Blah, blah, blog

Everyone is doing so why shouldn't we?

I'm, (AHEM!) having my website updated and rebuilt in anticipation of my phoenix like return of interest in the dullards and thieving rouges who play flamenco guitars, but in the mean time I'm going to blog at this abode:

http://hieronymusguitaricus.blogspot.com/

There's nothing there yet, but if you leave nasty and inconsiderate comments in advance to fire my imagination and ego inflated sense of entitlement, self loathing and general disgust of all things having to do with the fabrication and sale of flamenco guitars, I may rise to the occasion and grant a few stories and pictures of stuff I have laying around.

But seriously, I'm working long, long days to make guitars and get all the orders done I have now. Last year was extremely bad for me personally and I want to make sure these next years are always moving me to being a better guitar maker and an even more horrible world citizen. In anticipation of my eventual Total Domination TM of the guitar world I am making available my newest modelo flamenco, introducing The Hosni Mubarak signature series.

Just kidding. I may blog if you taunt me enough. And it will be fun and informative, professional? ......nah. But I will continue to post my totally useless posts here too.

Thank you in love and baby frogs,
Stephen

I will cut you up like a watermelon if you take longer than next June to finish. )

You mean my personal war to rid the universe of commercial rosette scum? Will Do!

Or actually I am going to post some pictures of a Santos rosette I was allowed to photograph a few days ago. I'll put one up here too.

Splinters aside some bikini clad babes playing in the wood shavings couldn't hurt. One question though, does the limited edition Mubarek come with a bag of stones to throw at it?

Big stones, and if you buy one I make sure you get mummified and buried in a pyramid when you die.

Also as sick and ****ed up as I am, I will not post sexy naked women on my blog because I'm simply not a sexist. I will post the work of a female guitar maker if there is one who's work I like and they give me permission. And I will have women flamenco dancer friends contribute the occasional guest post about dancing and music.

Your right naked women would be too sexy that's why I said bikini clad, man get your mind out of the gutter lol. On a serious note I'd love to see more women involved in flamenco in general, guitar playing, building and of course dancing, helping promote this would be a good.
