You're in luck... I just might. Rocky Top was one of my favorite bluegrass songs to pick and sing. Tell ya what, post a current picture and I'll write the rest of the "Edna Song"?

I have designed a headstock layout for the maker of a handbuilt guitar I recently acquired. I tried cutting a vinyl paint mask for applying it to the guitar but it was too small for the detail to come out crisp enough with hand painting it. If someone could do an EDGE print for me on high...

Bluegrass music never fails to get my blood pumping and provide a second wind. I'm talking the banjo and guitar breakdowns with rapid fire solos interspersed throughout. Admittedly, those nasal, high lonesome vocals can put me to sleep, but then a hundred mile an hour string of hammer ons and...

I had to add a few lines to your chorus

When my shop was still open, as soon as I figured out I was dealing with this type of customer I threw out a price and said the design will be produced after a deposit is made. I added that we'll decide the final price based on the final approved design. If I thought my time was being wasted I...

Edna, my Edna, I hopped a frate trane to see you... I would've flone but the alditude was two much for meeee... Edna, oh Edna, I hope you know it's true... without a picture your face is fadin' from my memoreeee... (let's all add a few more verses)

From the way you spell and phrase things I picture you with missing front teeth, about 300 pounds, sitting on the front porch of a shanty with a tall can of beer in one hand and a ho ho in the other. On the railing beside you is a half eaten box of bon bons. Prove me wrong.

Yeah, maybe. A pic would go a LONG way towards helping me choose which line I'd use. C'mon, PROVE it!

Wow... this is totally in contradiction to everything I have been told before. Like you, it is my right kidney as well. When I had my first surgery as a result of spontaneous massive internal bleeding, they took out my appendix at the same time as the ruptured birth defect in my intestine. A few...

I may be wrong, but I don't think a transplant is a solution for kidney cancer. Once cancer cells have invaded a part of your body they are usually in other places as well. I doubt they'd waste a donated kidney on a cancer patient since nearly all people who start out with it in the kidneys have...

You fine folks have stood by me thru at least half of my 18 major surgeries over the past 22 years and graciously bailed my family out financially with the most generous outpouring of support I've ever witnessed from total strangers in my life. I've received words of encouragement from literally...

This is the first thing I've read online today and it's a good thing my coffee isn't done brewing yet. It would be all over my computer screen. As a former pilot (got bored with low n slow) I was already chiding her for her blatant stupidity. The "low on fuel" reminded me of once when I took off...

My problem with high up wall work was always with the terminology of the equipment being used. It's called "rope falls". I would have felt better if they were called "rope stays ups". And the plank being called a "swing stage". Sorry, I don't WANT to swing up that high. I always got made fun of...

Pat... same story here. A father and son painting duo I used to shadow around took me out to a grain silo job with them once. The were painting a Farm Bureau logo 40 stories in the air with no backboard on the swing stage. They prided themselves on their fearlessness. A few years earlier though...

I'm sure a setup an that guitar was a noticeable improvement. That's considered a low end student instrument. I would guess you aren't as motivated to play it as you'd like to be. I would recommend looking into a better one you'll WANT to play more. Also, check out...

I believe the Depression was 1930-33. It would definitely be more money than this amount as it would have to account for what money fell to in value during the Depression?

Exactly. precisely why I was willing to work for free to learn it from an accomplished master. I believe it's the same advice we give people in here time after time, learn at a shop first from people who know the trade. Sounds like your buddy turned out the way people typically do who have...

Well Moze it no longer matters. This was indeed a very short lived opportunity. I just heard from him and he told me he has finally decided to retire himself after over 30 years. I just remember his name was Jack and his shop was in east Ft. Worth. he said he didn't even get in the last phone...

I took the luthier built guitar I acquired this past week over to a luthier to examine for me this weekend (he pronounced it healthy as did its original builder recently). While there, I inquired as to whether he had ever trained anyone in his field, and he said a number of people have come and...

i remember reading an old Signs of the Times article that said during the depression sign painters earned 25-40 a week depending on their ability. I'd like to see one of our brainiacs on here convert that into 2012 money. Of course, that was during the days when sign painters lived in the same...
