This post?

A NAMM show debut?

Your allegiance to a particular unnamed baseball team that shall remain unnamed.

How it managed to snow "up" in downtown Chicago yesterday!

The fact that I just realized (literally....just realized as I was typing this) that several Blueberry Hill Roscoes are being featured in the Roscoe add on the left margin of my screen.

If Joe ever leaves the Roscoe Forum

If Joe SHOULD ever decide to leave the Roscoe forum, why in the world he would make such a foolish decision.

I don't know...prolly something to do with that photo you posted in this thread.

Eh. For me, if it's gonna have a maple fretboard, it'd better be black. I'da gone with rosewood or wenge or something.

Looks like the cleaning lady hasn't been in this decade. Nice Bass though.

I stopped by the Roscoe shop today and I can neither confirm nor deny that the so called Roscoe bass in the picture is a bass at all. As a matter of fact it could just be a downed weather balloon.

Ohhhhhhhh!
If it's a Michael Vick football then it's definitely not a Dawg football!


P.S. Joe is still in the Roscoe forum glutching tightly to his Roscoe 3006 with one hand and typing furiously with his other!

Economy Roscoe? Probably still be out of my price range. After looking at expenses today, I'm thoroughly depressed....
