"It's not enough to know that the body of your old guitar is made of spruce and maple: What's the bridge made of? If it's ebony, do you have the paperwork to show when and where that wood was harvested and when and where it was made into a bridge?"

All I know is it was kinda of interesting that just last week Washington DC was hit by an earthquake and then pumelled by a hurricane..... I wonder if that's a sign?

Maybe it would be a good thing if the government shut down and would leave everybody alone....


I tried to warn those guys on the petenera thread....I guess I should stay off those topics all together.
