Got a nephew that's a Horned Frog. He's in the band - plays the biggest drum, but he's also a great sax player and bassist. One of those kids that can pick up any instrument and be pretty good in a week or so. Also an award winning shooter and hunter

Which, of course, requires this joke: In Soviet Russia a Man Goes to Buy a Car. He has saved for years and years, because there's no such thing as "credit." He goes up to the dealer and asks for a car, to which the dealer responds: 'You know there is a 10 year waiting list?' The man then answers, 'OK,' and after some time he then agreed to buy a car. The dealer says, 'OK, your car will be delivered 10 years, 11 months from now. On February 11th.' So he pays for the car in advance, and just before he leaves he asks the owner, 'Can I pick the car up in the morning or afternoon?' 'It's 10 years away, what does it matter?' 'The plumber is coming in the morning'.

@mik said in Breyer to retire: If he gets aa chance again I'd bet it will be Garland. He identifies as a black woman, so there is that....

Ten of us lucky people have received the guitar so far. I have sent out 10 small cards with 5 of the 3D printed picks attached, so far. Six people are still waiting to get their guitars. I also sent a pick pack to Larrivée. One of the forum members put together this photo of all the backs.

That's just a swell idea with inflation already at record levels. Just swell.

Good idea. I wouldn't mind having one for MFR.
