Not worth expending more energy on this til things come to pass, but the fact we are having this conversation is disheartening to me. We all love and want guitars. Some of us are willing to pay...
I understand the proposed, across the board tariffs, would likely cost about $1700 per person annually. So, the anti-inflation program is off to a good start! But dwell on the positive, our huge...
That is mercantilism, and basically the way the US functioned in the late 1890s when the US budget was in the tens of millions of dollars. I am amused by the people who say it's not a tax. That's...
I think it's nice if every guitar has a great story attached, and if it doesn't, create it yourself. The same as every great relationship and marriage.. So you can bore all of your friends...
Love all of Pat's albums--can't think of a "bad" album he's made. He's danced through so many phases. (See what I did there...) His first 5-6 albums were taking the Gary Burton esthetic and...
I would say a thread on upcoming government policy is exactly the right place for politics. Especially days after an election where the winner campaigned heavily on said tariffs. And as a...

One of the venues I play at regularly for jam sessions is having a Christmas party mid December, so I’m boning up on Christmas tunes, too. Winter Wonderland is one of my favorites. Nice melody and...
A bought a Aria FA archtop guitar about 30 years ago after seeing Jim Mullen play. He gets a great tone out of his guitar, that I never could, it's in his hands and ears.
Something else. Are you having difficulty developing hand independence? Perhaps you can return to playing a simple blues and developing some independence between your hands. Take it as slow as you...
DK's a fine piano player singer? meh.... she didn't break this one....:cool: Meet Me In St. Louis | Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas | Warner Classics
The expensive imported stuff that you actually need, or things that in aggregate are expensive. You'll have to define "expensive" for yourself. A 20% tariff on a $3000 item would be $600 - so, will...
A huge problem we have is half the country wants the other half to be punished. American politics isn't win or lose. We either win or lose together. I mean, the 10 richest Americans made $64...
