Hey, Rocket, you once told me about an old shotgun you had. I used to have a nice guitar you might have liked. Do you remember the Gibson B-25?

That is a nice old guitar... Worth quite a few bucks if you still have it. I have an epiphone that was based on that gibson series. It was my first guitar when I was a kid. I still have it. Not nearly the value of yours though.

No, I wish I did. I sold ALL of my music stuff years ago. I also had a Gretch Silver Aniversery and a Gretch Stadium. Mrs. Layoutshooter CRIED when I sold my drums. That was set was a Ludwig, side tom, snare, base, two toms on the base and a set of match ground Zilgen (sp?) cymbals. I spent over ten hours at the Drum Shop in Detroit, playing cymbals and getting the "grind" numbers off of them when I bought them. It took almost 4 months to get those cymbals.

Gretsch makes some really nice guitars. George Harrison was a big Gretsch fan. I played a nice Gretsch 12 string at a music store not long ago. Very nice sound quality. Sorry to hear about the drums. Do you think you'll ever get some more?

So far in this thread one of you mentioned my knees and the other guy alluded to my lips..I don't think I like where this is going :(

No, I don't think so. I was only so-so when I played all the time. Good enough to earn money but I was NOT going any further than that. I have not played ANYTHING since about 1979 or 80. Those Ludwigs were "Pink Champain" sparkle. Bought them in 1966? give or take a year or so. If I were to try to play again it would be guitar, just cause is smaller and more fun to play alone.
Mrs. Layoutshooter ALWAYS wants me to play again. She misses those days more than I do.
