Topic: Cool breeze

My dad was sorting through some of my Mom's old stuff and she came across a small envelop with my name on it in her handwriting.  He opened the envelop and it contained three silver dollars.  He knows I'm not into coin collecting, so he checked out their worth at the library then sold them to a numismatist and sent me the check.  $150 for three coins I didn't even know I had.  It's going straight into the boat/bass fund.  Another $850 and I can get a Martin 000-15M too (less for a The Loar arch top acoustic).

Re: Cool breeze

Well, I've already got two really nice acoustic guitars, so I'm likely not going to buy a The Loar or a Martin with the money unless I start getting into new styles of music and "need" a guitar better suited to them.  However, an AE bass is certainly possible and would allow me to get rid of the two electrics that I have.  I could also use some powered PA speakers and more mics and cables (much to my wife's dismay).
