I had a fire in the fireplace last evening and I just spent an hour picking up kindling on the property for the next few days. While we have not had temps below freezing it is quite cool for this part of Florida. I am good with it. I do not think I could live where it is that cold and I know the wi...

They are calling for the most snow accumulation here in the Florida Panhandle than at any time in recorded history.
So I guess this is a historic storm.
Myself, I'd rather see snow than ice any day!

I don't keep any sort of schedule, so I'm around at odd hours & can usually zap them in the small hours of the morning.

Looking for anyone with Harley Benton experience. Acoustic experience even better. I am feeling the GAS for a dreadnaught acoustic guitar to compliment my Takamine EF340-S (a nice and old Martin D-18 clone) and am vacillating on different models and brands. Like many folks here, I feel I am hunting...

I am sad to say that my favorite singing group of all time is now just Paul.
Mary died in 2009 and cancer got Peter this past week.
I miss Peter, Paul & Mary.

271 huh!?. You do know that you have a problem, right? I realized I had a problem at 75. Now I am at 37 or under. About half are acoustics. In the old days I had 74 electrics and 1 acoustic. Since retiring from the Tonebenders I have concentrated on playing the acoustic. LOL, not sure that I was cu...

I may look into another service. TMobile Home Internet sounds interesting. I have Spectrum and I just do not like cable companies. Jeff, before you jump on T-Mobile............remember the service is about the same from T-Mobile, ATT or Verizon. Like using cable internet, the service is faster duri...

I converted my 1985 Takamine E340-S to a bone nut and bridge decades ago. Having a revived interest in acoustics, I've been wondering how to get more volume & sustain (especially in the bass frequencies) and wandered across the subject of bridge pins. My Tak currently has the original black pla...

Well the review is not quite up to Phoenix Moppy Cleaning Service (or whatever that was called) but a lot more helpful to many I'm sure. I hope so. Until now there have not been much of anything in the way of "good" choices for folks (like me) who live in the more rural parts of the count...

Until now I have used two internet feeds (ATT DSL & ATT 4G wireless home phone/internet) Today both got replaced with ATT Internet Air which is their new offering using 5G cellular network. It is for folks like me who can get neither fiber to the home nor cable TV. ATT says their DSL network is ...

And all this time I thought a "horizontal wall" was called a floor or a ceiling.

I thought there was a law against bluegrass and electricity, other than mics, amps & speakers?
Or is that just in Kentucky?

We had a line of thunderstorms come thru about 05:30 Sunday morning and I have been internetless since lightning fried my muldem.
I had a spare in a box but it has taken from then to now to get it back working!
Not to mention FIVE DIFFERENT ATT techs!!!

11:30ish Saturday morning:
68 degrees, mostly overcast but clearing.

My father (born in 1913) always said "It was the tariffs that put the "great" in "The Great Depression." "

I wish us luck but have little to no hope!

I believe a banjo is a lot like Scottish bagpipes in that you either love the sound of it or its sound affects you like a the sound of a fingernail scraping on a chalkboard.

Perhaps he means he assembled it himself?????
That's my best guess anyway.

One that plays itself, with absolute perfection, any tune in any genre! Aside from that, I can't think of anything.

Never fear! It will!

Kewl! One of my favorite features on my current vehicle is it's ability to let me play music off a thumb drive. I keep 4 in the car, each carrying over 1,000 sings I have loaded onto them. Each contains a particular "genre' (I am using that term pretty loosely) they are: Christian R and B Jazz...

Yep!

I went the opposite direction with my Agile Harm that came with AlNiCo P90's,
I had T.V. Jones wind me a TVJ Classic & Classic Plus in a P90 size/profile.
