Yeah, I'll bet gift shops at touristy places are a great place to find things like that.  Fortunately for me, we're planning to take some family time and go to touristy places with gift shops a fair bit this summer.  I'll let you know how it goes, and thanks for the offer.

I have broken a ridiculous number of D strings on my classical guitar.  The shop I use says for some reason that string is particularly vulnerable and they keep a good supply of single D strings for classicals in stock.   He said sometimes he'll come in in the morning and have busted D strings from guitars hanging on the wall.  I think it's elves do it.

You are, but you won't be for long.  That looks like a great way to carry picks.  I'm going to have to drive up to the mountains and back some long-forgotten roads to find a general store or five and dime that has one I can purchase.

I love that shot of the sheep particularly.

There was a good article on that topic in Acoustic Guitar a few months ago.  I tried to find it, but came up dry.  I'll try again later when I have more time.  Or you can check for it yourself if you have the time.

D was my buggaboo when I started too.  Now it's B.  There's always something more to learn.  Don't let it get you down.  Just keep practicing and you will be surprised at how quickly it begins to fall into place.

And it's usually an error on the member's part.  Every time I've had to contact a member about a post that I edited, I have received a sincere apology.  The matter has ALWAYS been an honest error and no one I've had to address has ever been intentionally mischievous.  Good folks here.  Real good.

Mistake?  No.  Probably not.  Learning experience?  You bet!  I hope your wrist gets better soon.

Those guys are considered the mainstream in the U.S.  They're good, but (with the exception of Brooks and Dunn) aren't country to me.  They're rock bands without the flatted thirds.  The first time I heard Lady Antebellum, I was wondering if .38 Special had reunited.  That's not a joke. 

What counts as alternative country in the U.S. are the old "Outlaw Country" acts like those I mentioned above and then add in folks that they influenced, like Marty Robbins.  Then there's the whole Texas 80's thing with Guy Clark, James Earl, Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, and folks like that.  Though I'm not sure if John Hiatt is out of Texas.  Good, solid, lyric-driven country bands that can't get airtime and are relegated to digital satellite stations and Pandora.

Ha!  And now I've already got a victim, er, forum member to send the box along to next.  I haven't even opened and sorted it yet.  Aaaaaaand, it will be going back across the pond.

Awesome!  Loved it Deadstring.  Your timing is impeccable.

How dare you even consider that a headlamp would be uncool?  Use one camping and you will discover that they are the coolest things ever.  I would rather forget my pillow than my headlamp. 

But, given a clear lack of taste on the matter of outdoorsy coolness, another option for you is to use a shepherds hook like you'd use for sticking in the ground and hanging a potted plant, except hang a small lantern from it.  You can then keep your hair in a perfect state of wind-blown dishevelment.
