Nope. Too tight at the nut.

Either on the D or G string at the post. Although it might not work on an electric with light strings.

Back in the early 90's I spent one winter working for Airbourne Express doing local deliveries and pickups. My territory was about 30 miles from the local hub.

IBM had an office complex which had a fairly major road that split it in half. I would pick up an envelope on one side of the road and instead of running it across the street to it's destination, I had to scan it when it was picked up, scan it into the hub when I got back in the evening, scan it out of the hub in the morning and then scan it again when it was delivered. They would do this a couple times a week at $11.00 a shot. Those letters made a 60+ mile trip to go less than 100yds. One of the most phenomenal wastes of money I have ever encountered.

Good luck with that. I've been on the DNC list for around 7 years and I update every 2-3. Still get "Rachael (or some other name) from cardholder services" at least once a month. When I reported the number I found out that it shows up as inactive. I've started playing with them to waste their time and it's cut down on the number of calls I get.

How about a 2 finger C. Use your index and middle fingers or your middle and ring fingers on the A and D strings. Just don't play the B string; sounds terrible.

On a side note..... I use a regular A and D as opposed to the 7th's. It works just as well.

Fun song to play. It became part of my regular rotation back in the spring. Next time we get together I'll record it.

I was going to offer alternatives also but the OP asked about Taylor and Martin. I have played both and have a Martin. I don't care for the "ringy" sound of most of the Taylors. However, I did play one that I absolutely fell in love with; the 214ce. It plays effortlessly and has a very well balanced tone. But the price tag is $700 over budget.

I concur with TF and I'm going to add another choice; Alvarez. I have a 35 year old Alvarez that I would put up against either Taylor or Martin. They are well made guitars, sound great and come in at $500-$700. I also have a great sounding Eastman that retails for $500 but I picked it up in the used market for $200.

Before you shell out the big bucks for a new guitar, look around for something used. The instrument market is soft right now and there are some really good deals out there.

Good luck in your search. Let us know what you decide on.

As was the case last year, I won't be able to commit until I know if there is snow in the forecast for whatever week you decide on.

Thanks for the update.

I was just thinking about this last night; haven't seem him for a week.

Pa wins the US championship 3-2 in another nail-biter. Over 44,000 people in attendance.

Today it's Japan for the whole thing. They are expecting 50,000 for this one. That's nearly double the population of the town where the games are hosted.

The game will be aired on most ABC affiliates.

OK. We're 6 weeks out so I thought it was about time to bring this back to the top.

MKM and crew are confirmed. My brother and his girl also. That takes the 2 bedrooms. There is still a sofa-bed, a day bed and a futon.

There are 4 local musicians confirmed as well; at least one is staying the night. Being single he'll probably get the day bed. There are also a few locals coming just to socialize.

I'll have food and beer but if you're a liquor drinker you'll need to bring it. I was never into it so I know nothing about all the different forms of liquor that are out there.

Zurf, your pop-up can be parked about 20yds from my trailer.

My brother will be arriving Friday afternoon. He wants to go the the range to shoot a few of my guns and then we'll be headed up. I'll be there from Friday night on.

I would like to get confirmations in by the end of September so I can figure out how much of everything I'll need. Look at your schedules and let me know.

Finally some good news. Enjoy your night out.   You deserve every minute of it
