Interesting capo, that. I figured you'd pick up on that! By the way, I really am trying to teach myself to play. And I actually did know what a capo was!

When I inquire of any new students if they play an instrument, I often hear that they play guitar. Translated, it means they have held one and been stymied by the frets, strings, and picking (as opposed to strumming). My purpose is to determine if there's any chance of duplicating the time we actually did have a student who played -- very well -- and for whom I'd write out chords so he could accompany the school at Mass. He had to purchase a capo but didn't know what it was, hence, my description.
"A capo is a very similar to a barrette, but instead of holding hair in place, it mashes the strings onto the fingerboard such that they are effectively shortened and the resultant pitches raised. Remember, folks... short, small, skinny stuff usually sounds higher than long, large, fat stuff. If you guys out there don't happen to know what a barrette is, go ask the girls at lunchtime." By this time, half the girls are flapping their barrettes and I'm grabbing 2 rubber bands to reiterate the point about short strings versus long ones.

I was actually impressed with his creativity of the bike he built. It surpasses Audi by a long stretch.

Angelhelp.... "short, small, skinny stuff usually sounds higher than long, large, fat stuff."
Thus the difference in pitch between dwarfs and giants. I guess that's why my voice is so deep.. the long large fat stuff...

Thywar... lol. It's my way of putting a science/music principle into terms these kids can digest, so it's not such a novelty when they actually hear about it in science class.

I've got a nice guitar (Thywar has a twin to it) and a Mel Bay "How to Play Guitar" book. But hey, I can play Love Me Tender and Down in the Valley which is more than I used ta could!!!

I was diggin on the 'stick bike' too Cajunlady but a good long look at the Audi bike and the technology and materials that were utilized...that is one Bad A** bicycle! Of course I have quite a bit of background with Carbon Fiber composites so I know what a feat it was to build that thing. Still doesn't diminish the skill it obviously took to build the stick bike, I doubt I could have done either with that much success. I just love stuff like this.

A haircut and a shave and some new threads...ok, but it looks to me like you could use a rinse-out on that water bottle
