I do wonder if he reads music. Even if he doesn't read the usual staves, maybe he reads harmonica tablature and guitar tab (a whole different animal, I do not read either, but I can read C clef!)....... If he doesn't read/write traditional notes, manuscript is still useful as lined paper! I took notes on it all thru college.

the lettering is going around the edge of the seat - is that right ? what if this was spaced out around it ? if need more to make it look right could spell out NESP
NESP loves Whomp - blues - soul - funk - classic rock - jazz - -
rats - think there is one more style he tosses in too - and don't think it is swamp even though according to the early discussons of the term's origins it is part of the derivitive of Whomp - -
anybody remember the whole list he rattles off ? ? is country in there ? ?
oh well - - can do our homework to make sure we have it right if anyone even likes the concept
is the other style Cajun perhaps? and swamp has been discussed, i'm sure.
I definitely remember swamp being mentioned - it was the first time I had heard that term used with music.
Hmmm, this was is the wrong size group so am guessing that it being a medium
is the only reason you passed it up
OK, are you ready for some real fun? This shirt is both an amazing paisley pattern and translucent, and by amazing, I mean it is clearly from the future of ugly. Others will be confounded by the layers of paisley and pectorals, while you ride through their imaginations of what lies below. Fugly says whoa, that's enough of the sleaze. He has a reputation for clean fun.

going back to look at some more - - what a hoot ! ! ! 
HI,
I'm back....miss me?
re: the stool....I like the idea of New England Soul Patrol written around the band of the leather seat. Big enough for everyone to see if they are close enough....
How about "Modern Whomp" or "Whomp" on the seat or....
"Property of Taylor Hicks" on the seat
Agree about the no button......don't want that seat to be uncomfortable
Will talk to leather guys tomorrow to see what's feasible

LOL the visual I'm getting...Deirdre and the Leather Guys

grimsby - how is the stool coming along? have you purchased one?
That's a pretty cool idea Liz...I could definitely see us exploring that possibility. Can we all be invited to the bus party???
OK - Stool topic here - What to say on the seat?!? There are two definite possibilities:
Around the edge and most visible - New England Soul Patrol
OR
The various musical styles that Taylor put into Modern Whomp - blues, jazz, swamp, etc
The seat itself if we do the musical styles could obviously say New England Soul Patrol.
If we put NESP around the edge of the seat - what would the top say? One suggestion was Property of Taylor Hicks. I suppose we could just put Modern Whomp or We heart Modern Whomp.
Suggestions - ideas????

"One fine ass sits on this stool"
I like New England Soul Patrol

Modern Whomp on seat
with styles of music around the edge, but anything will be cool
