Music Is Better Than Tylenol

This post goes out to all fellow fathers (and mothers!) - how many of you played guitar for your crying infant?  My wife and I had our first, a little girl, this January 18th of 2012.  I noticed quickly that she loved hearing me play and sing for her...a captive audience!  Recently she's started teething, and the little one is not appreciating her first "life lesson" of growing pains.  A prescribed dose of children's Tylenol goes a long way, but comforting her with music seems to go even better…See More

Bill Wray replied to mike lugo's discussion What kind of guitar to by first?
"Looks like you've received a lot of good info on purchasing your first guitar.  In regard to dimensions and specs, a lot of that will be foreign to you until you've put some time into playing, then you'll realize how certain…"

Bill Wray replied to robin623's discussion barre chords
"Fingerboard radius does affect the ease of a clean sounding chord when "Barred."  This does open up another can of subjective worms as I find a flatter radius to be actually easier when barring chords, especially when getting the 1st…"

"Don't mind you asking at all :)  I use D'Addario Chromes 10s - the extra lights I believe, but I always swap out the 10 for an 11.  I've yet to try any other kind of flats, but would like…"

Bill Wray replied to Michael S. Jackson's discussion Loar 309 Archtop in the group The Music Link Acoustic Instruments
"Yeah, I was doing the review thinking more about jazz, since that's what I'm usually listening to.  I never had a chance to hear how it would sound with roundwounds and a bit of overdrive since I strung it w/ flats immediately out of…"

Bill Wray commented on Richard Rambler's blog post Recording King
"I own a few Recording Kings - my personal favorite is the ROS-616 which is what my profile picture is.  Recording King guitars have gained popularity especially in the last few years, surprised no one has commented for you yet or responded to…"

Bill Wray commented on Michael S. Jackson's group The Music Link Acoustic Instruments
"I think they are definitely worth the money - my personal guitar is a LH-309, and I love it to death!  The Loar makes great quality guitars for the money - especially since when comparing the competition, depending on what model you are talking…"
