    I bought a banjo.

    A Morgan Monroe 5 string resonator. I play a lot with a country/bluegrass jam. We are guitar heavy, banjo light. We have fiddlers, mandolin players, bass players, and one banjo player that may or may not show up. I found out that I've been doing forward rolls on the ukulele for years. It should...

    Time in a bottle.

    This is just a reflection on time that will soon evolve into an "I have a cool watch" thread and that's fine. I dont expect much from it. I was in France earlier this summer and saw a clock in a town square that didn't have a minute hand. The guide said that when they built the tower with the...

    How many?

    Has this been asked before? Probably, it seems like a topic that might come up often. How many do you have? I have three, a Guild D-20, a Taylor Mini, and a Gretsch Streamliner. Nothing on the horizon for now.

    Nail your spot in the band.

    I'm just sitting here doing nothing right now. It is a hundred and three outside. A little later I have to go out to a friend's house to check out some stuff we are doing this weekend at a gig he came up with. I did not grow up playing in bands since I was a teenager. I got into it late in life...

    L.R. Baggs M1?

    I have been playing with a group and they have done a couple outside gigs. Mostly a country/bluegrass group, but Bob Dylan seems to sneak a song or two into the mix once in a while. I really need to be able to plug in. I have a 50w acoustic amp. I'm playing a D-20. I'm looking at the L.R. Baggs...

    Thoughts and prayers.

    I just got back late Sunday night from a river cruise in France with a pre cruise extension in Paris and a post cruise extension in England. Monday morning I tested and found out that what I thought was a cold is actually covid. Dang, I'm a two timer, this is the second time. And I've been...

    The honey do list.

    I'm sorry, but when someone refers to their "honey do list" I just cringe. It does not leave a flattering image in my head. My first thought, are you incapable of figuring out what needs to get done yourself, or are you letting things go and need a supervisor to keep you on track? Either way...

    Guild D-40

    I ventured into the world of Guild with a D-240e. I bought it because it has a bit of a country twang to it that I liked the first time I played it in the store. I think it is a pretty nice guitar but when you get right down to it though it isn't a very prestigious guitar. I mean, it is a $475...

    Iconic arched back pays tribute to Guild's early acoustics.

    I have a Guild D-240e. I like the guitar and for no particular reason I like the arched back. I have a Taylor GS Mini as well and it too has an arched back. A fellow who wanted to talk about them the other day said that to arch the back like that they have to use laminates and I'm not sure what...
