  1. I've never seen one. Cool as sh1t. I love it.

     I paid dearly for that flight case for my Boogie. I don't remember how much, it was many years ago, but I remember it hurt.

    A lot.

    Hey BBP, if memory serves, they have a pretty darned good selection of casters at Harbor Freight. If you use new bolts and nuts and stuff, splurge and get them in stainless.

    I love it!

    I commented over on the UMGF, but wanted to also tell you here that this song brings back memories of my grandpa.  He always had his knife with him.  I think most men carried a knife back then, and I do to this day…always handy.

    i like your song very much and that J15 is magic coupled with your voice.   Thanks for the share.

    Thanks, Roger. Yea, it was unheard of for a man to NOT have a pocket knife, not so very long ago.

    Yes sir!  Well written, well played and sublimely delivered! Great dynamics, pauses and hesitations, slurs.......masterful, sir.  Nothing that can't be handled by grandson's guitar.

    Thanks for noticing, Buc. That beat is funky enough without trying to pull off those off-timing phrases. 

    And it's a lot of words, too, for an old timer like myself.

    I deeply appreciate the kind words.

    You beat me to it. My dad was a farmer/cattleman. 

    There are several songs with that idea. I tossed it around for years myself and finally said the hell with it.

    There are millions of songs about love, a dozen or so about your grandpa's pocket knife isn't too many.

    Thank you.

     (That said, I hope that after operating on the dog, he cleaned the knife before cutting a slice of pie or your apple.)

    The things you never think about, until later...

    Thanks, David. Your opinions, as a fine writer, mean a lot to me.

    My Zaidy (the Jewish version of a Granddaddy) didn't carry a pocket-knife.

    Instead, he had pockets full of candies and  small change that he gave to us, his grandchildren, always warning us not to tell "the Bubba" (the Jewish version of Grandma).

    Worth a song? Maybe so.

    Love it!

  7. My wife just left me......She says life revolves around too much football and she's just sick of it!

    It's really a shame......I'm quite upset......We've been together for 35 seasons!

  8. A man was shopping at his local supermarket where he selected a half-gallon of 2% milk, a carton of eggs, a quart of orange juice, head of romaine lettuce, a 2 lb. can of coffee, and a 1 lb. package of bacon.

    He unloaded his items on the conveyor belt to check out, and the cashier said "You must be single."

    The young man was a bit startled by this proclamation,
    but he was intrigued by the check-out girl's intuition, since he was indeed single. He looked at his six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about his selections that could have tipped off the cashier.

    Curiosity getting the better of him, he said "Well, you
    know what, you're absolutely correct. But how on earth did you know that?"

    The cashier replied, "Cause you're ugly."

    I wonder how much of that is the fact it’s Brazilian. I’ve had older Gibsons where the boards stay nice n glossy year after year. I had a ‘96 Herb Ellis that had the most horrible coarse dry feeling board (Indian).

    I'd have to say yes, you are right.

    And I may have oiled it in the "Aughts". I don't remember.

    But it never saw oil in the 70's and early 80's when I was living in Arizona.
