I'm a terrible guitar player, I just fool with them for fun. I like
working on them more than playing them.

Jenn is a very good amateur guitar player and a pro music educator.
She played horns of one or another sort professionally and
academically at one time.

But it's a moot point as far as the queefcaster project goes. It
turns out this beautiful piece of woodwork had a nice veneer over a
core of some antecedent to pressboard, so it got cut up and fed to the
fireplace. It popped, smoked and stunk like a vegetarian's ass in the
fireplace but up in smoke it went. The legs were so shaped i could not
use them for anything else but were a solid medium density hardwood
and burned nicely.

Thanks for the compliment. I make about 1/4 of my income from guitar
these days. Last weekend I played at the NAMM show for three days for
Martin Guitars, Collins America, and Demeter Amplification. While there
I also played a coffee house gig in Pasadena with Laurence Juber. At
NAMM I was also engaged to play trombone for Conn-Selmer, and for Bones
West. Besides locally, I conduct in Reno, San Diego, and Rochester in
2010. It's a good life.

Cool. I play a little. I mostly entertain myself playing to
a Fender G-DEC. I'd like to attend a NAMM one of these
years. Will you be playing at the Summer NAMM?

I doubt it. Sponsors aren't paying for long flights much these days.
