Hey guys,
What music are you listening to right now-I'm assuming everyone has to have great toons when 'at work"
Big Mama Thorton here! bob J38962.5304861111

Happy Saturday indeed! This is the first day of a nine day vacation for me. Plus, I just got finished showing a potential client some guitars and he said they all sounded better than his 1947 Martin. Made my day!

NPR - I don't like music when I am trying to think - which is hard enough already!!!

Good Shabbat Hesh!! And a good Saturday to all. I actually have off (mostly) today so I am getting around to a neck reset on an old Vega archtop that a store dropped off a while ago. As for music Bob I find if I listen to anything while I work I am so focused I only notice it when it stops I wish I could listen to music and enjoy it while I work. Happy Labor day all!

Happy Saturday to all my OLF brethren...

Steve, I have to ask... Who is that austere looking gentleman in your avatar?

Saturday! The day after Friday and the one before Sunday. It is a good day indeed

Alain, thanks for asking, the person depicted in my avatar is an actual picture of a Courtright ancestor of mine. So, minus the beard and a little less hair on top, too, this could be a picture of me!!! Austere is a good word for Courtrights actually, but I like to think I am more fun than this guy looks. Actually a ham sandwich is more fun than this guy looks... Been dying for someone to ask, so you get the prize! Cheers!

Am I really the first one to ask? I've been wondering since day one!

I was debating between using 'austere' and 'sober' or 'severe countenance'...

Well thanks for the answer, Steve.

Cheers!

Those are all pretty good, Alain...I kind of like "stoic" - anyway back to building my go-bar deck and sanding my inside mold clamping cauls!

Happy Saturday to one and all! Spent the morning in the shop working on my first commision, but it's now 85 degrees outside, so me and the pup are going for a walk. Then... back to the shop!
