Ya, in general the more music you listen to, the better. Get it deep inside your body and soul. Onyx is good. Well over due for a hair cut. A real walking carpet. Spring is coming. Soon it will be time to shed that winter coat.

Hey Ken, how are things buddy? Hope all is well. Hey, where do you get your boxes at? In town?
Thank you for sharing. I came across 2112jefferson too while treasure hunting. I was amazed at his inventory. If he is a picker that does not know a lot about guitars is hard to believe. I wonder if this is a large sell off of a private collection? I guess we will see, if more guitars keep getting posted. Regardless, definitely some nice stuff. Enjoy.
Thank you Noisemaker for your comment. I am pretty sure it is not OS. The neck is a dead give away for me. Regardless, she does need a lot work, but if won cheap, she would make an excellent learning project and eventually a sweet little vintage instrument. Enjoy.
Thank you Noisemaker for your comment. There is definitely Gold in them thar hills. LOL Years ago, I found the Fiddle-edge resonator I now own, as a "buy it now" auction 2 o'clock in the morning, when I got up because I could not sleep. It was up for the amazing low price of $1200. I felt I had no choice but to buy. Sometimes when you find those treasures, it can be quite stressful too. Should I buy...should I let it go...Enjoy.
Thank you Noisemaker. I will share some info with you. I played about 25 to 30 hours over the week. I made slightly less than $20 per hour. I sold 10 CDs too. ($10 each) So, that is $600 to $700 for enjoying myself on vacation. This is about the same I make on the platforms of NYC. Not too shabby. People are usually generous. When shooting videos, many times the audience stays back. So it is not an accurate account of what really takes place. Enjoy.
Thank you Noisemaker for your comment. You think my performance was HOT? Boy, I think it was Wednesday, the temperature was super intense. It was so hot there was no one playing on the street that day. But I will take heat over rain anyday while I am on vacation. LOL Enjoy.
