I saw the byrds mentioned a few times. Roger McGuinn has been pumping out 12's for a long time, with the Byrds and alone. There are a few tabs up on the Byrds page at:

Re: Learning to Sing AND play (35 replies, posted in Acoustic)
It's been awhile since I went through the transition from "singing or playing" to "singing and playing", but I remember taking a different route. I played the guitar and started talking while playing. Probably sounded like a real boob to anyone that may have heard me, but it progressed fairly quickly to where the playing was automatic and the singing blended right in.

GSE,
I see Peavey KBs on CraigsList in the Orlando area frequently. Early this month was a KB/A 100 and before that a KB 300. Might still have them.

Re: acoustic guitar amps (24 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Another idea for you:
Myself and friends do a lot of parking lot jams where we don't have a place to plug in, so we have battery-powered amps. What I use is a Fender Amp Can and several of the others have Peavey Solos. Lately I've seen a few of the Crate Taxi models, too. All give you instrument/mic and enough control to adjust levels and sound a little bit. We play with traffic noise and there are enough listeners and noise-makers that we can't get away with being unplugged entirely, but we don't need high volume. They're pretty reasonably priced and a nice addition to whatever sound stuff you may already have.
I use an older Crate CA-60 and/or my PA setup for when I need bigger acoustic sound. My Crate Vintage Club 50 and Fender Deville don't work as well acoustically and I like the mike option on the CA-60.

Re: Ukulele players out there? (115 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
Benny Martin played Ukulele on an old album with John Hartford. Album title was "Slumberin' on the Cumberland". It was a nice collection of songs and I wish I still had it.
Martin made a believer out of me, showing that a uke is a very flexible instrument. I think he was a fiddle player, but he got some great sounds out of the uke.
