Sounds like an awesome collaboration, Roger!

The Salvation Army is a worthy organization that helps a lot of people in need, and it should be a treat for you guys to work with them. Hope everything comes together tightly for your group, and that you will have many good memories from the endeavour.

Thanks for the tips and insights, everyone.

Perhaps I will just leave it as is. Sounds like I could create some irreversible troubles.

It's amazing how great some of these smaller bodied guitars can sound. Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull plays a really small parlour-style guitar, but it has great tone and projects very well.

Thanks for the comments;

I had them on stands, but this room is also were I tie flies and build fly rods, and there have been several close calls. Cords also get wrapped around the stands, and I almost crashed my Larrivee a while back with a cord. With them hanging, they're safe from all of that, unless the house collapses ... but there'll be bigger issues if that happens, eh?

Hi James ... welcome to Chordie!

Here's a website for song writers that has lots of useful info ... hope you find it as helpful as I have.

Thanks for the kind offer, Amy ...

I'm not on FaceBook, so I'll look into the Picasa app you mention.

Alpina may be having the same troubles I've had trying to load pics.

I spent a morning working with Amy's advice in another post, and after several hours just got frustrated and gave up. I tried setting up various on-line photo albums as suggested, but kept getting backed out, timed out, frozen out, etc. I also wasn't comfortable with a couple that wanted a lot a personal info ... don't want to be part of anyone's database building scheme! For what it's worth, I use Google Chrome as a browser.

If someone can provide a different type of direction on this subject, it would be helpful to a few of us, I'm sure.

Best wishes to you and Mrs. JJJ for a speedy recovery. It's an honor to know a man who took his marriage vows seriously, and that you're standing by your wife through these struggles.

Beamer ... is this the Bo Diddley gadget you're thinking of?

It wouldn't need a guitar stand to lean against the wall safely.

My oldest son (31 yrs of age) was struck down with bacterial meningitis in July 2012, so my wife and I dd a lot of reading about it and praying for Luke ... both were helpful.

Apparently the bacterial form is more aggressive and potentially deadly than the viral, but he got excellent care and made a full recovery in about 4-6 weeks. The bacterial strain seems to attack the spinal chord, causing initial stiffness in the neck and super-intense headaches. Along with the spinal inflammation is the speech and cognitive impairment you describe ... almost like being drunk or on hallucinogens. All of this, and from your use of the word "bombard", it sounds like your brother-in-law has the same kind. They'll pound him for several weeks with high-dosage antibiotics, and won't stop until they can't grow anything in his blood. He's likely under quarantine at the moment, and they'll maintain that until he's no longer contagious.

14 months later, our Luke has no after effects and is back running his construction company at full tilt. The first few weeks are critical, but it sounds as if Gary's getting the right type of treatment. It's fortunate that they diagnosed it time to get treatment going. The outlook wouldn't be so positive in a lot of third world countries ... we are blessed indeed!

Ed ... the account of the muskie and duck sounds like a "Far Side" cartoon. Crazy situation!
