I walked into a dog-eared bar in Mobile, Alabama where my band had a six-night gig for several months. I stepped up on the band stand and began taking my guitar out of it's case when I heard a someone whisper my name. I looked around and saw our bass player lying under a nearby table. He pointed toward the bar. I looked around and saw two guys - each with a pistol pressed into each other's neck. A absolute standoff.
I continued to get ready for work. I told the bass player that no way would these clowns shoot. It took a few minutes for the lady bar owner to sweet talk these thugs into putting their guns away.
Now that I'm older, I realize what an idiot I was. There ARE people stupid enough to pull the trigger in a situation as tense as that.

Like the paisley pick guard.
if I had long skinny fingers that could move like that I would be a far richer man.

Hi Jerry, I Binged up Spotify. It is something you have to down load.
Downloads make me nervous. Do you recommend this, sir?

It makes a lot of sense. Request cards help the DJ remember the requests and enables him to line the requests up in order.
If more than one request is listed on a card the DJ can use some discretion working them in with his line-up.

A big store like Guitar Center has stocks of single strings in most any size. You can buy single strings and mix and match.

I put stickers all over my guitar case. My axe remains unadorned.

This is a relevant issue these days. Almost everyone has an opinion one way or another. The drug war is a mess. People are suffering whether they deserve it or not.
I smoked cigarettes for 45 years, pot for 40. I quit tobacco when I found I had heart disease. I quit pot when the weight gain became a problem.
Sobriety is a fun trip all it's own. I finally am free of any need to smoke anything and what a relief it is. Both habits took their toll on my health.
The current generation doesn't need to smoke anything either but they must chose and live with the consequences. I am inclined to discourage drug use including alcohol but in a free country all can decide for themselves.
God willing we can stay free.
