The guitar shaking was quite prominent at the concert the other night, although there was no explanation from John. Sometimes he did it long after the song ended, as if he forgot to do it when the song ended, but was compelled to do so anyway. Just an observation...

Agreed, Paula-Bryn; in fact, I think John may have confirmed his slight OCD tendencies to a few of us several years ago, in front of your world map . . . Thanks for the memories!

There may be some OCD, but who knows? At the recent folk fest that I went to, I observed other great guitar players doing it, however, it was while there was still sound to shake. All this shaking talk is reminding me of a joke, but I will not tell it as I am sure someone on the list will be offended.

(BTW, have you seen the mini cows for pets?). Greg, that is quite an effort you put into that site. I have never seen it. Since I don't even know how to spell gutar, it was probably something that I would never have known about. At the concert the other night, John pulled out his binder of songs and I wanted to go right up there and make him promise that he had made copies of everything in there. I heard that he once lost his music that was in a binder and couldn't remember a lot of it. OK. I have decided to tell my joke at the risk of being offensive, although some of you might find it a rather loose association to my previous posts. Three priests are going on a train trip to Pittsburg. One priest walks up to the ticket window and finds a buxom, female cashier in a low cut, tight blouse. He says, I would like 3 tickets to Titsburgh. He immediately realizes what he has said and leaves in and embarrassed rush. So, the second priest goes up to the window and says, I would like 3 tickets to Pittsburg and I would like my change in nipples and dimes. He turns several shades of red and walks away and asks the third priest to please get the tickets and warns him not to make the same mistakes as this is their last chance. The third priest walks up to the window and says, I would like to buy 3 tickets to Pittsburg and I would like my change in nickels and dimes. He then adds, Young lady, if you dont start dressing more appropriately, Saint Finger is going to shake his Peter at you. Ba-dump-bump!

Watch Cliff shake those notes out at the end. It's good stuff, even if not directly JG related. They are very good friends, however.
