fini

Having a brewskie after finally getting something listed on eBay. That's supposed to be how I make money, and I have a ton of stuff to sell, but it takes time! I have a buddy who only sells records, and that would be simpler. All the same shipping box, weight, etc. Just describe, grade, and sell (hopefully). It doesn't help that the house is a mess with 3 or 4 projects unfinished, and the usual housework...UGH! Maybe I'll sell some stuff around these parts. Oh well, beer's gone, time to tackle the mess before the mrs. comes home. A fini's work is never done. At least she's doing dinner tonight!

Bruce, I just sunk about $800 into my guitar having the neck reset. I'll have to give Martin a call. Edit: Looks like late '69 was when they switched to Indian rosewood: After the introduction of the D–35, Martin was faced with a dwindling supply of Brazilian rosewood and a quickly growing guitar market – folk music was booming. The newly imported Indian rosewood required more seasoning before it could be used. Consequently, Martin began cutting their remaining Brazilian rosewood logs differently to obtain more usable wood out of each log. By late 1969, the change to Indian rosewood was complete, with D–21 #254498 having the distinction of being the first official Indian rosewood guitar. http://www.martinguitar.com/history/dreadnought.php?chptr=5

Sides and back, I mean.

Bruce, what would you figure is on my '73 D-28?

I just spent about an hour looking at Youtube vids of Gerry Anderson shows: , , and . What a blast!

I recommend the Palladium P-39F's.

[Y] [Y] [Y] [Y] !!!

Ha! Now I know you're the real deal there, Larry! You've set many records on the Klipsch forum, but you play one on your Basis turntable.

Hey, I know Larry is a real doctor, but does he play one on TV?

Don't take chances, Larry. We don't want to hear about your lawn chair falling over. Sorry, couldn't resist. Hoping for the best for all my Klipsch brethren!

I could see them throwing a free old-time bluegrass festival and sweeping in for the sting. Re-friggin-diculous.

And they get killer guitars in the process. So, what happens to the confiscated guitars? Destroy them? Replace the fretboards? What do they do with all the rosewood fretboards? Glue them back into a tree?

I just remembered your weekend place! I've got my fingers crossed for you, Gary. Maybe you, Marty and Larry should hunker down someplace with the Thorens and those records you refuse to ship.

Now that I DO have your attention, how was the quake? Getting ready for Irene's visit?

Gary, Are these still available?[] I ran into this thread doing a search. Three of my favorite albums were in that group: Bookends, Hermit From Mink Hollow and One Man Dog. The first is one of my very favs, great songs, stunning recording. The last two, not the best recordings but great music. Rundgren's whole catalog needs a serious remastering. The James Taylor LP has gotten the treatment a few times in the last 5 or so years, but still sounds like there's a blanket over the Khorns. Have you reconsidered shipping these??

Oh, he's not talking about hurricane Irene. Irene is his blow-up doll. Two weeks ago her arm fell off.

Talk about getting ripped...

Oh, and yes, do what you need too with this approaching hurricane! Best wishes to you all!!!

I hate those pointless doctor visits, where all they say, "Well, let's see how you are in 2 months." Especially sucks with the $40 copay...I'd better have a beer to calm down...

NEW SIZE-SAME WEIGHT!

Oops, sorry! I thought you said Corn Flake Cereals.

Yes. And The Netherlands!

The best invention ever hasn't been made yet. It's in my head, and I'd be banned (possibly killed) by the moderators if I discussed it.

But it's for number 2.

Yes, but the warning is something like, "The big one is coming...sometime within the next 30 years...probably."
