Rivervalleymgb Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 The Ouachitas are nice. Most people think of the Ozarks as the mountains in Arkansas. The Ouachitas start about 40 miles north of Hope. There is some good trout fishing in the tailwaters of Lake Greeson at Murfreesboro in the Little Missouri River. The Walleye fishing is great in northern Arkansas, also. The Ozarks are the oldest mountain range between Appalachia and the Rockies. The Ouachita mountains are much younger and extend into Oklahoma. Growing up in the foothills of the Ozarks was really nice. Lots of public land with the National Forests; Ozark, Ouachita, St. Francis. I always wanted to live back in the mountains as far as I could get, but now that I am older my main concerns are health care. In Arkansas health care sucks except for LR and NWA. Even living in Hope, we had to go to Texarkana (on the Texas side) for decent healthcare. And I was in my twenties then. About 20 years later I was back. Worked in Hope but lived in Prescott. SW Arkansas is a different culture than NW Arkansas or the River Valley. I'll stop the rambling and go back to the news and coffee. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 @Ceptorman if it is Starbux ... I can see it. Maybe they should just make a skull and crossbones in the foam ... good enough? Any of you folks play a musical instrument, besides the stereo? My father, being a professional musician and us being from Elkhart ... When you got out of school, you would have some music education ... like it or don't My dad left me with enough instruments to outfit a small marching band. I bang around on an electronic keyboard/piano. But have a stand up bass and lots of brass and woodwinds should I want to try. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Good Good Friday morning. Enjoying a cup of the end of McCafe Colombian, then back to 8 O’Clock whole beans. Later, it’s off to Trader Joe’s to buy a variety of cheese to give to my wife in her Easter basket. She gave up cheese for lent, so she can return to cheese consumption with variety. Or, I could go to Kroger for a box of Velveeta, or some Kraft singles, and be done with it. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play guitar, have a room full of 6 string acoustic and electric, amps, pedals, a bass.

WillyBob Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I feel sorry for my neighbors. some of my noise might resemble music in some form. If you squint and turn your head just right.... Just for my own entertainment. Wish I still had my ARP AXXE synth and tuck-n-roll Custom amp that thing was a blast. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Still have my bass and amp. Really need to play it more often instead of air bass guitar. Really like a standup bass for the old jazz and blues sound. Good Friday... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 my bass reminds me of WillieNelson's guitar. has some serious "soul". Had to glue the neck. I pluck it now and again. Used to have a Hohner Contessa fretless. Nice guitar. Gave it to a friend that had more talent and desire than me. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Bruce uses a fretless standard electric. Wish I had mastered bass at a tender age like Bruce or Leo Lyons... Garage band was a lot of fun though... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
