I've been playing since 1994, first a Black Mountain, then a more-powerful McSpadden. As I mentioned just above, I get more volume by playing on a table

I'm still intrigued by Spaw's friend Warren May in Berea and by Modern MD's in Batesville, AR. (They must have picked Batesville because it is about the hardest town in Arkansas for potential buyers to get to.)

In my atlas, the roads to Batesville are all marked with dots. You know what that means? Scenic road. Allow plenty of time. Bring your tent.

Perhaps I can persuade my husband to schedule several days for us to get to Batesville, enjoying the scenery and geology (will it be Ozark or Ouchitan, I wonder) and perhaps the birdwatching along the way.

Sorry, Spaw. Berea is so much further away...
