Hi. Just a short disclaimer here. I certainly have nothing of value to contribute to this thread since the collecting of guns as a hobby is as much a mystery to me as sticking pins in dead butterflies and putting them in glass cases.I just wanted to let folks know that contrary to Tucker's claim that "like him, I want to get back to music", my last posting was supposed to be a small bit of humour in a pretty heavy thread. Just a little tension breaker, ya know. I'll never be one of the "less B.S. more music" folks, cause I think there's a very healthy balance.
I think it's great that the "furriners" feel comfortable enough to speak honestly about the subject, and I gather that they they repress small grins when they hear the old "We bailed you out in two wars" thing. Gotta keep in mind, since most of us like music from other countries, we often comment on cultural differences between us. Seems fair game to me, even in sensitive areas.
But I gotta tell ya Tucker, I'd rather hear you describing your flowers than your arsenal.
