Hi Yuri good to see you around and posting, as was said by Jesse Joe,too.
I read you Luthery today, having no idea wha it was; I entered predisposed it was "probably about the Lutheran Denomination, or, I'm not sure whether they are protestant; no matter - I was surprsied and pleased to see Luthery is the making of stringed instruments - ws that the boild-down definition ? I saw that it covered all typoes of guitar, and violins, etc. Very nice blog- the parchment background adds anice anbience for a woodworker's story - one i did not see answered - 16 yrs old - you made you first Bass guitar from church Pew Oak, right ? Well in that story (I liked the part about the musci store owner not selling you frets- until you showed him your essentially complete wood product !.
The Q from that one, having just characteristically run off on a co-secant instead of the usual non-linear-thinkers next -step, I am told I think divergantly, (sounds ominous lol) I diiveeerge.hmmmm. - wel anyway- thinkng in relational terms - this makes me think of that, makes me think of that, and I problem solve bottm up instead of top-down - and I almost always depart non-sequiter from the thought at hand, to a seemingly unrelated "tangent" -
ok, maybe a versed-sin - no one I knew could remember that escept my Dad who taught EE. Inverse of the sine; hence 'verse'-ed sin. Ok the Q - skipping a few non-sequiters I'll kepp to myself - but wll talk your canoe tales later - so you made your 1st bass of oak at 16, and mentioned you made the case as well. Now, my Yamaha real basic classical guitar has a fiber-board almost carboard typical low-end case. What of yours / Something tells me you would not stand for cardboard
lol
Great stories in there....still pickin and readin here and there. I am goign to read next your "our story" about "how does a Hamilton Ontario College student meet a Boston Girl on field trip ? Most guys would not dream of writing about their wives that way, they are almost compelled to speak in terms of being embarrased to tak=lk her up, and just do the ball and chain thing... sad... as you know my situation... I won't infuse any maudlin (been accused of that) or elegiac words on Merry now - I have to know the people want to hear it B4 I write4 of it. Then of course I am a wrecjk for the day, but they tell me thats the process. POINT BEING....today... on wives...
Sound like you value yours very much, and are not embarrassed to admit it. Yes ! The cliche of you never know how much you have til you lose it is so true it challenges the farthest corners of your mind, if yours is like mine in anyway - God help ya lol - ya think in between tears - how can the tear ducts have enough 'juice' in 'em to cry for 3 hours ? Arborite dreams from 'Never Say Trust Me' came to mind and Kenny Rogers who turned it down (fool ) - jj and I have mused that THAT tune just keep creepin further and further into your head....Prett Bar maid going to and fro....arbotire tables, arborite dreams... well dowm here in the US of A we call it Formica 9brand) or generically - melamine HPL on ParticleBoard substrate.
It took first SherylKat, then Char, then looking up the Arborite co. website to convince myself that after 7 years in Lumber while going to college, I thought I "knew' arbourite was "AAspenite flakeboard - big chipboard - not ParticleBoard, bu those big ole flakes and glue. Nope - I now stand corrected on what you folks up Canada way call Arbourite brand and melamine, too for generic product, we call Formica. And with a story like that, how could Kenny turn hisnose up at that song ? The empty bottle reference ? H ecan have his pineapples - he lost out on a great song that even capotured IMO his style, by Gord. It anticipated his methods of singing, and terms I do not know, I could just "hear' Kenny singing it. Oh well. That my random list today !
You take care
- thanks
