that heās a VIP This could be only in the U.S.A.

@wissoxfan83 Brilliant!
-
@jaybate-1.0 Not being musically inclined Iāll pass your question to the guy who helped him in the shop. We bunch of old farts meet for coffee every morning and solve the worldās problems.
@jaybate-1.0 As soon as I posted this, Mr Leroy showed up and he said the 7th string was actually the A string from a bass and was the top string of the 7. He also says Jimmy didnāt read music.

@brooksmd I could read when a kid but no formal lessons after about 8th grade. Played clarinet, elect bass, & drums from bros & sis + public school. Always wanted to play lead guitar so with āA lot of help from my Friendsā I learned to sight read & play other instruments by ear. Some people were reluctant to use Martins as they there was not a truss rod in the neck of the originals made prior to the 60ās & much extra care is needed to protect them from warping. Temperature & humidity can easily damage & adversely effect any string instrument as most flat tops are made from mohagany, spruce & rosewood. When mine was not in use I never even left tension on the strings. If your friend was that distinguished & that accurate of a craftsman that he could service a Martin, he is one brilliant guy. Iāve known many fabulous musicians in my life, even a couple that could repair acoustic string instruments, but accurately repairing a Martin legitimately & definitively is an authentic master craft for certain. If you can find an original D-45 Dreadnot in mint condition for much less less than 10 grand, that is one exceptional find. Solid body electrics are easier for a lamebrain like I was to handle & haul around. Mine was a Gibson SG Special. While Iām mentioning that, someone burglarized one of my boysā place just least week & stole his.
@jaybate 1.0 There are many ways to tune additional strings-by individual note, fourths, octaves, etc. Dobros, slides, steels are generally tuned to chords such as a standard mouth harp (harmonica), but with any numerical combination, the possibilities are really infinite.
-
@bskeet TABBOMA-Take a big bite of my ass !! Definitely a small mind expressing itself.
-
@jaybate-1.0 Thank you!!! I have to give a lot of credit to my wife and kids and a little to my parents for the way they raised me. Tough.
-
@bskeet Hey! I mentioned the LAS a couple post back. I canāt really remember it exactly, but I think it was long and strong, or long and skinny; I canāt remember! lol
JB will have to clear that one up for you.
-
Allā¦ Iāve added Jaybateās latest acronym: DSC = Designated Shit-Canee (player who does not get developed and leaves)
-
MBMAP addedā¦ compliments of @jaybate-1.0
-
@bskeet oh no!!!
-
LAS = Long and Strong
-
It will grow on you.
You are going to be seeing a lot of it on the floor.
The big men are going to have to become like wing initiators, only from the high post. They are all going to have to run cuts to iron, and dribble drive it.
There is not future in back to the basket play for this group of bigs.
But they can really create an identity for themselves by becoming MBMAPs.
-
@jaybate-1.0 I just meant more initials.
-
I know.
