Try as you may, you know what the consequences of taking the bait are. You come on here and troll people, saying, "But I don't want to get the thread locked..." Yes, you do! LOL!!!

Gabriel wrote some good lyrics: At the top of the stairs, there's hundreds of people, Running around to all the doors. They try to find, find themselves an audience; their deductions need applause. The rich man stands in front of me, The poor man behind my back. They believe they can control the game, But the juggler holds another pack. I need someone to believe in, someone to trust. I need someone to believe in, someone to trust. I'd rather trust a countryman than a townman, You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can, He'll smile through his guard, Survival trains hard. I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands, He looks at you once, you know he understands, Don't need any shield, When you're out in the field. But down here, I'm so alone with my fear, With everything that I hear. And every single door, that I've walked through Brings me back here again, I've got to find my own way. The priest and the magician, Singing all the chants that they have ever heard; and they're all calling out my name, Even academics, searching printed word. My father to the left of me, My mother to the right, Like everyone else they're pointing But nowhere feels quite right. And I need someone to believe in, someone to trust. I need someone to believe in, someone to trust. I'd rather trust a man who doesn't shout what he's found, There's no need to sell if you're homeward bound. If I choose a side, He won't take me for a ride. Back inside This chamber of so many doors; I've nowhere, nowhere to hide. I'd give you all of my dreams, if you'd help me, Find a door That doesn't lead me back again Take me away.

I got a DIY rub you can try. It's the only one I use. 3 ingredients. 1 part Lowry's seasoned salt. 1 part Fajita Seasoning. 2 parts brown sugar.

You might be able to satisfy yourself by adding whatever you think might help to something "stock," like Kraft. Add things as desired, such as cayenne pepper, honey, vinegar, etc.

Why does this thread as of late remind me of Aunt Clara?

I understand, but there are people who are not aware that these arrangements exist. I was unaware until Travis pointed it out. I don't consider it a slight to Musk at all. It is in the national interest to allot money to development. It doesn't hurt one bit to contract with private companies, except only to the extent there is some kind of rigged profiteering - which seems to be too common these days. I've never heard of anything like that with Musk. Anyway, I hope he accomplishes everything he has set out to do. It's all the better for the rest of us.

I thought Travis (dwilawyer) revealed to us that Musk is getting a lot of NASA money.

Ha ha! I wasn't posting a question of whether Musk was still a valued member of society. I've just heard of more than one "kerfuffle" recently involving him. Maybe he's always been this way.

What's up with Elon Musk these days? He's spewing vitriol like he's lost his mind.

Most jazz musicians probably know this joke -- the one about the guy on Safari, who when travelling through the jungle hears some incredible drumming coming from a distance. The following conversation ensues with his local guide:Guy: Wow! That's amazing -- let's see if we find it!Guide: No! We must go now -- when drums stop, big trouble!Guy: But the drumming sounds amazing, I really want to check it outGuide: No -- we must go, when drums stop, big trouble!Guy: But this is the kind of thing I came here to experience! I really want to hear it!Guide: No! We must go before drums stop!Guy: But why? What happens when the drums stop?Guide: Bass solo!!

Another brilliant piece from the same album. Catch the tandem guitar and keyboard in the finale.

Here's one I put into the "masterpiece" category... a "must crank it up" tune. It gets totally cool at about 2:40. They are all great, but the bass line is just so awesome with that mix. He is a totally underrated bassist.

Yeah, that was pretty cool!

Hey, Chad. No big deal, but it would be cool if when starting a new topic, the available forums for posting are limited to the ones you choose in your dynamic view. If I don't read in the forum, I don't post there.

Have you ever heard of this? This short article on Binaural Hearing was very cool. It's a great way to give some directional separation to your tracks. Well done, it even simulates movement in space. Here is a good example. Be sure and listen through headphones.
