After I use up my All-Weather (it'll take about 12 years), maybe I'll try a softer grade.

Pirastro was watching Kolstein's three all weather Petz you know kolstein he is either hard or soft. When along came the three Tomastik's and the three Hidersine's, when Nyman and Carlsson came up talking Swedish. They were either talking about Pop's sticky situation with Bernadel or Annette Funacello.
Sorta Gertrude Stein meets Don deLillo kinda thing....

First, I was not the one who mentioned the acoustic guitar, that would be my friends the guitarists. Also, by conventional (it may not have been the right word to use) I meant it looks today as it did when it began, not what its origins were. | But this makes no sense as your poll says "(going back all the way to stand up bass)" you can't have it both ways - you have to compare like with like. It's plainly ridiculous to say, you are going to compare a "conventional" guitar with bass "going all the way back...." !!

Great quote Ed!

This thread would get to big in BG O.T. and would end up turning into a Feildy is better than God thread. |
