how many of you guys play your guitar while you are talking on the cat? BOB

I try to do nothing while I play.
Iv'e been trying to broaden my fingerpicking paterns lately and try to consentrate on just that.
Sometimes I'll watch TV but not often when working on new stuff.

Actually - counting me it is 24.

I can't type and play at the same time - matter of fact I can barely sing and play at the same time Bob!

It's not unknown for me to play musical instruments while using the computer but I am more likely to do that when I know I have a long wait for something to happen (e.g. a long download in progress) and the chances of the instrument being a guitar are slim.

Sometimes I play the accordion while I'm Mudcatting. Feeding two of my three biggest addictions at the same time. What could be better than that?

I fart a lot while on the 'Cat. I fart a lot when I'm playing. I fart a lot generally. What can we learn from this?

That spaw has more interest in centering threads around himself and his farts than in the thread itself?

Could be that too Jon........But right now we seem really down on music threads and long on BS don't we? I don't start the things, as a matter of fact, I start damn few threads period.........But guess who hears the complaints when the ratio falls to BS?

Well spaw's found one instrument he can play while using a computer keyboard. Don't knock it - Joseph Pujol, the Petomane, made a career out of it, and achieved international fame.

But what I want is a footcontrolled scrolling machine - that way I could play the guitar while reading through long threads.

They must exist - has anyone come across them?

I'd guess he'll fart in anything - keys, purse, handbag, you name it, he'll fart in it. ;-)

Odd question though. If you're typing, by definition you're not posting. Paltalk's a different matter, but Mudcatting, you simply can't type and talk. Unless you type (or play) using your toes, I guess.

poor old spaw he must have the farting blues, maybe he can start a jug band and fart in different size jugs to make music. BOB

McGrath - one of the girls I used to work with had carpal tunnel so she used a FootMouse. You can see them here. Kinda pricey tho.

Mudcatting is reading as well as posting. In fact it's mostly reading. People who post to threads clearly without having read it are a pain.

That's why I want a foot-controlled scroller. Truly. It ought to be possible to jury-rig one.

mudcatting is enjoyment, and i don't try to make it a hassle, but i just love to play my guitar while i'm reading the posts, and then i'll put it down if i have something to say, which is usually nothing much that's interesting but i get a lot of practice typing on the keyboard, and trying to make friends with some great musicicns.
