Re: Recent Server Downtime

Thanks from Arkansas, Bob. It seemed like an eternity and when I did get on awhile ago, I thought I was in the twilight zone or something. Every post was from 2009. Anyway, I clawed my way out and it is great to have it all up and running again.

Of course, the problem is that this kind of polling can't be at all accurate, UNLESS each of the women surveyed had tried out men from ALL twenty countries. And, to be fair, there would need to be several samples from each country.

Les Paul was big for me too. My mom and dad had the Les Paul/Mary Ford records and that was amazing to me. I appreciate Elvis but was not a big fan. I did try to learn a lot of Beatles stuff and I could play "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" and "Henry the Eighth". I liked HH a lot. Flat pic...

I emailed him a couple of months back and asked the same question. He said he was just kinda burned out for awhile and was pulling his head back into his shell. He's doing well. I sure do miss his humor.

They do seem like a nice couple, though. The yards pretty clean, and there are hummingbird feeders. Real homey.

I took that picture about 3 years ago, and my shop hasn't been clean, since. Photos can be so misleading. I actually clean about twice a year, after I finish a build. :oops:

A couple hold smaller tools, one holds sharpening supplies/tools, one of the deep ones holds small used bits of sandpaper, etc. Great system. Ron http://...

Must have been a cheap banjo, mine weighs in at around 5.3 kg.
Man, you just can't trust a Hungarian with a banjo.
