Please let us know what you think of it; I’m thinking I may need a Ric 12-string fake, myself!

The Guitar Pron Thread
I bought a H-B Tele-style ‘52 as a beater/leave at the other house toy. Tuners are extremely mediocre, good fret work, nice finish, pickups surprisingly decent. Can’t imagine doing better for $149 or whatever I paid. I’m gonna replace the tuners just for the hell of it. Body and headstock shape aren’t perfect, but who cares? Not gonna be on any album covers anytime soon…..

Tell me about Texas Tech
This is one of the most out-of-touch (dumber’n dog shit) posts I’ve ever seen.

Even more random someone on surly knows about it.
I don’t know, farmer, there’s just something about you that really pisses me off—doG. Old cotton country joke.

Shit I've Cooked Lately
I can handle the Brussels sprouts and fish chili potatoes, but the salt cod intrigues me-heard about it all my life, never tasted it. Where did you find it? Did you soak it before cooking? Cooked in a big ole skillet? Thanks!

Any Doug Sahm Fans in the House?
And Trini Lopez! That’s one of the worst Lip-syncing cuts I’ve ever seen, but Sahm’s hair is magnificent. It might have gotten a little dusty in here when I heard he had died at the Taos Inn. A magnetic, charismatic performer, and one of the great Texas songwriters and bandleaders.

Guess what, assholes, it’s that Friday again . . .
From a beautiful morning at the top of the Hill Country—-FIGHT!

Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
Sounds like “rules of the road” for a serial killer.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Fired, quit, makes no difference; of course he’s going back to his regular office and classroom-he’s a tenured professor at a large state school. Duh!

Allsup’s sold to Yesway
For Biff Tanner: last I knew from friends in the convenience store business in New Mexico, the state has a hard ceiling on the number of alcohol licenses to be sold, period. That is, if you want a license, you have to buy an existing one. In the mid 80’s (!) a license was worth $1,000,000.. that would probably cut out some Allsup’s. Don’t know exactly the situation now………..

The Guitar Pron Thread
Yes Didn’t Micawber originally have some oddball (Fender?) lap steel ‘bucket, or am I just confusing it with the Coodercaster?

Astrud Gilberto passes at 83
The song that sparked my sometimes incomprehensible love trying to play “smooth” jazz. RIP.

The Guitar Pron Thread
Very nice looking Esquire, but I’m soon to build a flipped version, with just a neck pickup to dial in that warm, woody, “airy” Tele sound, probably with flatwounds. Horses for courses, I reckon.

Travel clubs
Anybody ever travel with a Flying Longhorns group? Did I miss a thread somewhere? Any comments or reviews are welcome, I think…………………

Jim Croce
Also, outstanding guitar playing from his musical sidekick Maury Muhlheisen (sp?) who died in the crash with Croce.

What is the oldest thing that you bought NEW
Fascinating topic. My Schrade/Old Timer 3-blade Stockman, 1966. In my pocket now. A Frederick Post slide rule from 1969; no, I don’t use it every day, but I damned sure still know how to-just tested myself. Miscellaneous tools from 1968, when i bought my first motorcycle-Dad didn’t have anything metric.

What in the cornbread hell is that horror show all about? No accounting for “taste,” i guess.
