Happy Birthday.

Thanks. I will check them out too.

Thanks. I didn't know about this place. I will check them out.

The sound is the most important aspect for me. The guitar needs to sing if you know what I mean. I did go to several stores and only found two arch tops. Ordering one without first playing it is what scaring me. I used to have a Gibson ES 165. I did not like that guitar. It just did not sound good at all when I played it. I used to have a Guild X-500. That guitar sounded so beautiful. I also had a Gibson Charlie Christian model, circa 1939. It's the one with the three screws on the body. The fretboard was made with a black wood. It was like playing butter.

DL works for me.

I have the itch to start playing again. I regret selling my main guitars many moons ago. I am in the market for a new one. My predicament is I am a lefty, and what is available is far less than what's out there if you are right handed. I am looking for an arch top. Anyone play an Eastman guitar? I am considering one these. My only concern is ordering online and when it arrives without playing the instrument I may not like the sound. Sam Ash music stores in NY has the Gretsch but their price is $400 more. I know whatever I order, I will need to have the action adjusted. Guitar players here, what are your thoughts on these?

You're right. At .25 you can see both sax players.

I have it fixed. I actually did it within iTunes.

That's a good one for the topic 'windmills' I posted the wrong one.

Not only does it look like an alto at .30, George got a lot lighter in skin tone, not that that matters.

Sure sounds like it did.

I was watching some TV and this commercial came on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ2T__lBqco

I found out what George Coleman Jr. issue was. He had a slipped disc and needed spine surgery. A commercial was even filmed for the hospital where it was performed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ2T__lBqco

The link to the one you can't see. http://images.45cat.com/howard-rumseys-lighthouse-allstars-jazz-invention-vogue.jpg A new one.

This is sad. R.I.P Mr. Jeffrey.

Yes another snow storm. So much for the arrival of spring.

It's a Herculean task for anyone trying to acquire every known recording of Bird. I tried to do this in the early 1990s. There are so many live recording on so many different labels, some sonically so poor that I ended up getting doubles and didn't realize at first. I gave up.

Yup

You did this one. Page 2
