Spot, where did I say most of the instruments you mentioned were lousy? And where did I mention that these artists you mention are either bluegrassers who play Martins or country performers who play Gibsons?

Leo Kottke is neither, and the others you mention are so obscure that really very few if anybody really cares.

The biggest joke is what's between your ears.

I may sound schoolboy, but you sure do sound like a snob.

At least I'm having some fun with it.
