Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Well, i am very pleased to announce the coming addition of 47 RI #87 from Vision's home to mine. I have been hoping to be able to get one of these especially after I was able to play the original on the tour and Crimson Lakes #5 RI at the Southern Style Jamboree. I am so pleased to have met Leslie and for her to make this happen. Patience is a virtue; but for an old former Marine it is a miracle. Thank you Leslie for making a dream come true and helping to contribute to my children's inheritance! ;)
When the new addition arrives, I'll post Pic's and a full report!
My birthday is Wednesday, but it feels like today!
Blessings... |

Yes Mike, they seldom are. Wait a minute...Is "vision" your secret identity? Come to think of it, I never see the two of you together at the same time...Hummmm.... Where is Jimmy Olson when you need him? |

I am very proud that Mike will be the new owner of #87. He is a great guy and I just could not turn down selling this beauty to such an amazing person.
You can stop trying to find Jimmy Olsen - the secret is out.
Happy Birthday Mike!!!!!!
BTW - I am a dudette and not a dude :D |

And a very nice Lady she is too!
And that’s part 1 of the trade secret: part 2 is: I asked!
Thanks again Leslie/the feeling is mutual; (we actually think we're brother and sister separated in early childhood!)
It’s really uncanny!

They are truly unique guitars in every way.

Location: Simpsonville, SC | Boy, go out of town for a few days with limited internet access and Music has pulled another rabbit (sorry Waskel) out of the hat! Way to go Mike!
I am beginning to wonder if you and Randy are having a secret contest or something. Not a guitar collecting contest, but a contest to see who's wife will stop them first. :p
"Honey, Music got another guitar, can I get that Adam.....yes, Dear...of course, Dear...lessons?"
Happy Birthday buddy!!! :D :D |
