I've eaten there! 20 years ago I went to Toledo to pick up a parrot that someone needed rehomed. I had to overnight there, and they took me to Packo's and also bought me a Mudhens cap.

The first time we ate at TP's was when Rare Blend did a show at the, now defunt, Mickey Finn's Pub in Toledo in the mid '00s. One other time, while going through Toledo on our way back from picking up a rare lefty Rickenbacker guitar (in So. Mich.) for a friend (in London, UK, he's a lefty) we stopped there to eat. I wonder if they deliver to our area? :laugh:

Beans, I feel that everyone is trying to pitch in protecting the public. A lot of store managers might misinterpret directives from the Feds and are trying to do the right thing. It really is too bad we don't have a clear vision on a national level. Wash hands, stay home, and wash hands!

A PSA regarding shaking hands. :thumbsup:

I see a musical saw, it makes me think of Hide In Your Shell by Supertramp. Ken Scott tells a story of when he was recording their album Crime Of the Century at Abbey Road. They brought a guy in to play a musical saw with no backing tracks. They mixed the tape of the saw into the song, much like was done on many Beatle songs. It was one of those happy accidents and it really helps make the song.

It's fitting to have a musical saw on Hide In Your Shell.

Who would have figured that people still play saws and there are cases.

Something we would have seen on Jack Paar. BTW, footage of the Beatles performing in England appeared on Jack's show on January 3 1964, a month before Sullivan.

NOT the solo instrument you want to hear from another room! :woot:

And there I always thought those old sci-fi movie soundtracks used the space age theremin. (sigh) Another childhood fantasy blown apart. :(

So I just tried to see if I could play this at home. I ended up sawing my bow in half in the first 30 seconds of the song.

I wonder if I was holding the saw the wrong way?

I blame it on being left handed... :eek:

French or German are your only viable options. Polish bowing...what did you expect?
