One nice thing about the Firebug plugin for FireFox is that it'll not
only show the source code, but it brings up lots of other cool stuff,
like the associated style sheets. It shows the inheritance of the CSS,
as well as the files that things come from. It also shows the overrides for
the CSS. Sweet.
Which reminds me: Sweet guitar, too.

Interesting; I'll have to check that out. Thanks.
I often use other methods to look thru the slop.

Mighty fine looking axe, Notes. Enjoy it.
I'd be completely happy if I had just one more guitar.

Notes,
I may be wrong, but I think if you would resize or crop the last picture to a size that is less than 960
pixels the problem might disappear. By the way, I really like your new guitar. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Might have to change your moniker from Notes Norton to Nose Norton since you have this great ability to "nose" out some mighty nice looking instruments.:) Just kidding. CONGRATULATIONS!!

Thank you all for the nice compliments on my new guitar.
Yes, it's a honey!!!
It's a lot more fun to play than my older guitars. It's light on my shoulder, the action is low, it's my first guitar with a whammy bar, it's well balanced, and the pickup configuration gives me a wide sonic palette to choose from.
Plus it's built well. With the Graph Tech nut, Sperzel tuners, and innovative bridge it stays in tune well, even after jiggling the whammy bar.
After our only two days off this week (Mon and Tue) it's off to a country club for a gig this evening.
One-nighters are long gig days. By the time you schlep, set up, sound check, gig (hooray), tear down, schlep and go home, 10 hours can easily pass. But it's worth it to get to play music for a few hours.
Between my sax, wind synth, guitar, flute and voice onstage, and with my band-mate (also best friend and lover) up there with me, it's my second favorite thing to do in the whole world (it's a family forum so I can't say what my first favorite thing is).
Back on topic.
That guitar plays as good as it looks. And it offers something that neither Gibson, Fender or Ibanez can give me.
I'm delighted.

I urge caution. I don't pretend to really understand women, BUT when some 25 year old in new shiny makeup and a whammy bar starts talking to you the 'Fender' you had for all those years comes to someone's mind and .....never mind. LOL.

Herb Ellis was truly one of the greats!!! He will be missed but fortunately he left a legacy of recordings for us to enjoy.
And these cold snaps have got to go. We had one come through yesterday with rain. It was our outdoor gig at a marina, so the gig was canceled. Too bad, I didn't get to play my new guitar on the gig yesterday. But tonight, Saturday and Sunday are all indoors, Monday we have off, and then back to it again. Hopefully Thursday of next week will be nice.
I can't wait to go to "work" tonight. They don't call it playing music for nothing!!!

Should have declared it a Canada Day Party. Heck we have outdoor parties with live music all winter. Toughen up eh? 2 years ago Jeff Healy played the outdoor bandshell at New Year's and it alternated driving freezing rain and snow and there were thousands there skating, dancing and watching fire works.
The amazing part is poor Jeff knew he had cancer and never canceled a show.
We gotta have something to do.
They just predicted that after today's snow, and Sunday's snow, some parts might get up to 10 feet of snow next week. Seriously, that would be 'bad'.

Canada Day Party sounds great ;-)
Now try to convince the spoiled Floridians and the winter tourists and residents who come here for warm weather to sit in an uncovered patio in the rain.
Unfortunately, this is a "weather permitting" gig. Fortunately most of the time we get to play. The long rang weather forecast tells us next week will be sunny and mild.
Last night we played indoors, and the more I play this guitar and the more I get to know it, the more I like it.

OK, the waiting time is over so I decided to sell the mis-shipped guitar for $2399.75 under list price... That's $1,000.00 under the lowest advertised price I can find on the Internet. Pictures, details, price, free shipping limits, and severe GAS here: http://www.nortonmusic.com/parker_fly.htmlIf you know anybody who may be interested, please send them my way. Thanks, Notes OK, one teaser picture

I haven't played her much, since I want it to be still brand new.
And the Parkers don't have inlays on the neck because Ken thinks they weaken the neck (they do have fret markers on the top of the neck though).
Supposedly the neck joint with the carbon/glass exoskelton is so strong, you can put the guitar between two chairs and stand on it. That is something I am definitely not going to try.
BTW, my DragonFly does not have any inlays on the neck either, but I never use them anyway. I use the fret markers on the top of the neck. I play standing up, so I can't see the front of the fretboard anyway.
Yes, these things are very expensive, but so are high end Gibsons, and this guitar gives you many more sounds, a smoother neck, and a stronger body than any Gibson does. Plus the neck will not twist and warp and probably never need an adjustment.
I'm sure sooner or later, someone will buy it -- after all -- it's $1,000.00 less than the lowest advertised price on the Internet.
In the meantime, I'm keeping it in it's case in a safe space.
Too bad it didn't have strat-type pickups. I would have kept it if it did. I have a couple of dual pup guitars, and I was really after a super-strat (which I got with my DF).
Wish me luck!!!

Notes, That's a nice piece of wood & wires there. I was fumbling around the net the other day and found the Chapman Stick. It was a new thing to me but I'm sure you already know about this. Thought i'd pass on a link in case you are ready for a new piece of wood and strings sometime in the future. There's a video down the page that really shows what this thing can do in the right hands, actually left & right hands. http://www.stick.com/instruments/tunings/Don't get caught out in the cold on those open air nights, your fingers might get stuck to the strings.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
