A certain professorial member of the OFC got a picture of his man-cave published!
Congrats! :cool: |

If ever a man-cave deserved it, it would be that one. |

Maybe formed into a concrete amp riser? |

Well done. |

Well done. And he's got plenty of show. I'm just sorry we didn't have time for me to wear out my welcome. Brad and his wife showed me the cave, fed me, let me watch and listen and try to follow Brad as he played, all the day before they left on a trip to Europe. OK, I probably overstayed my welcome, but they didn't make me feel like it. Nice folks. |

I've been there more than a few times and I have NEVER seen that much floor space. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | You guys are really kind. I just moved the center floor stuff out of the way for the photo shoot. Those guitars hanging on the rack are sticking out almost two feet. The crap on the racks and walls seems endless, and this is only one corner of the room. All this gear and my practice regimen has changed to "down-down-up" on the silent and very convenient Traveler. It seems like obtaining the guitars was the easy part. The neon signs are more difficult to find. Fortunately, when I started collecting them, there weren't very many people with a similar interest. |

My office is not quite that lit up although it's a start..
After managing a Music Store for three years and owning one for four more, I kinda got OD'd...and the fact that I have no more room at the moment: nearly every closet is full of guitars and gear and every room is close to being the same way...it's a sickness...but the only threat of death from it is when SWMBO gets that "look"...
So my Man Cave has spread to the whole house...but Beal knows all about that...I'm still able to use my shower...for now... |

I just sent the pic to my gal, and said "See, I'm not so bad after all"
Her reply....
Although this may be extreme.... This doesn't make yours "OK". I don't want to hear that Billy's Mom lets him have a club house so you get one too. |

Hope you are feeling better. Nice to be back Stephen...the voice still has not returned but it is trying...I do not recommend major surgery...if ya gotta, ya gotta...but man, the older ya get the harder it is to bounce back...that said, my neck and shoulder pain is history for the most part...I still have several pesky disc's that act up from time to time but the ones fixed during the surgery are doing great...sorry to have missed Amelia... |
