News about what’s going on with me these days.

Ray's News, Takamine Guitars

I play both Takamine Pro Series P1DC & GB-7C guitars and I bought them…

(I play both Takamine Pro Series P1DC or GB-7c and I bought them…)

at higher prices in the stores than I have been able to find on the internet, today.  I can’t believe that just a quick search can now turn up better prices than running all over NYC or Bangor, Maine or everywhere in between that I have bought my guitars in the past. (Many places, believe you me!)  I have a Takamine GB-7c in Germany and several in Maine. (At least one of which is playable.)  And I searched for a new GB7c in May 2013 from Maine to NYC and could not find one, so, I bought a “Takamine Pro Series 1 P1DC” for my return to Bermuda in June.  It has the same electronics as the GB-7c and sounds just about the same.  A very good substitute and it worked so well throughout last season that I plan to use it again.  Here is some more info about my guitars and pricing…  (Photos of my actual guitars are below.)

Weekly Specials at The Swizzle Inn

1 Comment

Man.  I wish I was at The Swizzle this week.  The boys in the kitchen are making their famous Spaghetti Bolognese!  I had this dish quite a bit last season.  Ground beef, vegetables, herbs and red wine simmered and served over spaghetti!  Wish I was there right NOW!!

Here are the rest of this week’s weekly specials at The Swizzle Inn in Bailey’s Bay, Bermuda:

The two chicken dishes are both great, too!  Get out to The Swizzle Inn sometime this week to try these dishes!  Let me know how it was.  I bet it will be great!

Translation challenges.

Hi all.  I had to remove the translated versions of the website.  The translations were just automatic computer translations and they were pretty funny if you have a sense of humor, or, pretty horrible if your sense of humor runs a bit more on the shallow side.

So.  For now, everyone will need to read the site in English.  Or run it through the google translator here:  http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=en&tl=de&u=http://www.raypasnen.com/wp/  –  this will lead you to the German translation but you can choose other languages from a drop-down menu.

I will try to find better solutions in the future…

Oh, and…  Hello to my friend, Ralf.  A new member of the site.
