say Walt! my om seems to have that kind of slope, correct? of course, i have the same type of ebony tailpiece.

Gerry,

thanks for your help. i told Walt that you made me get the OM from him. :whistling: :whistling:

Thanks Big Buddy! excuse but i need to do my strumming. :mandosmiley::mandosmiley::mandosmiley:

Gerry: thanks for reminding me about Jim's workshop. i am on the list also. i guess going to Ashland is out... well it's Columbia or bust.

SteveV: the Irish and the Spaniards do do things...

Thanks Gerry! i intend to have fun w/ this baby!!

BTW, you think you might to go and see Adam Sheffey and Kym Warner in Ashland next month? I like Kym's understated playing in the Greencards and...
