~S~: Iz in big trouble. You say nine? Hmmmmmm? Well, danged, the way me and the Wes Ginny slide rule figure it, I'z come up with a minus 2 calloses, which of course any gitfiddler knows is not good news on the eve of Blues Week. But, hark, Iz gonna write one of them notes signed Bobert's Mom. That always fooled 'em in school so, hey, it's worth a try... As fir the finger picks, well, I'll see how far the right hand goes. I've been playin' with em' a little and so it's no problem, but I got a big ol' callose's on my thumb and 1st two fingers so I'm hopin' to not give in to metal and plastic...

RR: Yeah, I'm bummed about not being able to atke the Ghia. I went to the BUG OUT and tried to find a Ghia roof rack and didn't and haven't had any luck on the net. Seein as I'm taking 3 guitars and gear AND meeting up with my wife, the P-Vine, in Roanoke when Blues Week is over and the two of us going to Western Carolina with her stuff too, the Gearo was out of the question.

Art: Will do. And I'll tell Sparkey and Joan Fenton that I know you.

CarolC: Thanks, and hope you're planning on being at the Mountain Stage songwriter's competition next month in Jefferson County 'cause I'll be there...
