Spoiler: Yes

I beat on the guitar as I am only self taught with limited skills. i played as a teen and a little as an adult. I decided to get a new guitar, so I picked this up in Nazareth. This ended a lusting that has lasted a half century.

My renewed interest in guitar stems from “The other favorites” on YouTube. His name is Joshua Lee Turner and I highly recommend you check out his channel at Josh Turner Guitar. Josh is the first guy playing on this video. An old favorite for people of the right age. This video was his Thank You for passing 10 million views.

So what model is that?

Pretty much everybody at that camp was light years beyond me, too - the instructors included Chuck Rainey, Victor Wooten, John Patitucci, Matt Garrison, Steve Bailey, Anthony Wellington, and Dave Welsch... And that's not even counting the "jam band" Victor brought in on the last night of camp: I never thought I'd be on stage as the bassist with the Wooten Brothers (Regi, Roy, and Joseph) and a half dozen Nashville studio players/singers. It was an awesome experience.

Spoiler: Yet more off-topic pix

Regi Wooten taking a solo while I play bass (can't remember name of the Nashville picker behind us; great player, though):

And me with Chuck Rainey the day he saw the aura:

(Sorry about the crappy cell phone pics, and whoever took the picture of me and Chuck apparently had the shakes, but the rule is "pics or it didn't happen"...)

Is there something special about cigar Leeds? I have not seen one without bad bend or straight up loose grain.

FYI, I am going to find a way to get a burnished olive weave strand. Even if I have to stuff it with paper.

PSA: 66% off Canali at Nordies. Haven’t seen that cheap in years.

Back to AE- when’s the next trunk show so I can get some navy shell finally?

The tropical storm is churning up the coast and that means a solid wet day. Time for the Thousand Oaks. I was under the impression these were reverse chamois. The 2016 catalog hedges their bet and says they are "nubuck-like", whatever the heck that means. That and rubber lug soles means they are the go to shoe for such a day.

Strandmoks for the farmers market and then daydrinking by the pool.

Last night we did have a little rum.
