Prison ministry...oops! Sorry...thought you asked how I met my wife...

Okay, mods, shut this thread down...nobody's going to top this line... Bravo, sir, bravo...

Well he IS "just" a youth pastor...

Anybody watch The Middle? There's a character on there, a youth pastor named Rev. Tim Tom, who is always helping folks w/their problems w/a song...he plays a small-body Banner but I'm not so smart to identify it...

Story of my life... But seriously folks...back "In the day" Wendy's single burger was a meal w/a ton of fixin's on it...you'd take that first bite and a salad would fall out onto the paper wrapper...now they look like they belong on the budget menu... Not only are sizes of each item shrinking, so are the amount in packages, while maintain the same price... As far as guitars, I don't expect it, but would be none too surprised if it happened...

I feel ya, and thanks for sharing...I think when we get in the Hole we look for things to feel bad about, y'know? I was feeling guilty about indulging myself w/so many guitars... Your comment "...now seems like a chore" is a pretty fitting descriptive...just know you (we) are not alone and dialogue a crucial step...know that I'm praying for you and am easy to get hold of... kidblast, thank you so much...you kinda nailed it; I'm part of what I've nicknamed the "FOP" (Final Option Praiseteam)...I get asked to fill in when the regulars are absent (once every 2 months or so)...getting the songs 3 days prior and (since I work midnights) not being able to attend the one rehearsal that is held certainly mucks things up... But it's going to be okay...

Dad??!? Is that you??? "Daddy don't you walk so fast"... Enjoy the break...

Always have been a big fan of his...saw him a couple years ago and he seemed to be having the time of his life...before he or the band hit the stage a stagehand brought out that old beat up D-18...sitting second row center I got excited like I was seeing a celebrity... He's had to reschedule some recent dates (a couple more than once) due to a leg infection that's taking longer to heal than expected...81...man!!! Go Gord!

Yeah, I couldn't stay away from you guys...thanks for the encouragement...to the man (or woman) you are all correct... This has just been a particularly long bout...not thinking about selling the stable anymore...the deeper the hole, the longer the climb out, I suppose...

This might be it...I don't know if it's the result of a long depressive bout or what, but here of late the very thought of picking up a guitar just makes me sad... the very thing I relied on to help me through just makes me feel worse now. My attempts at playing in church worship have resulted in me making the other musicians/singers stumble. The type of songs they do honestly sound better w/just a piano anyway... I'm this close to taking my stable to a local shop to put up on consignment. It would help him out in the process. You all are a terrific bunch. I've really enjoyed lurking and occasionally joining in. There are two individuals I'd like to thank especially. Jinder, our shared Dove love has made me feel a real kinship w/you... And my Scarecrow (you know, the one Dorothy said she's miss the most), if it wasn't for this place I never would have gotten to shake hands w/Mr. Woof, and for that I will be eternally grateful... If you all want to banter back and forth about my decision go ahead. I don't suppose I'll be looking in though... All the best to you all God bless Cab

Another Great Buckeye Convergence! And, as is now tradition, Mrs. Woof made a performance-related purchase... Nice catch, brother...congratulations!

Right below, in your case, where it reads "All Access"...yours is +346 just now...

Social Media is amazing...I'm almost as happy for a person I've never met face to face or spoken to getting another Dove as I would be if it were me...

I wasn't suggesting you weren't being honest...sorry if it came across like that...it's really weird to see that kind of wear...

I might be totally wrong, but the top photo looks like the finish is just wearing off...a whole lot more than I'd expect on a 4-year old...the second shot looks like nicks, as if something dug into it...weird...

Saying prayers and keeping good thoughts for you as you go through these storms, buddy... As my hero Oddball (from Kelly's Heroes) said, "No negative waves"...

I'm working up the nerve to try The Dutchman...one of those songs that's so sad it's pretty...

I'll bite...the Doves I've had seemed to play themselves...my old B45 12 string and I have to add the LG2 American Eagle I just got...

Ohhh, you have a life...it can be a "Life's work" trying to find rhyme or reason to anything Gibson does/did...

Wow...and it still works...congrats!

^^^^^^^^^^ These...

Not to be contrary, but I just pulled the trigger on a '17 LG2 American Eagle w/a Natural finish...maybe they changed up over the years?

Huh...that's about an hour away...who knew

That explains why John Denver called West Virginia "Almost Heaven"...it's next door!
