Tunes I Claim I Know

I don't hate people enough to be a writer. I probably should. The last thing I would do is try to profit off of some yakuza splinter group that disbanded in 1989. Sega gaming has that covered. Rap...

I am the new owner of this Eagle. The instrument got a clean bill of health from a local luthier before shipping. Heritage support looked at a photo from the listing and said not to worry. I...
