It'll also lower your social life

I'm English.... once you lose an empire THAT big, all you have left is a sense of humor

I just hope the US can develop one after we (I live here, now) lose our pre-eminence this century, too

Diki, that's the kind of observation that sometimes ruffles people, but, I gotta say, you produce more dead on "hits" than "misses".

The historic similarities are attention-getting, to say the least.

Man, you can really tell if a guitar has been used in a smoky bar. all the binding turns yellow. I took a quick look this morning, and I've got lots of Fender instruments that used to be white, but are now a nasty yellow tobacco color. Same with the binding on some otherwie cherry old Gibsons.


Nasty stuff!

I've seen lots of good instruments, and a lot of old cloth covered Fender amplifiers damaged that way!
