    Mexico

    So in Mexico, "if it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it down." Except for the toilet paper, of course, that must be collected in a brown bag and burned out in the compound daily. Yuck. Don't stand downwind from it.

    "Dreadnut, You haven't told us what the diagnosis is" Well my diagnosis is simply "shortness of breath." I need to be sucking oxygen all the time presently. 4%. I was i the hospital recently on a Lasix drip, then they decided I could pee at home just as well. Ya think? Hammering the oral...

    Marc & Mary. A space in time. I didn't even know this photo existed before they displayed it on the big screen at her funeral.

    But they're treating me like I am! They have Hospice nurses visiting 2X a week; they have taken over all my meds so there is no more cost to me, among other things. This all started a couple weeks ago when I went into the hospital severely short of breath. They released me after a couple of...

    Finger Picking

    I tried some kind of acrylic nails, but it was just too much monkey business for me. I'm down to bare fingertips on my picking fingers now. I've built up major calluses; they work especially well through my acoustic amplifier. I still do a lot of flatpicking as well.

    Finger Picking

    I wish I hadn't given up on piano. My teacher told my Mom "You're wasting your money - he will never learn to read music." Turns out she was right, I never did learn to read music. I can play the daylights out of it though!

    She's like brand new, what a delight to play. Unmistakable Guild tone, she just rings! Sustain all the way into next week. So that gives me one 'hog top and one spruce top. The D25M and the D15 are essentially the same guitar otherwise. I've played the D25 at a thousand events; the D15 stays home.

    I have just built up callouses on my picking fingers, mostly I just use my nails to backstroke the strings.

    The Best Guild Model Ever Made

    Between ol' Louise and my DV52, I've gotta give the edge on sound to Louise, my D25M.. She sings so sweetly... 1976, fresh out of the Navy, I go out looking to buy a Martin - because anybody who's anybody plays a Martin, right? My local music store had Martins, Gibisons, and Guilds. The...
