johnny9fingersWell, I got my No.1 Strat back.
The re-fretting is of a very high standard. Céline also cut a new bone nut for it. A1 in all respects.
I shredded until my fingers hurt.
Luthier's Corner* are very good indeed, and Céline and Dave are great luthiers.
My bank account is somewhat overstretched now. Thank the fates for the voice-over work. Godchildrens' birthdays coming up on Friday and also the 15th June. Earrings for Philippa and the Oxford Companion to the Classical World for Jacqueline. Jacqueline's easier to buy for, clever little swot she is. Next year she will get Lewis and Short....unless I hear she needs it sooner. Philippa is two years older and a teenager: much more difficult to anticipate requirements for presents. Thankfully She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed will come to help choose the earrings at lunchtime on Friday. Guys don't really know about this sort of stuff: and though I've had hair of every different colour available, I have no piercings and no taste in choosing such body adornments. (My scars are all testimony to my stupidity, alas, rather than any attempt to prettify my countenance: not that such attempts would be anything other than fruitless.)
Must try to find the money for my Council Tax too. Bugger. Time to whore myself out again. I should have a placard: "will play guitar for money - no matter how awful the song/part/guitar line". I should have a set of rates that go from extremely high for boring stuff, to expenses only for the stuff I actually like. Actually, that modus operandi is what has gotten me into this mess. Blast.
Madame continues in grace and light, and continues to bestow such qualities upon those around her. Despite being slightly pinched in the old wallet, I really am blessed. And I am aware of it too.
Go well and do good things.
