Cool!

Should we call you Mr. Tull now?

[Rufus]

Thanks Slej!

Jethro Jack Russell will do.................

[Petographer]

Your photo with the guitar is awesome! The flute sounds similar to you howling but otherwise very well done. Great stuff dog!

[Toad]

Pleasant and soothing. Do you play all the instruments yourself - ala Mike Oldfield?

[Rufus]

Thank you guys. Mind ewe, it isnt all soothing!!!

Yes, I compose, play, engineer and record it all myself.

It isnt easy with paws though, sometimes.

[shuttertalk]

What the! Rufus Hendrix?

[Rufus]

Whack.........whack, Whack.........whack, Whack.........whack, Whack.........whack, Whack.........whack.

Sorry, drum practice. :/

[de_axeman]

Rufus "Howlin Wolf" ???

I haven't had a listen yet (I'm at work) but I'll have a listen tonight!

[de_axeman]

Just finished listening to your 'ditty' and I liked it very much. Especially the wind instrumental melodies. I especially liked the final movement - very Japanese. I thought I could hear a guitar in there somewhere, but I suspect it was a keyboard - am I right?

[Rufus]

Hmmmm,

Now, are you referrring to the bass, the acoustic or the bendy Strat?

Glad you liked it, but please listen again a bit louder..............

[de_axeman]

I was referring to the bendy Strat. The bass sounds really nice and full - your new Warwick, I presume?

[Rufus]

Ah!

That Warwick is a Washburn!

Hey, maybe I'll see if ST will let me post a dfferent ditty next month.

[Rufus]

I'm not keen on 13.

I'm a poet, and I dont knowit.

Whack, whack.

[shuttertalk]

Hey, maybe I'll see if ST will let me post a dfferent ditty next month.

Shouldn't be a problem

Just private msg me to let me know it's coming, just in case your email doesn't make it

[Rufus]

Thanks ST.

I'll look for a shorter, louder one next. :o

[Rufus]

Just to blow my own trumpet again, here is one of my many "compositions"

Rufus.....you seem to have put this piece in the thread twice!!

[EnglishBob]

Excellent Rufus, I really like it.

And if you need a file hosting you can always send it to me, I have a bunch of space and a lot of unused bandwidth to save Julian the bandwidth

[Rufus]

Well, that's very kind Bob, thank you!

[Don Schaeffer]

I had no idea! This is wonderful.

[Rufus]

I had no idea! This is wonderful.

--Don

It's very nice of you to say so, though I'm not quite sure about the "no idea" bit.

Clearly we disagree on many things, and I have been most aggressive toward you, but I hope you'll understand that life is by no means a bed of roses for me, nor, I suspect anyone here..............

This music describes me, (the writer), better than anything else. Understand that Rufus, is a character..... Not me. Like you, I have significant issues to deal with daily, and a whole load of woes......
Unlike you, I have no children and no living family.............
We arent that different....... Maybe that's why I savage you...................

[slejhamer]

Rufus.....you seem to have put this piece in the thread twice!!

One-trick dog.

[Rufus]

One-trick dog

You insult me sir! :o

I have whole albums, and something in the order of 200 recorded ditties. I just didnt want to push them. :/

Anyway, wait until you hear Zig!!!!! :o
