son of the isolated blurts thread!

I just made my partner's day by buying only one 6-string tenor ukulele and not the electric bass uke, the dobro (resophonic) uke, and the banjo-uke (better than the one I have) also. But if I see a charango anywhere, all bets are off. I also bought another tinwhistle but that's meant as a defensive weapon, in case loose dogs or their owners get vicious whilst I'm out strolling.

i have met the granddaughter of one of the Dopyera brothers (she lives in my small town), and seen a couple of the family's dobros up close and personal-like. shockingly (but not entirely surprisingly), she didn't have them insured, which i strongly encouraged her to do.

this town can seem rather removed from the rest of the world... i really hope someone who understands the value of the instruments doesn't find out about them and snatch them out from under her unsuspecting nose. :(

Wow! Maybe if you check for auction prices and show her what they're fetching now, she'll get the idea.

I was thrilled many years ago to play an ultra-rare Dopyera triple Dobro with mandolin, 6-string, and 12-string necks. Heavy booger! I imagine it's kept under secure wraps now.
 
I'm not going to watch Criminal Minds. I'm too busy looking at Rainy's new av and sharpening my knives. :eek:
 
If you can pick up lemons in a classy way, you will get all the bitches. Just sayin. Different avenues, same destination Yank.

All true. But if the Wartenburg wheel would do the trick, a frugal fellow could skip the cost of the expensive dinner where he would have the opportunity to display his skill at recognizing, selecting, and using said lemon fork.

Quoted for TRUTH.
 
In all honesty, I've never seen or used a lemon fork in a restaurant.

My tea party was nearly ruined because I don't own a lemon fork. I was so ashamed.
