I’ve spoken via email with Brad regarding my Old ’97. I’ve considered shaving the neck.

I’m also getting a left handed Martin 0018 from the family of a friend who recently passed away. The friend and I met up in Chicago in 2018 for a guys only long weekend.

He had purchased the 0018 the day I arrived.

I’ll have Brad make a new nut and bridge saddle and see what to do with the pick guard.

Yes, I’m right handed.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Report on Corney?</p>

Not sure if he’s exhibiting. I read from his Instagram that he was attending.

Brad Corney, former SCGC employee, will have some guitars at the show.

SkyDog!

I agree with the Keymaster.

Or, just put it on the couch.

I have lost at least 3 Shubbs here at home. 2 chrome and 1 brass. The number could double.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Morro Bay for Darie’s Birthday started off windy and cold. It warmed  up nicely today when we returned home.</p>
I’ve got two bands going.

Heading up to Svea’s tomorrow for a few days.

Brian Corney, formerly of SCGC, may take a look at my Dread. As I age, my left hand is telling me I need a thinner neck. Brian will let me know what he thinks.

I bought a 12 string brass Shubb capo at NAMM in January. 25% discount.

The wedding was wonderful.

Addie walked in with Here Comes the Sun and out with La Vie en Rose.

She and Troy were blissfully happy.

I have been spending the majority of my time creating Freshwater Surf Music for my electric trio. I broke the high E string on my OM in August and didn’t put on a new set of Elixir Light until I got the wedding request.

Getting back to my acoustic has been wonderful. I’ve been playing my Strat, Tele, Jazzmaster, SG, PRS into a Deluxe Reverb.

I’m now thinking about putting a pickup in the Brazilian/Adirondack OM for the trio to get a more Hot Tuna sound.

Granddaughter’s wedding the 14th.

I decided to finally learn Here Comes the Sun, Imagine, and LA Vie en Rose.

2 ez and one not so.

I have plenty of other tunes in my rust bucket.

It is Joseph.

He was fast with a chisel.

I met his brother, Artie, at a Taylor Guutar night here in Bakersfield.

He was the sweetest, kindest guitarist I ever had the pleasure to talk with.I’ve been reading that  Happy was cut from the same cloth.

The Folk Scare is sadly receding into the Sunset.
