Thanks for the memories! I cut my strumming teeth on Oscar's "Bawdy Songs & Backroom Ballads" LPs back in the day. Tonight I'll be digging around in my old vinyl collection, trying to find them!
cheers

Say "hi" to Charlotte.
Well...in a effort to get back on track with this thread, I have found a number of beaters at my local dump. There's a shed there where you can leave or take stuff that's still 'good'.
I've come away with quite a bit, as well as left some stuff ( you have to appease the Shed-Gods from time to time).
I've gotten a no-name sorprano uke, a peavey patriot bass, 2 japanese acoustics ( one is a HiLo) that look like the old harmony stella. Those are all hanging on the shop wall, as well as an early korean guitar called a Noble ( very cool rising-sun paint job on the top).
And a westerly guild JF-65 that's cut it half...the long way.
yard sales are another source for beaters...although most people think the unplayables are still worth alot of money.
And remember to talk to everybody you meet about guitars, you never know who has what sitting in an attic. A lot of guitars have been built, i'm willing to bet that most are still out there somewhere.

Hey!!! I resemble that remark... At my former ad-hoc "recycling depot" you might even find a clock for the sound-hole :lol:
yea, one of the ukes i found had been converted to a bird house. fortunately it never had residents. a tin roof was hot-glued over the sound-hole, a screw was put thru the top for a perch and a hole drilled thru the headstock to hang it from.
I guess somebody had a very low opinion of that uke.
