I have 2 "go to" guitars - an vintage 70'2 Vantage 12er - built like the proverbial brick outhouse,
and a recently acquired Gibson J-200 "Montana Gold" 120th anniversary edition, from the custom shop. - That Gibson has the slickest action and the greatest voice of all of my guitars, and has increased in value in a short time. Of course, they only made 10 of  the anniversary edition custom.

Bill, she had a stroke last year - and has been improving - still in bed, but manages to get to the bathroom on her own.
Thanks for you thoughts,
Randy

Check out the Fishman "Loudbox" series - around $600.00 Cdn, should be close to your price range.
Inputs for guitar and mics. Great sound.

Lions get no respect - 7-2 - wow no mention anywhere.

Still have 'em - sorry, have been pre-occupied - someone email me, and I will send it in about 3 weeks from now.

I am sorry for my absence, it has been an awful 6 months.
My wife sufferred a stroke Labour Day weekend, and has been slowly recovering. She lost a lot of memory and the paralysis on her left side has begun to fade.
To be honest, I have looked in on the site a few times, but between work and tending to my wife, I have not even thought about the picks package. I don't remember who responded to my original emal, except that the people who did respond had already received the package once.
I will attempt to send it off soon - so somebody give me an address, please, and it will be gone inside a week.
Again, I am sorry that I have been totally remiss in moving it forward, but will make ammends.

As an aside, in the early days after her stroke, when Patty was barely communicating, I would play and sing to her, and she actually sang along, somewhat. Doctors encouraged me to continue, and her vocal abilities are almost back to normal. She has memory "blackouts", stuff she just can't remember, but communicates as well as she dd pre-stroke. She is also gaining against the paralysis in her left arm, the leg has recovered about 90 percent. I can leave her alone at home now, without a full time attendant. We have a nurse that visits once a day, but my soon be able to cut that to a once or twice a week visit.

Her doctor believes that the music sparked her memories, and aided in "unscrambling" her thought processes, which allowed for a much more extensive and rapid recovery than we thought was possible. Musical miracle, I'd say, considering my limited attributes as a musician.

Anyway, once again, sorry for the lag,
Randy

Well, it's been a week - no takers on who's next? I haven't received any emails or replies - going to Riverside music this aft to see my friend George - then I will be ready to send it to the next lucky person.

Well, I live in Canada - Windsor, Ontario, Canada's deep south. What area of Canada were you looking to visit. Windsor is a 4 hr drive to Toronto or Niagara Falls, surrounded by the Great Lakes. Lots of fishing in the area, and I have a 14 foot fishing boat.
Shoot me an email with your dates, etc.

I agree with Phil. In 1968, the Monkees were NOT considered "subversive", they were called "bubble-gum".

Would love to go, but plans already set for this year

There is no glory in war. None.
