Hey Midchuck, "This Ol' Martin", maybe the best guitbox song ever written, Jeez, can Tom Russell turn a phrase or what?

I've had my Gibson J-45 for 15 years now. It needs a little work because the piezo pickup which constitutes the bridge has become a problem. Ya know what? I don't care, because I never plug it in. I know it needs to go to the shop, and I will take it to Mandolin Brothers eventually, but since I switched to lighter strings, there is no buzz. I just don't want to part with it, for even a week!

Recently, on my forays to music shops, I have been playing Taylors, which sound so sweet it is almost criminal. I haven't picked up a bad one yet! Believe me, there are no bad Taylors, but, "This 'Ol Gibson Guitar", lordy, lordy. I don't care what anyone says, the proof is in the pickin'!
