Man, the Partridge Family and the Cowsils get no love around here.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Because of a change in my "singing status", I find myself having to learn or at least refamiliarize myself with a large number of old Country songs. Not wanting to divide my time between modeling time and listening time,,,,,,,,I combine the two. I've found that I can learn a song and model at the same time. Then when it comes time to "get the song just right", I go over and work on that.and let the modeling part sit for a short while. I've found that it is easier to pick up the song after listening to it in a more passive mode. When I find myself singing along all the way through the song, that is when I put down the hobby knife and grab the microphone for a bit.

Geez, as for being a dinosaur, I listen and sing Country & Western to old vinyl LPs. We even have an old Steel Guitar player in our band.

But, for a guy named Rex, being a Dino is not that far a stretch, I guess.

I also drink Beer during both activities, sometimes Coffee. (I know what fish do in water, so I avoid that liquid, lol)

Hahaha. Funny man.

Don't forget, I know what McD's you eat at.

My singin' is one of the things that "hooked her". I just didn't do it in public back then.

Actually, I rarely eat at McDs. My son likes Burger King and I prefer to cook my own on the grill.

Lets see now, we got Fermis on guitar, Rex on vocals... Now we need a Bass and Drums and we're in business....

Modeling is strictly relaxation for me,but I prefer silence or quiet sports talk radio or a ballgame to any kind of music.As for drinking,well I only drink socially when I'm out or have people over,so no not during model building.

Does it count when I played drums for some months only when I was 15? Had to give it up, unfortunately. :P
