    Visually - if I had to pick one, I would probably go with Jethro Burns' A-5 . . . every time I see it, I want it.

    Re: Mandos on the wall

    Speaking from experience - just be careful that you maintain good humidity levels in the room . . . in just one evening, I nearly lost 4 top-notch instruments.

    Isn't it spooky? I used to be pleasantly shocked when I went to a store and came across a nice musical instrument, or a rare vinyl album . . . now I'm stunned when I see toilet paper.

    How dare you post a picture of a Weber 2-point! Don't you know that I'm over my MAS - and now you're just rubbing it in my face.

    If this quarantine thing lasts too much longer, David might be able to find a desperate mandolin player who will trade his F-5 for some of that TP stash.

    Re: NOT an essential service?!

    Years ago I threatened to write a sad bluegrass song and call it: 'Blue Grass On A Gray Day'
