so I'm watching this video with Andy Powers of Taylor guitars talking about a trio of instruments he built using tooling and techniques of 100 years ago.
1 archtop 1 acoustic guitar 1 mandolin He'd built them just prior to coming onboard with Taylor. It got me thinking about a block of maple I've had for 23 years that would make 3 tops suitable for solidbody guitars. I dug it out and remembered I had a piece of flamed redwood too. I need to build them into guitars now. |

Today and tomorrow is youth hunting early season. I allow the local group to hunt my land from a blind overlooking a field of clover. The sponsor and 12-year old boy were in the blind about an hour and some yahoo drives just past my drive where I can't see him through the threes and starts blasting his horn for a good 30 seconds. Long enough for me to get my phone, cross the balcony and snap a picture of his truck though a gap in the trees. Now it could be the local turkey flock or deer herd were blocking his way ... but in three summers here nobody has laid on the horn ever. Made me think of hunter interference.
I sent the sponsor the photo and he and the 40 or so other guys in the youth hunt sponsor club will possibly know the truck and his motives. No issues the first two years. Wonder how he would know. I think the club shares the shoot locations among each other. |
