    Re: RIP Tom Smothers

    I remember watching their show when I was a kid, looked forward to seeing it every week. They were a face/voice of national protest at the time.

  4. In Search of a Case for a Kentucky KM-900

    I recently picked up a Kentucky KM-900. However, the case that came with it is quite ill fitting, and doesn’t have an arched cover. Maybe it’s the original case? Are there any KM-900/950 owners out...

    Re: Scrap Yard Challenge

    You dated it on 2/17/07. It has a super tight grained Sitka top from Orca Island Tone Woods and it took some time to open up. I still have the pictures you sent when it was in the building stage....

    I've been to Telluride a few times but never for the BG Fest. I always thought it would be fun but I saw pictures of the crowd from this year and it gave me pause. Maybe it's a sign of getting older...

    You don't seem to be cut out for making a sale of this amount online. Selling via consignment is probably your best way to go. Good luck!
