Re: Google+
Yeah, I used to have a pseudonym on my YT account, but I figured FB has my real name so whatever and just switched it.
I feel your pain Don.
Re: Tubes video
Yeah, those guys were freaks. "Talk to Ya Later" was one of my favorite songs from that era.
Interesting bit of trivia, the keyboard player, Vince Welnick, later became the keyboard player for the Grateful Dead. He was very talented as both a songwriter and performer. He wrote a couple of songs that the Grateful Dead performed which were never released on an album but became favorites of DeadHeads. He was a troubled soul. He ended up committing suicide in 2006, very sad.

Have I ever mentioned that I hate computers? I hate computers!
I just made a short video playing my new uke. My intention was to upload it to YT so that I could post it here. Sounds easy enough, right? Wrong.
Some time back I joined Google+ when folks here were looking for an alternative to the mini-jams. Now, Google+ is trying to change things on my computer, and trying to force me to change my YT username. They are insisting that I use my real name, rather than the name I signed up on YT with.
I have tried and tried to tell them no, but they won't quit. Now, I can't upload anything to YT unless I change my username. Bull$h!t!! I won't do it.
So, I have spent the past half hour trying to cancel my Google+ account. They tell me it will take several DAYS to cancel it. I don't believe them. The little icon of theirs is still on my screen.
Then I couldn't get my webcam software to shut down. Nothing I tried would close it. Finally I had to shut down my laptop, and then restart it.

That happened a long while back when somebody bought somebody. We all had to do it Don. I was Salukulady on YouTube, now I'm Sally. It's not just you, everyone had to change.

Yes to what Damon said, Pinch don't turn. Makes all the difference. Much better control.
LOL!! She'll never know....

I just went by what was in the upper right corner of her posts.
Mine has a 12th-fret join, as appears to be the standard for this model. Mine is also one of apparently quite a few that were built with a fret marker at the 9th instead of the 10th fret. Since most uke players, don't even know there *is* a 10th fret, it really isn't that big a deal.
My Bushman has the ninth fret marked. And I do go up there. If I'm making a jump up the neck and have to look, it throws me off sometimes. It doesn't matter if you don't watch the fret board.
I'll be there Mike. Don't panic.
Linky?

Hmm! That's really good advice and I'm glad you told me. I always tune to JUST over the note...like one tiny yellow sliver on a chromatic tuner...because I always found that as I played it tuned down. I'm guessing that's the wrong way to do it.

If that works for you, stick with it! What I meant is the direction you adjust the tuner in - always tune UP to the note instead of starting higher and tuning down. Where you stop is totally up to you, if you stop a little sharp, fine.
If you don't hear from me for several days, you'll know she figured it out....
So when should we start the search party?

GMTA Rich. I remember listening to the Tubes a lot at Webb.
There was no band that was more fun to see live than the Tubes. I made it to 5 of their shows. One time I gave a pair of tickets to my brother and his date was an ultra feminist. She was not amused especially when they did Sushi Girl.
Got a Mono M80 case for the Martin. WAY prefer it to the RB Continental I got for the Imua. More solid and a better fit while weighing about half as much. Headlock is smarter. The only places the RB bag excels are handle comfort and outside pocket capacity.
Martin came with a thinly padded gig bag. Not much protection there.

Last night we watched an adult bunny try to face down a young hawk on the ground (the hawk had made a grab for one of the baby bunnies). That was one bad ass bunny!

Friction tuners are an acquired taste. I'm used to them, but I'm still not a big fan. UPTs are awesome.
It's a shame about the nylon bag; my production model Eastman came with one of the nicest (wooden) hardshell cases I've seen. But not as nice as the pale blue fiberglass case I had Elderly send Dave Talsma to ship my 3K in...
