Quite the collection you have there.
The 60's are over-rated IMO. 8^]]
Except for Hendrix.

Have a mandolin myself and used to noodle around with
the banjo. We just purchased an upright and also have
a Yamaha synth. Played the upright bass in chorus as a
kid.

Would love to have a D-45 but couldn't justify the price tag.
A nice little Ovation would suit me if I was still playing out. But that is a different kettle of fish.
Mother was born in Brooklyn and went to college in Oswego.
Have been to NYC many times. It is an interesting place to visit.
You couldn't pay me enough to live there though.

This redneck does just fine in the city.
Still have family on LI.

Don't forget to take out the g'bage.

BTW Abalone comes from,,, wait for it....
the Abalone shell. A cold water bi-valve.
It is said to be good vittles, haven't eaten one yet but
hope to next time in CA.

One of my favorite guitarists is Skunk Baxter.

You've been following Skunk's later career as a military consultant, right? Yeah, he's a great player.

Newbie, in answer to your questions and comments:

I do play guitar but not well yet. Taking lessons from one of the best
instructors here. Problem is we know all the same people from years gone
by, many of whom he taught and we spend half the time BSing about the
60's. I need to unlearn some erroneous fingering and I have trouble with
bar chords. You have a D45 now or just craving one? I crave a Gibson
J200. Like the deepness. I have a Martin 000X1. I have a Cordoba
classical and an Epiphone, Gibson's cheaper line. It was a gift, not bad
but too bulky for me. The Martin is my baby though! It has a thinner
body and fits my body better. And the sound....so sweet.

I also have and play piano, have a Baldwin spinet, a violin and mandolin
and a small Casio piano. Have an accordian and a zither which I can't
play, bongo drums and some strange African instrument someone gave me.
The apartment is starting to look like Sam Ash (east coast store) or
something from The Twilight Zone. Music is my life. I come from a family
of musicians, my Dad was well known. This is my favorite topic but it's
off topic so I don't want to take up too much time and space here. So
many stories though...

Abalone is not a stone? Oh yeah, it's a shell from some kind of sea
creature, I think.

21st birthday is long gone as is your other reference. The only thing
left are a couple of virgin teeth. Happy belated birthday! Email some
cake.

What I mean by rednecks is that they wouldn't fare well here. I live in
New York City and we don't tolerate rednecks and rarely encounter them
except as tourists. I love tourists, I tell them where to go, what's
worth seeing here but have to break the news to them that the beatniks
are gone and the village they're looking for has lost its authenticity.

If you have your reunion in NY and you want steak, I've heard Peter
Luger is really good, never been there myself though. Fall in New
England is unbelievable, I agree. So is upstate NY but something about
New England churches surrounded by foliage. New Fane, Vermont was one of
the most idyllic towns I've ever experienced.
