Location: Parrish, FL | Went to garage sales this morning since the annual neighborhood sale took place. Brought home 2 CD's, the first was by Susan Tedeschi from 2002 and has many of her tunes that get frequent airplay. Great disk! The other was a release by John Mayall with Eric Clapton and Mick Taylor from 1988. The disc is titled 'Archives to Eighties'. In the liner notes, Mayall talks about going over some old master tapes from recordings originally made in 1971 and remixing several cuts. The result is a stunning collection of his music. Highly recommended!
Oh yeah, the guitar. No garage sale closet queen found. I did however trip on down to Trader Jim's this afternoon and pick-up his Martin 00-17S that he had been holding for me. This is one great guitar and one that I'll hold onto for a long time. Living this close to TJ is going to be the end of me. Alison, I was real close to getting a package deal on the 1614 as well, but decided that one indulgence in a day was more than enough.

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Blues, I'm so glad for you that you got that Martin, and I'm so glad for ME that you left the O for me. If I lived near TJ none of you would ever get to buy guitars from either of us. We'd just keep trading them back and forth! |

Location: South of most, North of few | Brad brought up an interesting point, he said that I keep selling guitars, yet my wall is still full. I don't understand it either. I take one down and another one appears. It's magic I tell ya.
Congrats to Brad and Alison, you both got great guitars in those.
"guitar crack dealer"? I don't know whether to be insulted or consider it a compliment... :D |

Maybe it's that Ovation top finish "crack" they are all talking about :D

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | There's a rumor; The MotherShip uses "woofus dust" as the grain sealer, so when the poly finish gets the aging features, it releases the magic in the instrument. |

The Wizards are a wily bunch, alright. |

TJ is the "Huggy Bear" of the OFC now? Time for a Muscle Car chase scene now... |
