No, Jerry. He learned to imitate a Jazz pianist. Combine lots of focused practice with the technical manipulation possible in a movie studios, and voila . . . A performance is created.

I know all of them. The most glaring omission to me was Richard Thompson. He should be in the top 10 at least, especially since he is a master of both acoustic and electric guitar. My favorite guitarist is Jeff Beck, who they listed as #7, and to me he stands with Jimi Hendrix in pushing the boundaries of what an electric guitar can do.
Bless you for mentioning Richard who continues to reinvent his solos on his brilliant songs. And Jeff Beck was never given as much credit as he deserved. . . And that is saying a lot considering how highly he is ranked.

Should we simply get used to having freedom of speech restricted? The posts hurt nothing but a few people’s feelings. Those people can easily avoid them and should get past their ridiculous claims of moral superiority.
Graham, when you give in to the “thought police” we all lose. They are not being “woke” as some might claim, they are acting like fascists. Please do not make it easy on them by resigning. Let them suspend you as your final act of defiance. I thank you for postings that make me laugh.
Keep ‘em coming. I wonder if the member who called you out had to view each of your posts several times to be certain he is right. 😉
Most reviews by Amazon are requested before I have had a chance to try the product . . . So all I can comment on is packaging and shipping . . . A waste of time. When I pointed this out, my review was denied.

If I were you I would measure the current drawn from the battery when the car is off not running, doors closed, no lights. All cars draw some current but should not be exessive.
Thanks for the tip. The Subaru dealer specifically tells me they have done this.

FYI= there is a class action lawsuit forming about Subaru car batteries losing their charge (pre 2021 models). Many many owners are very unhappy about replacing their batteries annually.
I do not understand how replacing the battery solves anything. Even the newer, stronger replacement battery will run down over time; and I have been informed that my current battery, which is about three years old is still adequate.
To be honest, if I could get two years out of the battery without incident, I would probably accept that solution. Yearly replacement seems grossly excessive. It is a mystery to me. Why Subaru has not been able to get to the crux of the problem. I have never had this issue with any other vehicle I have driven over the past 60 years.
In fairness, the Subaru dealer has tried to be very helpful; and my previous experience with the company has been very positive.

If you have a bad alternator jump starting will not keep the car running for long even if you don't shut the engine down. I think possibly something in his car is draining the battery when the car isn't running.
Subaru has issued a letter that some of its models have issues with the battery draining. Before I was aware that there is a reported history of problems, the battery was dead three times over the last two years, and I assumed it was due to having left an interior light on, or severely cold weather. The dealer has checked it out and found nothing wrong. The tests indicate that the most recent battery is still good. They did reprogram the computer that supposedly has some control over the issue.
The only advice I’ve gotten is that I need to take the car out more often on longer trips. That might alleviate the problem except that my pattern of driving has not changed since I’ve had the car. There were no problems the first two or three years of ownership. The car is now six years old. It is true however, that I do not take the car out every day and sometimes those trips are each less than 30 minutes. The odometer reads less than 24,000 miles. After the last, and only service by the dealer, the fix lasted only one month.
I am planning on giving the vehicle to my grandson who will have his license in another month or so. I don’t want him to be burdened with the car suddenly not turning over; and I really cannot sell or trade the car without divulging the problem.
Back to the dealer tomorrow for more tests and then if necessary a letter to Subaru. Anyone have advice?
I have a unit made by Cobra. Fits easily in my hand, and works great. My Subaru battery mysteriously keeps losing its charge so I periodically have to jump start the car.
When did Yoda enter the conversation . . .
Oooh . . . Vigilante justice . . . definitely a step in the right direction. (sarcasm intended)

Whether or not the balloon was intentionally sent over the U.S., this episode has by default become a test to see how the U.S. would react. To this moment, the U.S. appears impotent and China appears domineering. I doubt that China or Russia would tolerate a U.S. balloon free-floating overhead. Joe Biden has expanded his open borders policy into the vertical dimension. Had this occurred under the previous administration, the media would be full of condemnation and derogatory claims of just who is in whose pocket. What an embarrassment.

We have responded. Blinken has cancelled talks. This isn't impotent. It is careful, diplomatic response to an incident that by all reports seems under control. Shooting should always be a last reaction. Can't take it back.
