\t\t\t\t\t\t So.. worked at home today.. caught up on huge email backlog, and took calls while I helped move furniture in prep for our party Saturday night (are you coming ? )
FInally sitting down at around 8:30 to relax.. I picked up one of our old acoustic guitars.. It’s been missing a G string for years.. I’v ebeen playing it anyway.. I got up and started looking for a new string.. I found the bag… in it.. classical guitar strings .. Sams, .. electric Bass strings.. probably Sam’s.. electric guitar strings.. likely Sam’s.. a few bags of light gauge bronze\u00a0 martins.. with the G string already poached.. sam.. no doubt.. I held the bag like it was a wierd sort of talisman .. I almost held it up to my ears on the chance there were a few more strands of sam’s music left in there.. but it didn’t.. it felt funny to do that. \u00a0\u00a0 I found an odd matched\u00a0 G string and went over to the guitar.. it was missing the peg I needed to replace the missing string. That actually made me kinda glad.. I’m not sure.. but the current set on this old washburn might still have been sams.. can’ be sure.. but they’re getting crusty and grimy in only the way they can get after many years. <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Should I resting the whole guitar ? What do i do with\u00a0 the old strings ? Throw them away ? Burn them ? bury them ? melt them down.. ? Maybe there shoudl be special lanfills for things that are near relics.. <\/p>\n

all I do know is that when I restring that guitar it will be my clumsy picking.. not sam’s smooth blues and classical..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 where do I get a spare for that ? <\/p>\n

note folks.. nite sam
