Doug,

The sky is falling.

Say, I was wondering, does anybody know how to fix a broken record?

I'm copying Debby McClatchy's LP's onto CD for her, and there are a couple that get stuck at certain points and play the same thing over and over again.

I figured if I can solve the LP problem, maybe I could solve the problem of Shambles, too. He has repeated himself so often that I forget what exactly it is that he wants. All I hear is that damn skipping sound, over and over again. I've grown to hate the man who invented copy-paste. It's an "enabling factor" for people like Shambles, who never seem to have a new idea....

Put 2 nickles on the tone arm.

Oh, yes. That old MASH episode with Radar playing 'the old tone-arm cobra.

I used to give it a smack. Sometimes it would just sail right on off the record.

Putting weight on the tone arm only wears the record and needle faster, it may cause the needle to take the correct path.

With skill and practice you can place a finger near the tone arm such that when the needle skips, you can guide it along the correct path, I used to do it.


Well, Joe, I know that works for some stuck records, but I really can't help you any further....

Now, as for teaching a pig to sing....

Not THAT old saw: Don't ever try to teach a pig to sing because it's a waste of your time and it irritates the cat.

I never understood that expression.

When the boat is sinking - it may not be a new idea to start manning the punps and start bailing-out - but it would be a good idea.

It would not be very a good idea to ignore the suggestion that bailing-out was good idea - just because you had ignored it before.

Under these circumstances - it would not be such good idea to just carry-on arranging the deckchairs.

Man the pumps!

Your proposal has been noted, but it has been rejected because it imposes a cumbersome procedure and restriction upon our volunteers, a procedure which appears to be unnecessary.

There is something deeply offensive and nasty in someone predicting (or warning about) the demise of anything with a smile.

Having plumbed new depths of iniquity, Mr Nasty Troll might consider an apology.

I said might. Something tells me that he'll slither away from that one too.

"So when's your next concert brucie?"

I'll be in my grave before that happens, Robin. I haven't worked in music for over 20 years. Hope I'm still allowed to post here, though.
