Picking and grinning.....

I'm amazed at how many of the denizens of this backwater of the internet enjoy not only the sixgun and other firearms but also the various stringed instruments as well. Somehow I've managed to collect a few myself, but nothing grand or impressive, just a Washburn, a Fender (probably Chinese, but don't recall) and a couple of Colombian instruments, a cuatro and a tiple. Have been looking for a 12 string for years, but never had the money when one showed up, or else there was that one that hung on the music store wall for years with an action so high it was hopeless. If they'd put a decent discount on it I'd have taken a chance, maybe, but they wanted full price and that wasn't going to happen.

Justin Johnson is one picker I get a kick out of. He comes up with all kinds of different instruments and make 'em sing.
