Greetings to memphis, harvey and G, from across the pond! Chordie is a great place, with great people, all very modest. I like the fact that harvey is a "junior member"... No offence!
Cheers!

If anyone has the Singstar Playstation game, they will have a pair of mics that are not too bad. They have a 3.5mm jack which will plug straight into a laptop or PC. Well, you can plug one in. That's what I'm going to try, anyway! But, will we have to check Google Map/Earth to see where we are in the circle? And where do we put the campfire? Might be best if Zurf makes a list & just shouts out who's next...

Funnily enough, I was thinking of putting nylon strings on an old Yamaha steel string Jumbo, but someone at Zurf's local music store told me it was a bad idea. I also played a couple of songs at a private party recently, and a young lady I vaguely know was also playing. She had a Yamaha (again) that looked like a steel string, but was designed for nylon strings, with a classical type headstock. She picked it up in a junk shop £15 (about $23)!

You should add to that list - A.Raccoon and A.Possum, especially if Roger is making Margaritas. Would love to be there, especially as June 17th is my birthday, but don't think it's possible! But if you can somehow get internet, maybe I can say hello via Skype?

Great idea, Mr Z! It would be churlish to refuse - so I won't be a churl. My webcam is rubbish, though. Must try & work out how to use a digital camera as a webcam...

Friend of mine (a really good guitarist) sold his Martin and bought a Tanglewood instead. Not sure which model, but it's mahogany (mostly), quite a small body - will try to find out more...

Lovely guitar. I heard Dirty Ed's Blueridge at the July Jam and was most impressed...
Enjoy!

Thanks guys, but I was a bit too slow & the guitar sold before I got a chance to see it! Shame, but smuggling it into the house might have been a bit tricky...

Steely Dan - just never get tired of their stuff...

Just to add, I think they are fairly easy to make, if you are reasonably good with woodworking. Have also seen kits on eBay...

Have seen them used, never tried myself. But I want one too! There's a local guy that I see at open-mics who makes them, I think - but haven't talked to him yet...

I have seen a Godin Fifth Avenue advertised secondhand in a local paper, and am somewhat tempted! I am quite partial to Godin guitars in general, but know very little about archtops. I haven't even seen it yet, so have no idea on condition or playability, but I know that it doesn't have the optional P90 pickup. Any opinions on these guitars or particular faults to look for? I'm guessing Pix will know a thing or two here! Price is around $350 mark...
Cheers!

Hi Sonnya, welcome to Chordie from across the pond.  It's a great place, especially for beginners - just keep up that practice...
Cheers!

Pix (and family) - what an absolute tragedy. A terrible, freakish accident - so sorry for you all and the other families involved...

Very nice, Astro! No B chords, either...
