Besides, you wouldn't want it! It has almost seventeen thousand miles on it! ;)
I would be buying it for my wife, she loves all things blue so I would not even have to consult her.

Re: Craigslist vs Facebook Marketplace

I check out the local CL almost everyday. The same Harley Bentons, Epis and other cheap imports are for sale day after day after day. Every now and again something interesting pops up but it will gone quickly. There are a few Gibsons but never a bargain.

Re: Craigslist vs Facebook Marketplace

So I saw this LTD TL-6 for sale on CL at less than half of retail. I went to meet the guy at GC so I could play it through an amp and properly check it out. I had to drive a little over an hour but was fine with that. He handed me the guitar and went to find a cable. I am checking it over and it has...

Congrats Mickey, I was going to say it looks like the one you had. Are you keeping the other one too? Is is for sale? Did you manual or automatic? I know I have a lot of questions.

Re: what tv shows everyone into right now

Typically the wife and I watch an episode or two each evening before I scurry off to bed. We subscribe to Netflix (no commercials). Currently we are in the middle of 8 seasons of Royal Pains. I cannot wait until it is over as it has not been my favorite. Other than that I watch old sitcoms or wester...

Re: Craigslist vs Facebook Marketplace

Market Place seems to have overtaken Craigslist around here. I do not have an active FB account so I can look but can't touch. I am hearing that AI is taking over all that stuff. The only way I was successful selling on CL in the last couple of years was offering deals that could not be passed up an...

Re: How do you listen to music these days?

Sirius mostly but I still tune into an FM station now and again. I swear though, the odds are 50/50 that when I hit the FM preset button there will be an Aerosmith song playing. Bluesville, Outlaw, Tom Petty Channel, Classic Vinyl, and Rewind are my usual "go to" channels on Sirius. At hom...

Re: Freakin' , 40th wedding anniversay, and no plan.. I am in touble!

Have you considered getting her a guitar? In case she does not take to it, I would make sure it is one you like so the expense is not wasted. Just kidding of course, Happy 40th and am sure she will appreciate whatever you plan. After all, she stuck around this long so you must be doing something rig...

Re: ShortWave Radio

When I was a kid growing up in Virginia, there was a little portable radio in my grandparent's basement where I slept when visiting on weekends. Late at night I could get WLS out of Chicago.
