Fanbridge, the service I use for my mailing list, has just added a new feature called “Fan Questions.”

At first I ignored it, thinking it would be presumptuous of me to assume there would be people out there dying to ask me a question.  But then I realized that so many emails in my inbox are actually questions – often the same questions.

For example, here’s one I get very often…

Q: What (lap steel) tuning do you use?

A: I use a C6 tuning.  Specifically: 6G 5C 4G 3A 2C 1E

And just this morning I answered another common question (this one was asked through Facebook)…

Q: How do you pronounce Bougie?

A: g – is pronounced as ‘s’ in ‘vision’
boo-gee
boo – rhymes too
gee – rhymes with see

It sounds like this.

See!  I do have questions to answer!

OK.  I’m probably opening up a can of worms here, and I can already imagine how my friends will abuse this, but here it is anyway…
