It is a really good book.  I am sure you will enjoy it.

That poem is  a good one Peatle - made me smile !

Cheers to you and Maree for a Happy and Healthy New Year.     

Peatle,
Great writing .....  we are all connected.

If you have never read the book" The Alchemist" by Paulo Goelho - I would recommend it.
It is an easy read - so simple, yet so deep.
Thanks for the post !

RoundWound vs. Half-Round vs. Flatwound Guitar Strings

The profile of the wrap wire affects the tone and feel of your guitar strings.

    Roundwound guitar strings have a round external wire wrapped around a wire core. They offer the brightest sound, making them ideal for rock, country and some blues music (especially among lead guitarists). Their ribbed texture gives the strings more grip but also makes more “string noise”, which is noise created by moving one’s fingers against the strings.
    Half-round guitar strings, or half-wound strings,have a warmer sound due to the strings being round-wound, then ground down for a smoother feel. This reduces string noise when changing chords while retaining some of the roundwound string’s sound qualities. Think of half-round strings as a halfway or compromise between roundwound and flatwound strings.
    Flatwound guitar strings offer the warmest, most vintage sound of these three profiles. The flat ribbon wire provides the smoothest polished surface, practically eliminating string noise and making it easier on the fingertips. This string is perfect for performing anything from blues to jazz while remaining suitable for modern rock. The downsides are that flatwound strings are harder to bend and come in more limited gauge offerings.
