Picks Around the World (Page 7 of 17)

Failte Topdown,

Conas Atá Tú ?, [ How are you ?]

Your doing a splendid job with this thread. You know i really enjoyed going through the picks
last evening. Its fantastic to think this little package has traveled so many miles. I shall be sending it
on this week. I already have the next recipient, im happy to relate. I will post  here on chordie, as soon as it leaves my hands
With An Post..

A personal Thank You" Topdown to you and Your picks around the world idea.

Old Doll.

Ps. The Dublin Marker is fine for the map.

Thanks for the picture Doll!  It's already changed quite a bit since I had it just a few people ago (and quite a few miles!).  Topdown, thank you again for this fantastic project!

I got a box from Eye-er-land!

(Sorry for the mis-spelling, but to make it fit the schoolyard chant meter that was in my head, I had to spell it phonetically)

I am not feeling well tonight, so have taken some cold medicine and gone to bed early (I am typing this on my laptop, literally with the computer on my laptop in bed).  I will open it tomorrow and have a lovely time sorting through all manner of goodies and whatnot. 

Who's next?  First e-mail gets it. 

- Zurf

You are the first.  Though I think we're supposed to be keeping the next person in line a secret, so shhhhhhhh. 

- Zurf

Hey Zurf - Do you have a gmail account so you can update the map yourself? If not, post or email your town info and I'll take care of it.

I finally got around to opening the package from Old Doll, and while I cannot attest to her age I can attest to her being a doll.  There was a little extra something in there for me and I guarantee that I will enjoy it: a nifty little song-book of Irish Ballads that can be played with six chords.  There's a picture on the front of a guy playing a banjotar, which is something I've been considering (along with about a million other things). 

I've added a couple items, removed a couple items - hopefully trading up to improve the overall.  There was a kazoo in there that my youngest daughter immediately scooped up and began to play, so she's excited too! 

The box will be off to the overeager mystery recipient next.  ;-)

- Zurf

p.s.  My youngest daughter says "Thanks for the red kazoo."  She has been playing it non-stop (except for dinner) since we opened the package.

Failte Zurf,

If the weathers cold and you have onions make this soup. Great in winter weather[ actually great at any time ] also good medicinal properties.

Be well and warm.
ps Im glad your wee girl is enjoying the kazoo.

Hi All!!!!

The picks are in motion again. I just received the package today. Some very interesting stuff in there. Especially the picks with teeth marks in them, not. My son is enjoying the giant pick (4" long) and a finger pick. I took a few and added a few. Very cool that some of these items have seen so many miles around the world.

First to e-mail me gets it next.

Picks are on the move again. Mailed out the package yesterday to the next lucky recipient.

I'm glad your kid liked that ginormous pick.  I dropped that in there.  It's a promo item from my neighborhood music shop.  I put in a couple felt picks for the ukelele players too. 

- Zurf

Sorry I have been slack in keeping up with the map. Working a new job out of town is keeping me busy. Glad to see the package continuing to move. Latest update is 42,267 miles. Updated map link below:

If anybody wants to assist with keeping up the map (Amy, hint, hint ), let me know. All you need is a gmail address and I can add you as a collaborator.

ETA - Badeye - I'm curious, is the next person in-line a new recipient or another repeat?

Whoops!  I actually have neglected this thread quite a bit... I promise to keep my eyes open and jump in on the map help!
