Hey, you must be Jo King! Sorry, it had to be said. Btw, you sound like someone I know who has this guitar affliction as bad as me.

But what do you mean "maiden submission"? That's real folksong material isn't it? It's been a long time since I've had a maiden submit to me, the bloom being off the rose a bit here.

Welcome aboard the good ship Mudcat, where you need that hardshell case (and thick skin).

Peace. Mooh.
