We all do what we can to protect our rights and bring awareness to mining.
This is what Im going to be doing in 2008..... Rockin' For Mining!  Im going to be bringing awareness to musicians and their listeners about how important mining is in ALL our lives! I will also be giving out handmade stone guitar picks I made from material I have mined. This should be fun and productive all in one.

Mrs CP, I'll tell you what I think. It is a typically magnificent gesture on your part!
A great idea that represents a lot of hard work and the free distribution of some very valuable items. I commend you and your idea! faaus |

Thanks denise for pointing out the pick.Now all I need to know is when the contest happens.The pick is quite beautiful.Believe it or not i was working a couple of pieces of the same stuff earlier.I got it from some really good friends in Colorado
I think your idea about the picks is great.If you run low on material let me know. I have a few pounds of stuff laying around.

The more that know about how important mining is to our lives, the better! No matter what age.
How can I stand it Jim?.....I cant, because Im far from that person you speak of. But thanks for thinking so. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

There are lots out there "Rockin' For Mining", so I wanted to come in here and thank them for doing their part in spreading the word about mining to others.
Thanks for all you do to help teach others about how important mining is in our lives. Keep up the good work, and thanks for the amazing tunes!  Todd Rice Dennis Holt Matt Mattson Quentin Good Gene Wiley Quentin just came out with his first CD titled "The Fire Inside". All songs were writen and performed by him. Congratulations Quentin!! Sounds great. If you know of someone who is rockin' for mining by jamming, and spreading the word about mining to others, I would love to hear about it. Im also working on making a logo for Rockin' For Mining so If you draw, I would love to see your ideas on what you think it should look like.

How's about that pick Big D had on the other page?!
I love that thing!So, what's the contest? Incidentally, I have been taking classes in Adobe Flex and I have all the Adobe Software so could probably help out with logos and such. Are you all gonna make a new website under the same name too? Also, where can I hear some of Quentin's new CD? Is there a youtube link or anything? -------------------- Proud Member <span style='font-size:10pt;line-height:100%'>Treasure Hunters of America</span> Proud Sponser

Thanks Todd.........CP is spoiled and does get the best from me.
Im still working on contest details, but as soon as I have them together, I'll post them here. We are not going to create a new website for "Rockin' for mining". All will be done in person or through the ColoradoProspector website. Im just wanting a logo for flyers, that we will be passed out bringing awareness to mining. If you come up with some ideas for a logo Todd, I would love to see them. Just a reminder.........We are not making any money from this or raising funds, just bringing awareness to things people need to know about mining. As far as hearing Quentins CD online.......No such place yet, hes lucky if he climbs out of the holes to eat let alone get on the puter.

Ok.........In the Jam session part of the forum, I quoted this from a video.
QUOTE When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandizee the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more Beautiful. ~Barbara Bloom~ The first person who comes into this thread and tells me where (What band) in the forum, and what song (video) it was pulled from wins the stone guitar pick pictured above.

Oooohhhh.......that's easy if you pay attention here......(or if you know music)
Since I already have a pick (and Big D won't come offa his..) I won't play. BUT I'll give others a hint, too...... The chord progression for their biggest hit is Am, C, G. Okay. So Julie and I are taking off for a few days, I'll check back then to see if anybody figured it out when I'm gone. -------------------- Proud Member <span style='font-size:10pt;line-height:100%'>Treasure Hunters of America</span> Proud Sponser

<-------Looks over at Todd smiling.
Ok Todd.........After picking up the guitar and plucking at it a bit.....Seems you know right where Im talking about. Good job! I dont think It would be fair for you not to be able to participate just because you already have one. Can never have too many stone guitar picks.....hehe Anyone else?.....Seems Todd is giving you a chance for a guitar pick of your own. Lets hear it. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
