Here's something else, to be filed under "unintended consequences".

By that, I mean an item purchased...

Your friend has to pick his own instrument.

The one that "sounds like" the sounds he hears inside that he would want to make for himself.

"Any suggestion for a free newsreader client?"

I'm a Mac user and don't touch PC's.
On the Mac, the best usenet client for binaries is "Unison".
On the PC, I understand that Forte Agent may be...

"I love the grit, energy, and bite of guys like Monroe, Red Allen, and Jimmy Martin. Reno and Smiley are so overlooked by most younger fans, though to be fair, it's harder to get their material...

If you want more bass, get a guitar with scalloped braces. Neither the D-28 or D-35 come with that feature.

Jes' don' say nuthin' about "picks" in their presence!

"The snake acutally looks pretty cool."

Yes... but isn't the logical place for it on a .... snakehead A ?? ;)

I saw nothing displeasing about this "conversion" other than the price, which seems overly optimistic.

I wouldn't pay $7k+ for it, no way.

If the price were $3,000-3,500, I might start thinking...

I guess I'm a troglodyte.

For me, recorded music pretty much exists on CD's, either purchased (in earlier days), or home-burned from music I've bought or found in various formats on the net.
