You might find this interesting, or maybe not ... it's up to you!

Once a decade, and this is that time, I sit in my private space (office) and look around. I clean out drawers, stacks of paper and stuff. This morning I discovered that I have an amazing collection of guitar capos, some going back 50 years.

I don't remember when my habit of collecting capos started, but I do know that it had to do with dear guitar player friends who have died. Often the surviving family members would suggest that I take a final reminder, memento, of those hours of music we shared. For some reason, I often asked for their old capos ....

Now as I look at the pile of over 20 various capos, I'm stunned.

As I hold them, play with them, I'm well reminded of those wonderful times.

Am I the only one that does this? bob(deckman)nelson
