I'm an accountant and as such I watch a lot of business news. I love it more than music actually. I'm watching Your $ on CNN right now. They are talking about jobs. They featured DAddario due to the fact that he's a manufacturer and hasn't laid a ton of people off. He believes you retrain them to do something else. He recenlty bought a strap company and moved jobs FROM China TO his RI factory. XL's were already my favorite string but I started playing with a pick recently. From now on I'm going to play with DAddario picks only and if I ever need another strap I'll look for a DAdario one.

It's nice to see corporate leaders do something other than "take the money and run." With such an approach to business, who knows? -- we might crawl out of this hole yet.

Don't hear about that many stand up American business men these days |

To think this will last long is naive, but it's nice while it lasts. |

| | | | I suppose accountants don't need to know the difference in "peace" and "piece". Or maybe Daddario was trying to make peace.

Goodwill toward men. | realized it 5 minutes after I posted it.
No offense, I scored in the 98 percentile on the GMAT which is 20 percentiles than I scored on the math section so I should have caught it.
