Each time I walk in the shop and look at it, I remember the '68 that I *gave* away back in '78.

I've done it with car, bikes and guitars > and kicked myself each time. My pristine 1980 G&L F100 <double heavy sigh>. I donated it for auction to raise money for my best friend's wife when he passed away in the early '90's due to health problems from exposure to agent orange. Wish I'd had more money at the time. I'd have just donated cash and kept the guitar. Jimmy was a very good guitar player, song writer, and teacher. RIP James Wiley, my good friend. Semper Fi. <clink> I still have my Takimine EF-391-ME. Don't imagine I'll ever part with it. It got stolen once, and I actually recovered it, which never happens. Jimmy was amazed. I think it's meant to be mine. Talk about a rare model. -- Steve Paul EKIII, BS284 '93 FXRS-C "Mule" No salt, No plans |
