Sam, Do what I'm doing. Learn to play. It's really great. Sometimes frustrating, sometimes painful, (I wonder if they make bandaids to go over the tips of your fingers), always rewarding. If this is not an option, you can always buy a guitar and stand it in the corner.

I would like to order one, and I probably will, but my new guitar is not exactly a Martin, it's only a Seagul. The quandry is, should I put a beautiful work of art in a K-Mart frame? But then again, it is 25% toward supporting Mudcat.

I am certainly sitting on the horns of a delema..

(I love that expression ;-)

See you soon, Bill.
