I do have a Martin guitar valued at $2,500. welllll perhaps it may just fall off a truck and someone may file an insurance claim  Or the Guitar Bandito could break into my house and abscond with with my D-35. Then I might be forced to get a Gibson.  BTW, Martin turned 40 this year.

Yes I do hate Gibsons with a seething passion lol thats why all my guitars are Fenders, aside from the acoustic and my newest one. Hell even the bass I bought a few months ago is based on the P-Bass. Let me ask you something... do you have big/wide hands? The reason I "hate" fenders is because I've always been uncomfortable with the wide necks. Gibsons (and Ricks) have nice, narrow necks. I have long fingers, but girly hands compared to lumberjacks and such lol. So the narrower necks are easier for me to play, and more comfortable. It's not a "hate" thing, cuz Fender is world-class Rock. I just have a hard time playing them. And I would assume the same would be true if some monster-hand tried to play a Les Paul or 12-string Rick (like Lennon's)... if it's uncomfortable or difficult -- of course it'll be "hated" Fender Jazz or Precision bass? "Hate" them! lol Too wide for me. But gimme a Höfner (or knock-off) Paul McCartney bass, and I'm happier than a pig in chit.

Baby Dylan Rolled over from his tummy to his back tonight. Sweet!  I don't know how I didn't notice already, Mig -- probably because the last 3 months have been totally exhausting -- but Dylan was born the same day as my twin niece/nephew (5 years apart)! Day before Halloween.

Fenders just have more comfortable necks to me, they feel more balanced, and aren't nearly as over priced as Gibson. Not to mention the weight difference between them. The fenders i do perfer to play have a shorter scale than gibsons anyway, gibson being a 24.75" and the fenders i use being 24". With the bass its funny because when one of my bassist friends heard that i got it, he was shocked i didn't get a short scale bass that was closer to a regular guitar's scale, instead getting one that has a 34" scale.

I was looking at the Living Supercentenarian page on Wiki and i noticed that there are two people who where born on exactly the same day and are both still alive which i though was quite fascinating. Notice how women live the longest.. Yoshino Tanaka F 3 March 1900 112 years, 320 days Japan Maria Candia F 3 March 1900 112 years, 320 days Italy

A touching story from Italy. This loyal dog use to go to church every day with his owner. She recently died and upon hearing the church bells, "Ciccio" continues to go to church every day. The Priest doesn't have the heart to shoo him away.  Isn't that sweet?
