No snow yet in Central NY ... tho it's chilly for sure!  I hear from the hunters that the deer were VERY late to go into rut this year... which likely means a very mild winter for us this year... or at least, a late start to winter.  That's ok... I wouldn't mind only 2 months of it instead of the 4-5 we usually get!

AMEN SISTER AMEN!!!!!  After the last two winters here, I need a serious break. 

No snow yet in the wilds of Western Maine in the foothills of the Mountains of Madness.  Though Mt. Washington has a white gleam in the distance, but then again they get snow every month of the year up there!

Are there chordians who "can do" the Moonwalk?

Yes, I can, when I was studying Mime long ago, it was one of the first things I learned and can actually still do.  It's not that hard actually.

"Swamp Witch" by Jim Stafford is drop D tuning.  And there are a few tunes by CS&N that use it as well.  "Daylight again" being one if memory serves me correctly.   Stephen Still seems to use it the most in his playing, unless my ears deceive me.

I always say something along the lines of: "well, I could be spending this money at a bar; guitars keep me home and relatively healthy". I must admit, while I have 12 or so guitars my approach is not 100% effective especially on the more expensive models

I'll have to remember that approach!  <grin>

Indeed, keep it clean or keep it out.  Or at least learn to use an asterisk.  <grin>
