I found a shortcut last night, but it was through the woods while I was driving someone else's 4x4 and I don't think I could duplicate now if I tried.
I'm glad your keyboard is working the way you expect it to.

I am having a cold beer with you - from 1,200 miles away.
May your hand always be stretched out in friendship and never in want.
Or, if you prefer an RAF toast, May the skin of your backside never cover the head of a banjo. ('Cept they didn't say backside)

Richlite is fine. I've got a guitar with richlite and two with ebony, and the richlite is holding up better.

Topdown is coming for a visit them and a few old boys are getting together for just that purpose. If anyone asks us to quiet down, we'll just tell them we're celebrating Make Music Day.

Guy Clark is a heck of a song-writer. And boy can that Verlon Thompson pick!?
Though Clark is an exceptional song-writer, and well known for the craft he puts into his lyrics, I have read that he considers himself more of a luthier than musician. He made the guitar he plays, and I guess a number more besides.

Re: Now I'm Confused (26 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
A few years back I had every intention of buying a D15 or D28. After playing them, some Taylors, Breedloves, and Larrivees in the same price range, I tried a Guild D40 Bluegrass Jubilee.
I own the Guild. I am not disappointed.
I did just get a Martin D1X12 that I like very well, but rather than Martin being the top of my guitars, it's the least expensive. I've got a Breedlove OM Retro in the too. Terrific all around guitar.
Although, Topdown let me play his Gibson J45 and I am smitten. I also have the hots for a Martin 000-15M. So it never ends.
This didn't go well. I meant to encourage you to buy the guitar that you like and can afford without preference for brand and wound up convincing myself I need to raise $5 grand for more guitars.

Well Dirty Ed, when it comes to pain management I learned that two vicodin washed down by a glass of bourbon on the rocks works great. It's best to do that in a hammock, because you're probably not going to move for a few hours afterwards.
Good luck with the knee replacement. I'll miss you on the Potomac, but would rather have you healthy and strong than not.

Hard to believe this post was made 7 years ago and it's been 15 years since Mom passed away. I still think about her every day. Happy Mothers day to all chordie Moms.
I last spoke to my mother on Mother's Day 1996. She passed suddenly the following Wednesday morning. Like you, I still think of her every day. I still want to pick up the phone and call her. I can only imagine how my children would have benefited from knowing her. But, even when it breaks our hearts the world unravels as it must.
My wife is not a big believer in Mother's Day. Our usual thing is for us to go to a nursery and buy some landscaping plants that I put in. I'm a terrible landscaper, and my wife knows less about plants than I do, so it's always an adventure. We get a big kick out of seeing what plants grow where. We can never hope to understand why. We put shade plants in shady spots, and they die. We put sun plants in shady spots and they thrive. Vice versa. So now we just go by shape.

Like, like, like. Beautiful guitar. You're broken though. It looks like you're using frets that are above the fifth fret, and those frets don't work right.

Tell you what...I'd be happy to toss a bag of dehydrated critter at you and as much belly wash as you need to choke it down. Sounds like a nice boat.

Re: beer (23 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Pizza and beer is a good combination. There's an area in my town called the Beermuda Triangle. It has a beach bar that sells craft beer (we have no beach, so the owner built one), a microbrewery, and a wood fired pizza place with local and craft beers and wine.
The beach bar owner has a knack for finding attractive young barmaids.
