Visually - if I had to pick one, I would probably go with Jethro Burns' A-5 . . . every time I see it, I want it.
As 'players' go - I once got to play Joe Val's Loar . . . wow!

David: Is it just the picture, or is there an unusual shape to that bass?
Obviously, I can't comment on a Yamaha mandolin, but I think Yamaha instruments don't get the proper respect that they deserve among many musicians. My personal experience has been that a pretty...
Just for fun . . . a brand new original song:

For Laughs:
- Just started watching old Bullwinkle and Bugs Bunny cartoons on YouTube; (that Daffy Duck is a great actor).
For Sanity:
- I am happy to report that after 6 months of writers...
Speaking from experience - just be careful that you maintain good humidity levels in the room . . . in just one evening, I nearly lost 4 top-notch instruments.
Isn't it spooky? I used to be pleasantly shocked when I went to a store and came across a nice musical instrument, or a rare vinyl album . . . now I'm stunned when I see toilet paper.
How about a video or a sound-clip on that Weber 2-point . . . it's a beauty!
I have seen family members fight over many stupid things in someone's estate, so I can only imagine fisticuffs breaking out over the leftover toilet paper in some poor dead soul's bathroom closet . ....
How dare you post a picture of a Weber 2-point! Don't you know that I'm over my MAS - and now you're just rubbing it in my face.
Now I need to go take a cold shower . . . .
As a songwriter, I am often reminded of a quote I once heard back in the 70's (of all places) on The Muppet Show.
Floyd the bass player offered to write a new theme song for the show, and at one...
If this quarantine thing lasts too much longer, David might be able to find a desperate mandolin player who will trade his F-5 for some of that TP stash.
Years ago I threatened to write a sad bluegrass song and call it: 'Blue Grass On A Gray Day'
It's probably best that I never finsihed it, huh?
1. Check the internet for musical instruments that I don't need and can't afford.
2. Write some new songs.
3. Nap
4. Watch DVD reruns of classic old TV shows (F-Troop, Lone Ranger, WKRP In...
Good thing I didn't buy that used double-neck harp that I saw last week . . .
I just hope that at some point Mr. Rhippemhauf (who I am told used to be a lawyer at the firm of Wee, Cheatum & Howe)...
. . . and, by UNpopular demand:

I just noticed that Guitar Center is apparently running some sort of reduced pricing and special 48 month financing, for about the next week or so.
I didn't dig around too much, but I saw some...
Q: What's a four-letter word for 'NMD Killer'?
A; 'Wife'
If that arrived for me, I would definitely volunteer for 'self-confinement for 14 days'.
Enjoy.
I had to laugh to myself when I saw John Fogerty at the piano, flanked by candles . . . all I could think of was CCR meets Liberace.
I am considering going out to a public place with my guitar and doing a few tunes. Those people who love music and are not panicked, may stop and listen . . . others . . . well . . .
Love that Kent . . . thanks for sharing
On a personal level, I would love to hear about St. Joseph's Day celebrations in countries outside of the U.S. Growing up in a family of Italian immigrants, I heard many stories of the great feasts...
I too decided to try to do a live 'stream' show:
I made mistakes on the first song . . . screwed up the second song . . . completely butchered the third song . . . at that point my live 'stream'...
