Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | The pickles arrived on Saturday, but i wasn't around t'retrieve them and I got tied down (ShutUp Weaser) here all day today (to everyone here's profound agitation).
For the life of me, I can't remember if I changed the strings or not. If I didn't... I don't know what they are, they came on it from the seller. If I did, they'd be Ernie Ball Regular Slinky...Custom Gauge 10-46
...as I type this, I'm beginning to think I didn't change them...
...havin' fun wid'it? |

Location: Hicksville, NY | Every Sunday morning, there's a radio program called, "Acoustic Sunrise" at Jack FM. It's basically acoustic versions of popular songs by (or covered by) the artists themselves. Give it a listen if you have Jack in your local area, and it just might trigger which acoustic tunes will interest you, and which will not. |

I am really enjoying Tommy Emmanuel's talent. I think he must have visited the crossroads.
We have some awesome local musicians here in Hawaii. Two of my favorites are Keola Beamer playing slack key guitar and Barry Flanagan with the band, HAPA.
The Cazimero Brothers are my long-time heroes for contemporary Hawaiian music. The guitarist, Roland, usually performs with his custom made double neck guitar but is often seen with a 1980's model Adamas 12 string. |

Location: Tennessee | A couple of things I'm listening to right now:
Bob Dylan - Modern Times. This album really grows on you ... one of his finest efforts in a long, long time.
Bruce Springsteen - The Seeger Sessions. Not your typical Boss, and I like it a lot.
Soul Asylum - The Silver Lining. While not exactly acoustic, there are acoustic guitars scattered throughout. A decade off didn't hurt the guys at all. |

I loved Hang Time and The Horse They Rode In On, but when I heard Grave Dancer's Union, I jumped off the SA train. I hated that album. |
