I think the Flinstones were the first animated show that had Winston cigarettes as a sponsor.

Well, I'm a carpenter first and foremost and I can't seem to remodel my own house no matter how much I try. Call me up and ask if I can give you a hand remodeling your bathroom, kitchen, re-roof your house and I'm there. My wife still doesn't understand all this, more so neither do I. I built and help build more houses than you can shake a stick at and found out the geometry portion of high school math I wanted nothing to do with, pops up all the time when cutting roof rafters, who'd a thought??

I love to fish and help start a bass club in 1980 and have been a member ever since. My fishing as inspired me to make my own fishing lures; so I also whittle. I made my first lure from a piece of firewood I found at the beach. Once it was built, I went to our local lake just over the hill from my house, it worked better than I thought it would, so it hangs on my shelf next to the others I've built. At the county fair my wife and I entered our perspective items. She for crocheting, and won 1st place and a blue ribbon. I for whittling for a swimbait trout pattern, and won first place and a blue ribbon as well.

I love old guns and have only three but they're the most favorite. A Winchester Model 94 30-30 WCF built in 1896 with a 5 digit serial number tops the list, another Winchester Model 20 .410 single shot, yes there was a Model 20, only 20,000 were made, and one I bought for my wife, a Marlin 39A Golden Eagle .22 lever action. She can shoot too.

I'm currently writing a book, murder mystery genre. Everyone says "keep it up" but I think they're being kind. So I'll keep at it until I decide when it's done. I would love to have it published and see my name on a shelf with others I admire so much, we'll see.

The pictures are the trout swimbait and my shop.

Writing music is like writing a poem. Think of it that way, a poem set to music.

It may not be anyone on a list. Actually, it would be the first being that pounded on a tree with a stick or a rock. That in itself would constitute music, and therefore during evolution it would continue to change and be what music is today. As far as the "modern era" any of the classical masters would have to be on a very short list. The Bob Dylan's, Beatles, etc. are nothing more than the continuing evolution of music, but I do enjoy Mr. B.B. King.

I'm not going to complain about anything, anymore. Moving.

Piano is one of the ones I would like to play, but my focus is the acoustic guitar.

Thoughts and prayers your way. After everything is healed up be sure and get a soft ball to squeeze to strengthen those fingers. Here's to you getting back and playing again.

I really doubt that I would drop 2K on a guitar at this point in time. Although the thought has gone through my mind of picking up an electric. I probably shouldn't type so loud, my wife may hear me. LOL On a more serious note; there will be a more expensive guitar in my arsenal once I become more proficient at my goal. Not sure which one but I've heard tell once you pick the right one up, it speaks to you. Hey, did I have a GAS attack in there somewhere??

I've found that the cord progression sometimes has nothing to do with the words as many has said. I've gone as far as looking up a song on youtube and finding the song on the Cordie song book and going from there. It really has helped me as far as cord changes and a sense of where I should be in the song. Listening to the song very carefully you can pick up the strum pattern as well. WOW, I think I helped. LOL
