Here's my favorite rooster ... you can see he's got a bit more growing to do yet:
So yeah, if you've got eggs and want to bring them along, we'll certainly appreciate them, and will be more than happy to cook ya breakfast!
Love the markings on your rooster. He looks a bit like a young Bald Eagle. He just needs a longer and more hooked beak.
No problem. Unless laying comes to a screeching halt all of the sudden, I'll bring along a couple dozen eggs. There's about a 10 dozen excess right now and they show no sign of slowing down.

You have chickens now? Guess I won't need to bring eggs with me this year.
And yeah, Perry County (where the camp is located) is the self proclaimed home of rednecks in the area. Nothing wrong with a pleasingly plump redneck.

That's not working for me. The bread machine has long been associated with your new guitars. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

UJB, You might discount this, and I wouldn't blame you, but back in the 70's when I was serving in the military, I purchased new a Yamaha 12-string. I can't remember if I bought it while overseas or during a stint I pulled in Colorado. What prompted my post is that the pictures you posted show the exact pattern of circles around the body sound hole that mine had. In fact, upon seeing it, I could have sworn that it ended up sold off down the line. I did sell it, but don't remember to whom. The rear pattern. is a bit more decorative than mine was (solid color). I wouldn't think that I'd be out of line if I said that it may have been a more expensive Yamaha model than the one I bought. Mind you, that was back in the 70's, and that WOULD be a long time for a guitar to hang around. But it sounded really nice and played well. I grew to know it well since, being active military, we didn't have a lot of room for possessions, so when I wanted a guitar I bought a sturdy reliable 12, and it WAS that. I think at the time I paid a price of around $275 for it. Converted to today's figures, it was more than I could afford, but what else does one spend his monthly allowance on serving in the military!!
Yamaha was my first thought when I went to look at it.
The 3 piece back made me think of the 70's Martins (and others) when they were using up the last of the Brazilian Rosewood and didn't have any pieces large enough to do a 2 piece. I thought someone here with more experience buying and selling may have come across that type of number that's on the block. It's not that big a deal if I can't find out what it is. It sounds great and it was really cheap at $45.00.
Sorry Zurf. Never gave a guitar a name and don't see that changing.

Topic: Mystery Guitar (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I found this on craigslist yesterday. There was a pic of the front and back in the ad. It looked like solid wood and it intrigued me so I went to have a look. Seeing it first hand, it did appear to be all solid wood and the price was right so I brought it home.
There is no name on the headstock and I can see where there used to be a label on the inside but it's gone. What I assume is a model number is on the heel block and what might be a logo stamped above it. A search of the number gave me hint that it might be a Gamma, which I have never heard of, but further digging on that name only turned up bass guitars. It has an adjustable bridge which, I believe, was only used for a short time in the 70's on some Japanese guitars. I'm not that well versed on these matters so I could be completely off base. The top binding and one ring of the rosette appear to be pearl or Abalone. I don't know the difference and again, I could be totally wrong about both.
Even with 18 year old strings (the guy told me that's how long it's been in the closet) it sounds incredible. I'm cleaning it up right now and can't wait to hear what it sounds like with new strings.
Anyone have any idea what I bought?
Here's a link to the album I made. And here are a couple picks from that album.

Here is the number on the heel block. I'd be willing to bet that the 9 85 was when it was made.

Re: Traveling Minstrel (3 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I had a similar experience last summer.
I went to meet Zurf and topdown at a campground along the Potomac River in Md. I had to go to the campground office to find out where they were parked because t hey were off sampling some adult beverages when I got there. I set up my tent which only took about 10 minutes. Figured I might as well get the guitar out and play a bit while I waited. A couple walked by while I was strumming Melissa and complimented on how nice it sounded. About an hour later a camp employee rode up on a golf cart and I thought; Oh no, I'm not really registered here. Wonder if I'm in trouble? She walked over and asked if she could take my picture.
I occasionally wonder what she did with it. Am I in one of there brochures now?
