I watch two sports events per year. 1. The Georgia versus Georgia Tech football game (I'm a Tech fan.) and 2. The Superbowl (only for conversation purposes). I generally don't even know whose playing until the kick-off. No, I don't live under a rock. I just prioritize sports viewing very low. There are so many other things more rewarding to me.

On my way to Europe yesterday I met another American at the Amsterdam airport. I had my guitar and he was carrying a TROMBONE! Talk about a commitment to music, I've seen many guitars in airports but never a trombone. I struck up a conversation with him - how could I resist? He told me he always travels with his trombone and plays regularly as a "drop-in" wherever he goes. We were both waiting on a plane to Tbilisi, Georgia where i'm sure he will find somewhere to play. How cool is that?

There are several venues here where one could plug-in and play but I'm not quite ready for that. Although all the local "pub" music is American and British and sung in English even though the singers don't always know what they are singing and sometimes are reading the lyrics. Always a good time though and you have to give them credit, they are playing and singing and I am watching.

I'd love to abandon TV! Jerome you are right on about women and TV purchases, my experience too.

Mekidsmom,
Good strategy.

Back in the 1980s I obtained (10) 8th row tickets to see him perform in Atlanta. I gave a pair of tickets to my friend (he took my sister to the concert) and I SOLD the rest! Still scratching my head on this one.

Jerome +1 on the HD comparison. I suppose the un-scalloped bracing makes them LOUD and therefore suitable (or required) for Bluegrass?

Two more days.

The Martin 15 series is my favorite! Congratulations, I'm sure you will enjoy this new instrument. Pics please!

GAS attack! Can I make it out of the country before I quench this with a purchase?

Passed on a used (pretty old for S&P) Simon & Patrick Spruce/Rosewood Dreadnought. It had been sitting a long time, needed a little work, and if it had been satin I might have bought it. I actually told the seller how to re-word her ad on CL to improve interest. I also suggested she increase her price! And because I broke the (very old) G string trying to tune it I gave her a new set of strings. By the way: no E, No cut-away.

My wife is fascinated by the Royal Wedding. She was up at 4am on Friday to watch. I watched about five minutes of it - the vows, etc. I figure I will get a chance to see the other parts over the course of the next month or so. I think it is a significant historical event and I am happy for the British people but I cannot really understand what it all means.

I travel to Europe next week where I will see a English business associate. I've already exchanged emails with him regarding this (and the game of Cricket). I told him I'd buy the beer if he answered my questions.

Alvee: it's on EVERY channel in the U.S. as well.
