I’ve played the ■■■■■■■ out of this Martin. When I used to perform I had quite an arsenal of guitars, but I sold everything over the last few years other than this Martin. I’ve actually been looking for a couple years for a Les Paul that floats my boat. I found a '59 I really liked in New Orleans last year, but they wanted $58,000 for it. :🙂 ---

Video of singing while throwing, now that would be something. I know we have some great singers around here because some of you have sent me your songs.) That would be hilarious if other instruments and yo-yos threads popped up. There was a thread about drummers awhile back, I think Sniffy started it. It was not centered around personal pics like this thread though. Just general conversation about drummers. I have a few guitars left to show. I may post my Ibanez bass tonight. ---

My problem is I’m paying for northern housing on southern wages. :-[ I guess what I need to be doing is looking for a much better paying job below the Mason-Dixon. Hmmm. The only place more expensive to live than here, in the United States, is probably New York. Maybe it is just equally bad. All my guitars combined, equal the value of mgiroux77’s one guitar. Must be nice to buy top shelf like some people. 😃 Is it the quality or the quantity? I like variety, so it has to be this way I guess. I will be like him someday though 😛 I will downsize by 1 or 2 soon, but the rest are staying. Don’t tell him I said all this. :-X ---
