I would put my picture up, but must admit to being a real goober where computers are concerned. I'm a total techno idiot - did not even have a cell phone until about four weeks ago. Just so yall know, I am a 61 year old bald guy - answer to the names of Tom - hey you - dad - papaw - old man - and a bunch of other names I can't print in polite society.

Re: Build your own Martin (6 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
A martin guitar kit sounds like a great retirement project, - only a few more years to go. I enjoy working with wood and have all the equipment needed for such a project. Thanks for the info bswyers. My wife likes the idea as it will keep me from disappearing into woods on our mountains for days at a time.

Re: acoustic pic ups (7 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I use a John Pearse pickup, no preamp is required. Where you mount it on your geetar is up to you, different spots give different sounds so experiment. I use command adhesive strips to attach it, they are removable and don't damage the finish on my geetar.

Hang in there Butch, yea the boredom I can relate to - being stuck in a body cast for over a year due to a motorcycle crash years ago. Back then we didn't have VCR's or DVD's - saw every episode of andy griffith, doctor who and all the charlie chan movies. Daytime TV was bad back in those days too. Be patient and keep us posted on your progress.

Re: What are you playing right now?? (139 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hey Pix, its the color of my favorite cherokee. Sadly she is no longer with us but the memory lives on, best rock crawler I ever had. Someday hope to buy her twin and visit the old cemetary on chimney top mountain again. And to bring us back on topic - Zurf, earlier in this thread you were working on Will The Circle Be Unbroken, nice to know someone is playing an old favorite. I live near the Carter Fold, this song was originally recorded as Can The Circle Be Unbroken, and is often performed on the stage as a tribute to the memory of A.P., Sara and Maybelle. If your ever in the area on a saturday evening and want to hear some good old time country and bluegrass and watch some of the best cloggers - come to The Carter Fold.
