I called the Incontinent Hotline. They asked if I could hold.

I try to play around 30 minutes or so each day. Some days I play for 2-3 hrs. Much of the time I’m just noodling-around, but every now-and-then I do try to add to my mundane techniques.

It’s amazing the things that can be done. It’s “brave, new world.” This technology is in its infancy. Kind of scary to think of what some a-holes will be able to do with it———Won’t be long before people are having their lives ruined because an AI version of them appears in a crime.

I know Gibsons are expensive, but prices are increasing on everything. Beyond that, I like Gibsons, and, if Gibson sold a $500 new guitar I’d probably wonder what shortcuts and concessions did they make. If someone wants or can only afford a low-mid range guitar, Yamaha ain’t bad at all.

Damn you, motorcitychick…..lol…. Just when I’m content with my current stable, you bring another thoroughbred to my attention. We just sold our old house (moved into a bigger one) for more than expected and my boss of 53 years has given me permission to buy something nice for myself. I realize we “can’t take it with us” when we go, but we can sure-as-hell have fun with it while we’re here. ……I have always been drawn to the bigger guitars and I suspect I’ll be watching for this guitar. Thanks for the inspiration.

Really sorry to hear this. Kind of suspected it was coming. I really enjoy a lot of his music. He was a good man, a patriot, a good father, a good human. One of those guys like Dylan, Cash, Prine….Different and cool without having to act “cool.”

One of the ultimate “hippie chicks.” Loved her raspy vocals and sweet looks. Never heard a bit of scandal about her. God bless! RIP!

Sick, but funny! I can laugh at most anything, including myself.

-11 as I write this. Fortunately, there’s very little wind. Yesterday we were getting steady 30mph wind, down from over 40mph the night before. From what I’m hearing, there’s a heatwave moving-in and Tuesday should be up around 3-4 degrees.

God, good job, David! You and Ben are killin’ me with these songs about “real” people. It’s great to dig-out an old song you wern’t quite satisfied with and turn it into a winner. Keep’ em coming! You guys are inspiring me.

Superb, Ben! I love this kind of stuff! Memories of my two grandfathers…..Each carried a pocketknife and could use it for what seemed countless of reasons….and as you say, it was magical. Thanks for the memories…..and I envy your playing abilities.

Good one.

I started listening to this guy again. He’s written a lot about growing-up in a small Iowa town. He has his own guitar style and way of using words, kind of like Prine. I find my self identifying with much of his folksy/americana songs. Definitely worth a listen if you’re into the genres.

Nicely done! Lots of Christmas feeling. Thanks for making a good day even better. Merry Christmas!

Sweet tune…….I’ve always been drawn to nostalgic songs/stories. Some folks find it too melancholy. Maybe it is, but that’s what much of life is.

Keep keeping-on!…BBW, I got Robert E. Lee’s autograph when was retreating from Gettysburg.

Damn, I feel like a bridesmaid, but never a bride (that’s only on days that I feel like being a woman)…..I wouldn’t be surprised if Digger saw Washington crossing the Delaware.

You know you’re getting old when not being able to find a parking space near the door is enough to make you go back home.

I am not a misogynist! I am 100% for women breastfeeding in public. My only problem is that they never wink back.

Probably true since we own 90% of the guitars.

I’ll be 77 also——-June 28th.

I know it’s part of life, but I see too many people I’ve admired leaving us…Btw, that’s good song….
