Anybody know what's happened to Merle? We haven't heard from him in quite awhile. While I'm on the subject, whatever happened to James Ashley Mayer. He used to be a frequent poster?

Phil,

James is taking a bit of a break from flamenco due to his hand problem. He'll be back. I was thinking about Merle as well. Don't know.

Phil;

Last e-mail I have from Merle was November 11. He did not seem too happy about his flamenco guitar work. He seemed burnt out. Maybe we should say hello!

El Zurdo got me a wonderfutl guitar, but, I want him to tell you about it!

Talk to you later, take care, and Happy Holidays to all!

Merle;

Hello stranger!

With this crazy time and date used by the foro (not Pacific Standard Time!) which day does your birthday fall on? My fathers birthday is December 17th, which is today where I am!

Tom,
Go into 'My Profile' and select the proper time zone. Imagine me having to give computer advice to a programmer.

Phil;

Thank you. It is good that you know - I do not pretend to know everything about programming - only enough to get into trouble.

Merle,
I want to wish you a happy birthday. Would you care to share with us how many years the good people of New Mexico and Utah have had to put up with you?
