No cheap Nintendo copies
It is a late 1800s or early 1900s. The first tuning mark says 1907. My MIL painted it antique green as the finish had turned very dark. I thought it was mahogany from the color and grain under the lid. Once stripped, it was clearly American Walnut. Tung oil with steel wool between coats did the trick.
Arh…. no.
they both look great. The bridge pickup on the new one is a little further south?
Is it back again? I love Spotify. But I have him on vinyl and disc so that’s how I usually listen. I’ll have to check tonight.
Thomas plugs it in for the first time!….yep, sounds like a TBird all right…..

Man, I think you got a natural player there.
Looks like you did a good job painting that wall. Maybe the piano is covering the bad areas?
Isn't Nintendo Japanese for bacon?

It came out beautifully.
Ok. I just checked it. It looks like almost everything is back on Spotify. Thank you for telling me my friend. I don’t even care if it’s seen as a sellout move to push concert ticket sales. 6.9 million monthly listeners aren’t wrong.
That really does look great.
Yes they are...
I prefer covers of his songs. That nasal whiney voice is too much.Glad I could let you know that he was back. I think everyone who left in solidarity with him quickly realized the futility of the protest. Once he was on his own, I think the resolve evaporated.
I know Marshall will not appreciate that as much as I did, but I cracked up. I'm sure Marshall did not. But all in good fun.
Thought this was an interesting conversation about what happened to rock music. One lesson is that a lack of competition is a bad thing.
I would suggest that it is a partly accurate characterization of his music. He was doing garage band rock in the late 60s & 70s and grunge was the 90s garage band response to the increasingly over-produced hair metal of the 80s.
Yes, nuance etc. but I would say at the root, not an inaccurate characterization. Plus, plaid flannel shirts.
Unrelated to anything, but something I thought cool. I'm on the board of directors of two Sr housing apartment buildings. The CFO from the management company came to the meeting last week. We had never met and were talking and come to find out she was at Woodstock. I have never knowingly met anyone who was there and thought it pretty cool. I'm not sure how old she was, but I told her they should have been ashamed to let a 12 yr old into such a place. She smiled and winked.
My mom was going to take my brother and I, I had come to find out not long after the event.
But could never get the reason why she backed out.
After she took us to the movie when it was released. I thought.
Maybe it was for the best.

Agree. All good humor must have an element of truth to it.
Have I ever mentioned my bat poop nutty sociology prof (chair of the dept!) who also wore plaid flannel shirts? No I guess I haven't as it would get me banned as it ventures onto on the forbidden topics.
This is not unique to the music business. Let me tell you about the outrageous "overhead" charges and "service" fees that Universities have for an inventor's company in which they hold equity once it is funded by venture capital. And then there are a few venture capitalists (not all, but a few unscrupulous ones) that once they fund a company, charge monthly "management" fees.
