My 1960 Gibson 330 and my grandson, Casey who was 9 at the time.

Very astute, Jerome. Guitars have a positive correlation with sailboats as well as motorcycles. I always take a guitar along on my sailboat. Have yet to find a practical way to transport a guitar (or tuba) on a motorcycle.
Bill Moore, I also learned the hard way not to scare the ladies.
I had my wife and her cat aboard my sailboat in a big wind. I refused to lower sail and motor. She took her cat and her gear home forever. That was two years ago.

I love it, BGD. If you can't be totally truthful, you get into the spirit of the occasion. After all, it's only sleaze. I bet you guys had big fun.

Sounds like you need a mixer, Pete.

Very good, Steelstrings. Another "Buying a Bird"

This guy wanted to buy his mother something really nice for her birthday. She lived alone and he decided a talking bird would be fun company for her.
He went to a pet shop and inquired about a bird that could talk. The pet shop guy said, "I have several talking birds but I must recommend this one parrot as the very finest." The customer asked what was so special about this bird. Pet shop guy replied, "He is my best talker and he speaks in five languages - but he costs $600."
"$600-wow", says the customer. 'I'll pay that if he's that good." And he did and had the bird shipped to his mom's address..
A few days later he called up his mom and asked, "Hey mom, how did you like that bird I sent you?" She said, "I loved it. He was delicious."
The son replied, "Mom, I can't believe you ate that bird. I paid $600 for him. He spoke five languages."
His mom replied, "Well, he should have said something."

@Buzzwagon and Dino48. You guys are absolutely right. That old 400 can scare the pants off some 750's. People come alongside me at stop lights and try to buy that old RD out from under me.

Good to hear from Cam. Hope your 49ers do better than they did this week when the Saints went through 'em like groceries through a goose.

:)

He's got a capo on 2 but his guitar is tuned down 2 half steps so alls I had to do was play C,F and G in standard (440) tuning.
Chords are C, F and G until a bridge that goes Dm, F, C, Am,Dm,FFF,G.
Then back to C,F and G.
Repeat all above until a second, different bridge that goes:
E,Am,E,Am,F,C,F,G,C,F,G etc...
Next bridge goes: Dm,F,C,A major,Dm,FFF,G, Dm,FFF,G,Dm,FFF,G
Then, C,F,G until they are done.
Boogie 'til you puke,

Phil, next month I'll be 70. I keep thinking I'm over the hill but things keep popping up that I still enjoy doing.
I got caught in a sudden rain on my motorcycle yesterday. As long as my speed was less that 45MPH the rain drops didn't hurt. It was such a hot day I enjoyed getting soaked.
I played a surprise lunch gig at a local eatery. I got to play out my music jones and got paid, tipped and fed. Loved that.
i huff and puff but I can still crawl about on my sailboat and make it go when the breeze blows.
I keep thinking I will feeb out and cease to enjoy what is left in my life. Not today or tomorrow that I can tell. Since I have no control over the day I loose control, I have decided not to worry about it for now.
Your poem describes a life lived as a gentleman with many of the things you enjoy still available to you. With little to regret and much to look forward to, there is much happy to be had in your future.
May your smiles be many and your tears few, sir.

rproulx, "Dear Abby" is the one John Prine song I had to add to my collection. "Signed Noisemaker"
