    Respect to Dave Grohl....

    So, you're @ the White House playing for the President and the Honoree of the night...... Sir Paul. The show format is folks covering songs from Paul's career.

    Home Built Kit Bass from Amazon

    Built this from a $200 Amazon kit my GF got me as a surprise. It started out as a goof or something to hang on the wall, but it came out great.
