Had a PayPal account since they've been around, at least 20 years. Mainly used it for a place to land the money when buying and selling guitars and other music related stuff. It was a pain to get the $$$ out, so several years ago, decided to get a debit card tied to the account which I have...

Thank you Chazmo for bringing up a sore subject. It's always festering and doesn't take much to bring to the top. I remember somewhere around 1973 or 74, I bought my first TV a 19' Zenith, color of course, for @ $650. Zenith's were the Cadillac of it's day, or so I remember. Are they even...

Out for a drive this morning, about an hour from where I live. Couple of wrong lefts and rights and low and behold stumbled on my favorite guitar shop in Ashland NH, going a different way. Great, I thought, I'll swing in and see what's new. I always manage to find something. Actually that's...

This popped up, Jeff Cook co-founder of the country group Alabama has passed away from Parkinsons disease. They were huge during the 80's. He was the lead guitar player, fiddler as well as vocals. I remember all three of the guitarists playing G & L guitars...

Just sold my Mark IV Pearwood on Reverb. On my listing I said shipping to Continental US only. Well the first to respond was a fellow from Hawaii; real nice guy, really interested. He asked about shipping, so I found out. He said as long as it wasn't ridiculous he's OK. Next day....$811...

For Sale Vintage 1966 Guild Mark IV Pearwood Classical Guitar; made in Hoboken NJ, serial # CD-184. I bought it from the original owners daughter, who inherited it after her father passed away. I have owned it for 6 years. It sat under her bed for 40 odd years. I would doubt there is one in...

Today was the day, I got my first Moderna Covid shot. Gotta say it went unbelievably smooth. Rural area, plenty of staff, organized and had it down pat! We were met at the door by a nurse with a standard medical form to fill out. We had it previously filled out. She brought the form to...

I'm within a week of heading down south for the winter. The last two years I have had a pickup installed in my Mark V maple and a my Alvarez Yairi classical guitars. I had them done at Randy Wood's in Savannah. http://www.randywoodmusic.com/ I'm very satisfied with the outcome. It kind of...

At least in the east, it is time to get the humidifiers out. Tom

Decided at the last minute to go see John McEuen. He's a founding member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, member for 50 years. Well that was until last week when he decided to pack it in with the NGDB and do something else he wanted to do. At 71 years old, good for him. He had 3 other...

Just got up and heard the news about the horrific Las Vegas shooting, Fifty people lost their lives, 200 injured, as I'm sure most know by now. Hope Tom stayed home last night. Tom

Stumbled on to this fix for photobucket blocking pics. There is a photobucket fix for Firefox (and Chrome): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-embedded-fix/?src=search%20https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/photobucket-embedded-fix/?src=search Works...

Was out for a Sunday drive, and stopped at one of my favorite guitar shops. It is the Vintage Guitar Shop in Ashland NH. Great place, I did notice a Guild 12 string, something 112. I know "GAD" goes there. I bought Hans' book there probably 7 or 8 years ago. I was pawing through the music...

The big brown truck showed up yesterday with a large package for me, no surprise here. My 1964 Mark V Maple from Utah arrived in New Hampshire safe and sound. Bought it on ebay, seller did a great job packing. It has beautiful graining on the back and sides of maple. The guitar has been...

Musician and songwriter Leon Russell has died at the age of 74. He performed his gospel-influenced southern boogie piano rock, blues, and country music for over five decades, was inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame and the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2011. I remember him...

Getting ready to sell one of my non Guilds. For the most part I buy on CL and sell on ebay. This summer I bought a Guild (thank you AcornHouse) from Reverb. Thought I might look into selling on Reverb. Anyone had any luck? Cost? Ebay is what it is, but in a week it will gone. I can see...

We've lost another Rock n Roll giant from the early 60's. Bobby Vee has died of advanced Alzheimer's disease. I remember him as good looking, clean cut, young man. He had a string of hits and like many got pushed aside in the British invasion. I think Rubber Ball was my favorite song...

Heating season is now here which means time to dust off the humidifiers. Gave mine a good cleaning yesterday, it's been a long time (if ever). Wouldn't believe all the mineral type crap that I cleaned out. Also got out my little cheapie humidity gauge that I keep on my desk. Tom

Left to right: 1966 Mark IV Pearwood, 1967 Mark VI Brazilian and recently arrived 1986 Mark V EIR The Mark VI is the constant and the IV's and V's have been changed twice each. Tom
