  1. OK now you guys are making me decide to make use of the piano in the other room
  2. You're right. I'm a sax player, also didn't start playing til my mid 50s. When I do play now I rely too much on sheet music, can't improvise to save myself. It's probably because I was trying to play catch-up in a couple of community bands.
  3. It's a lost cause if she's not being encouraged. And it's a fine line between encouraging and nagging them to practice. Maybe she's past the Barbie Doll stage. In the end if it doesn't work out you can always sell the guitar. My 40 plus year old son took lessons for a while, then stopped in his later teens. He still picks it up once in a while. I didn't pick up the sax until my late 50s. Dental issues an COVID got in the way in recent years. I still pick them up occasionally, unfortunately there is not the plethora of community bands around her that I found in SE Michigan.
  4. Damn, I need to spend more time on scales
  5. East coast dock workers are on strike (they're less than a week into it). Too many people read Facebook and NextDoor conspiracies
  6. This season is finally starting to pick up steam the last couple of episodes. I was a bit disappointed early in the season.
  7. Get her lessons, at least to start with the basics. Then let her play to her hearts content. A few years ago I paid for piano lessons for my grandson. He may have been a bet young at the time but seemed interested. We had an older electric keyboard we bought before my wife decided she wanted a grand (another story) and we let them have it. The biggest problem, at least to me, was his parent(s) complained too much about the noise and discouraged him. Same thing happened when he decided he wanted to play sax. But I also think that was because one of his friends also wanted to play in the school band.
  8. And that stuff doesn't even come on ships, it's usually shipped by train.
  9. Since they were in Houston it's an Astros issue. The home team usually provides an equipped broadcast booth. More like an uplink problem. I'm a dinosaur, used to broadcast dial ups, I'm assuming there could be some sort of an internet style link as well these days.
  10. The Tigers are on a collision course to meet KC in the AL Championship series
  11. Didn't realize until today that he was doing the Spanish language broadcast play by play for the Tigers
  12. Wonder what is going thru JV's mind right now
  13. They did when I played APBA's Baseball for Windows. In our draft league we had imposed rest depending on innings pitched. I've been playing OOTP Go. Good game
  14. I'd put Skubal in if we needed one out. But then my APBA guys don't tire
  15. Who's left to close this thing out?
  16. Pence is like Romney and many other main line Republicans. Too loyal to party. They'll "write in someone else theoretically but won't vote for a Democrat.
  17. Baseball gods giveth and take it away. Or vice versa
  18. More from the filing
  19. Let's get it back. Hate being beat by paper cuts
  20. Audio is sounding like they're using 2 tin cans, or a bad phone line
