Yes Michael K. Be advised that shipping charges are much cheaper within the contiguos United States! Ignore these Welsh pretenders and these Canadian non-spenders! Point being, you don't have to ship at all, I'll come get it! Yes indeed, I will fire up the Ford Tortoise and relieve you of your burden with nary a whimper! Time and place please!

Anyway this whole thread reminds me of something, don't know what but it reminds me of something. Just kidding.

I was a member of another folk type list, not a forum, just an E-Mail type of thing. So the question was asked, what guitars do you own? So I sends in my reply with a short blurb on how every time I bring up the purchase of a new and different six-string, my wife tells me, "You have a beautiful guitar". In other words, "We can't afford it"! And I went on to say,"Jumpin Bejabbers, they just don't understand G.A.S. etc etc". So this other guy writes in reply, "Oh, my wife just bought me a new so and so", and "God, isn't she great"?, and "Oh what a woman", and " Jeez, she wants me to buy more stuff".

Made me want to puke! Needless to say, if I am ever fortunate enough to meet this gentleman, heh heh, what a time I'LL have.

But my wifey is a darlin', bought me a mandolin for my birthday. But, I would still love to meet this guy. Hopefully, I will have my dog in tow.

Best wishes, and keep the collection moving,
