Thanks much to Slipkid and (was it the Zilla?) for putting this project together. This is way beyond a calendar. The pics are gorgeous and will be framed and hung in the bandroom! |

I've got 20-25 and could stand to wittle the collection down a bit... Handmade by my lovely and talented wife in a 'one size fits all' design. (as long as you're between 170-270 lbs and 5'6" to 5'11") I'd be happy to send along one or two with no pockets. (everything I wear has pockets, must have more pockets!)
That's as close as I'll get to the factory tour for at least another couple years. |

Look how it's laid out. The subliminal lines draw your attention right to the guitar. The dog's back is right in line with the guitar neck. The plow blade in the upper left draws your eyes right to the subject. Visually the neck of the guitar is supported by the steel wheel.
Just stunning.

Thank you Brad, Zilla and anyone else involved in this project. The trinket will keep me busy for some time, I think. It's easily worth as much as the calendar. The 4,950 +/- members who didn't order one missed the bargain of the year!

Having it all listed on the back would be a nice touch and help us remember the details in the future. |

Location: closely held secret | Ok, ok... for Brad's sake I will clearly state that I WAS FUNNIN' about the trinket. Brad knows I rarely miss an opportunity to have a little fun here.
Let me say that we would have a hard time finding a member with more initiative and generosity than our Bradley (slipkid). He has repeatedly gone above and beyond what anyone in their right mind would expect from a middle-aged man you met in an internet chat room.
He is obviously a man of high character and integrity. Here's to Brad!

I don't post'em... I just pose for 'em.
Paul or Dave... give us a couple obscure yet meaningful clues so we can start guessing. |

Dave, the Josh White in the center is from you and now belongs to Tom. I have no idea which one is from Paul, but remember he sold a Country Artist. So this could be the one on the right side?!

but thanks for the paliano/paniolo thing.... got a whole rewrite in front of me with no $$$$ reward! Unless YOU see a booking opportunity... ;)
BTW: got a pronunciation guide on that? |
