hey everyone, i'm sure someone on this list is bound to know the answer to
this one. a few years back, a friend of mine showed me an article in a
guitar magazine that he had about a guy who played electric violin. this
guy made his own custom violins, then played what they called "rock
violin". he then proceeded to play for me a disk of his, and man could
this guy shred!! i've been trying to think of this guys name for quite a
while now. since i'm not in contact with this friend anymore, i figured
someone here would most likely know. i think the last name may have been
"woods", or something like that, but i'm not sure. any ideas??

You're thinking of Tiger Woods, the golf player. As far as I know he
doesn't play violin; I don't even think he likes listening to Rock
music.

Congratulations for not calling the readers of Ytsejam your best "market," which is right about when things started going south for Mike Bahr. :)
Hmm, t-shirt ideas: please offer them in XXL and black (other colors are fine, but I prefer black -- it makes us size-enhanced Jammers look slimmer. :))
I like the idea of making it more of a DT shirt, and including DT's website is a good idea, since it isn't as likely to change as the Ytsejam's email address (speaking as a proud owner of an @arastar shirt, an @ax shirt, etc. :)) You might want to slip Mike an email asking what, if any, DT graphics you can use on it.

Dipshit comedian...... :)
The guy's name is Mark Wood. He shreds nicely. I have a CD by him that is very entertaining. It's called Voodoo Violince. Don't know if he has others, but I'd be interested to check out anything else he's done.
And the custom electric violins he designed and played were pretty sweet, in an 80's hair metal kinda way.......

The man in question is Mark Wood. He's playing his own fretted violins with distortion and is a true neoclassic shredder. Check http://www.markwoodmusic.com/Composer.html for more infos...

if there's one thing I learned from the last time, there is an abundance of fatty prog fans - myself included. I will be sure to make more XXL's this time.

well, changing the shirt color itself, that's certainly possible, and in fact i was thinking of making this some other color besides black. It would take some doing though, cuz as you could surely understand, for example, purple ink wouldn't show on a purple shirt while it would on just about any other color. And you can't change the inks.
but we might be able to do something like that. I was also going to post my final ideas on my page so everybody could vote.

I would love it if you could make shirts styled for women. The standard t-shirts just don't fit correctly. And in my opinion you can never have enough black t-shirts. It would be nice to actually wear a DT shirt and not have another one just hang in my closet.
