Dammit!
I had almost recovered from the LAST one.
Do you have to look like that to feel twangy?
And why would you want to do either?

Thomas~Just let yourself go and the twang will come.

Vera~Well, this guy died last November, at age 76, so I don't think he's still twanging, on this earth at least.

Logo~This is really annoying you, I can tell. All will be back to normal, soon.

Explanation: This is the man who invented the power chord. He is Link Wray--the missing link--the hillbilly wolf. Kind of a scuzzy looking dude, I know--a bit creepy. But I play guitar, so I see past his ugliness.
Link Wray was most famous for instrumentals, such as "Rumble", which is instantly recognizable by anyone not living under a rock for the past 50 years. He also was covered by Motorhead, "Ace of Spades". His guitar tone was real twangy.

You see, last night I got home, wanted to plug my Strat into my home brewed '59 Fender Deluxe style amp, and twang all dimed out. Of course, 11:00pm just isn't a good time to wake the neighbors with TWANG, TWANG, TWAAAAANG! Bomp, bomp, de-bomp. TWANG, TWANG, TWAAAAANG! So, I had to express my twang in a different manner. Sorry for exposing you guys to the "ugly".

Ahhhh, you should audioblog a piece of him playing, cuz the dude is fricking ugly, but I am all for some good guitar.

Logo, I'll have to learn about audio blogging first. I'm a little bit behind the times *blush*. Quentin Tarintino uses this guy's stuff heavily, in his movies.

Grunt, audioblog is a total breeze.
You add it to your account on your dashboard page and then call it in, baybay.

P.S. I was not THAT annoyed, it is just alot of ugly for one man to be.
You'd feel sorry for him but he seems to be enjoying it so much.

I know, Logo. I'm just teasing.

I'll work on audio blogging probably this weekend. Joy!
