Location: Seymour, Tennessee | A gracious member here sent me another well traveled copy of the Book and I've finished reading it.
The owner asked I make a post to see who might like to get it next.
This is a different book than Seesquare's book that'll be on it's way to me following a stop in Ireland.
I wasn't trying to be greedy in getting this second book sent to me, but it was offerred for me to look at while I waited on the other one, and of course, I jumped on the opportunity.
I have some unique plans for the other one so that is why it is still going to come my way after it is finished visiting across the big pond.
Same deal with this book as the original, get it, take some photos with it, sign it, and play it forward.
I'll send it out to whomever asks first.
Awesome reading, I'd been waiting a long time to get a chance to look over one of these! |

| Can we identify which of the two original books this is?
If it has water damage to the front cover causing a couple of the sigs to be illegible (particularly moody's) then that was the one that made it to England about 3 or 4 years ago. |

Location: Seymour, Tennessee | This one belongs to Flysig, it has no water damage, the signatures look just fine, and there are some entries from Australia in it, don't see anything 'bout London though.
Some of the names I can decipher are : Jim Lentz, Beggin, Slydog, Trader Jim, Capo Guy, Fillhixx, Damon, Mark in Boise, ProfessorBB, MWoody, Muzza, Aussie James, Flacky, Beal, 2ifbyc, TRBoy, War Eagle, Capt. Lovehandles, G8R, Serge, Challoway, Ozwatto, BT717, Jon Bundy, Crimson Lake, Iffy, Me, etc. |

Location: Utah | I am not the owner of that book, I just had extended temporary custody. It went to one of the Gatorbowl jams and to Oz, and came to me via Crimsonlake. There are some stickers and postcards from along the way tucked inside it. Most recently it was at Canterburystrings' Rocky Raccoon Memorial Jam this summer. I have no idea who started this book on tour. |

Mark:
I was gonna have it until the middle of next week, I'll just hold onto it until you send the postcards to me.
I still have to make up a CD of pics to go with it anyway, that will help me deal with my poor komprooter skills that'll invariably pop up while I'm trying to transfer the pics.
Lets do that then, Mark, send the postcards to me, once everything is buttoned up, I'll send it along to standing.
I'll pm you my mailing address.... |

The rest is history. |

By the way, you crossed my mind a little while ago, I saw an old Matrix hanging in the "Needing repairs" section of a guitar store I went into today to get the strings replaced on my 87C.
(I know, I know, having somebody else change my gitar strings is rediculous. The truth is I CANNOT do it, the sound of the strings going through the bridge to me is like nails on a chalkboard is for some folks)
Anyway, the bowl wasn't bad, the binding wasn't bad just yellowed, a bit of wear on the fretboard and head, but the top was pretty rough, long finish cracks (maybe 5 or 6 of them) but nothing through the wood.
I may go back and offer 'em $30 or 40 for it just for grins.
They had a beat up Applause too but I didn't take too close a look at it.
Knowing you like beat-up broke guitars (but possess the ability to revive them) just made me think of you when I saw 'em. |

Look at the Applause too. Applesauce is good for you! |

You'd probably only be able to fill them with bondo :)
If I can get both of 'em cheap enough I will, if this guy thinks he's on a pot of gold, they can continue to collect dust in his store :) |
