Subject: RE: Int. Thumbpicking Guitar Festival
Lol now that is the spirit lol That reminds me of a story I read about a guy in the military that was trying out for the Seals. The instructions were to jump into a very large pool carrying 2 30 pound weights swim a while drop the weights surface for air then return to pick up the weights until they swam the whole length. This one guy walks up and dives in. Everyone kept waiting for him to surface but he never did. He walked on the bottom the whole length of the pool with the weights without surfacing for air. He got out of the pool and the Drill Sgt. jumped him for showing off. The guy told him that he was not meaning to show off he just didn't know how to swim lol. The Sgt told him "Hell boy I can teach you to swim. I cant teach to not give up." lol
