David, I was wondering how your hands are doing. A friend of mine had that problem where you can't lay your hand flat and had it operated on recently. They warned him that it wasn't plastic surgery and that it wouldn't look so great, and immediately after the surgery it did indeed look pretty rough, like Frankenstein had sewn his hand together. It may not look so bad in time.
I finally did something yesterday that I hadn't done in 46 years. I bought another guitar. Well, that's not quite true, in that 46 years I've bought 2 12 string guitars but I never made a nickel with them. In 46 years I'd played my old Les Paul half to death and had it all over the country. I wanted another type though that had certain advantages over the Les Paul, one of them being that it was a lot lighter. It's a Gibson SG and Gibsons are really pricey but it should pay for itself in about a month.
This week I'm actually off, but next week I work twice as much. Last night I was about half way to Kansas City, in a place we play about once a month.
Yesterday was fairly hot, 89 degrees. Tonight it's kind of chilly. Tonight 39 and tomorrow 60. Not Montana weather but great weather for getting sick. John
