My 1915 A cost me $600, but it needed about $125 in set-up work.

What a little ray of sunshine!

For all those just bursting to know, I did better with the dishes last night. I don't think it was the cartoon, though. I think it was the single malt.

I printed out "Mr. Natural Does The Dishes" and will hang it over the kitchen sink tonight. Stay tuned for an update on my attitude adjustment. But I'm standing firm on Growing Older being a pain.

My best friend went to Berklee and we were roommates together. He took arranging courses and had to learn to play lots of different instruments just a little bit to familiarize himself. In the end,...

Thanks for pointing that out. It sounds very Byrds-like.

No, we don't, and it's none of our business, except that he brings it up. I do think many of us must fantasize about how much playing music, writing music, painting, writing prose and poetry,...

He had no income for five years? What or whom was he living off of?

That's great advice for people to try writing, painting, etc. He doesn't say if he is writing music, or only playing what others...

I would love to hear that. I bet the guitars were even in tune.

Man. There sure am a lotta good young bluegrass bands around these days.

I have two mandos w/o endpins, and that's what I do. Works just fine.

I had a great experience at the GC on Comm. Ave. (now moved to Boylston St.) many moons ago when I sold them a used Gibson SG bass for about double its value! I don't suppose the kid who did that...
