@SpookyTim, can you please ask her to stop making that noise with her mike? It's incredibly irritating! Is she wearing a necklace that's hitting her mouthpiece? Or playing with beads? Or what? Crazymaking. She's a great guest, this is a great interview, but the noise is very distracting!

Thank you!

I have heard this noise on dozens of shows before and always thought it was cheap beads or something, but it usually originates from something that simple that is rubbing that is not even close. You would need a pretty long sound check to catch it.

Well that's it, shows over. Great show Tim! Goodnight all!

I don't know anything about her. But my gut feeling before she was on was good. Weird.

When I sold the ones I had the buyer checked the potentiometers to date them.

Aha! Didn't know about that. Don't think there's anyone here where I live that I think would know how to do that or be reliable. Who would I ask? All I've got locally is (urk) Sam Ash and Guitar Center. I know I'd have no problem getting any one of many geeks in NYC who I could ask about that. Might you have any suggestions?

As an irrelevant aside, my parents bought my first instrument, a flute, for me when I was 8, at the original Sam Ash store in Brooklyn, which I can still recall. I was very excited to get that flute and start lessons.   

The other guitars I've kept are a Martin 1967 12-string D-12-20, a Martin 1972 D-28 (bought new, I'm the only player and owner), and I still have a nice Fender Bass. My Music Man Sting Ray I got stolen in my move here, unfortunately. It disappeared between the moving van and the storage unit when I looked away for a minute or two, and I didn't find out till after they left. Funny how one of the guys had admired the case and had asked about it.  Oh yes, I also have a Ovation 6-string with a built-in pickup, bought from a friend, just for fun. Not sure how much I like it, but there it is.

Used to have a Dan Armstrong plexiglass solid body guitar with those funky plug-in, switchable pickups, but that was way too heavy on my shoulder to play for long, and the neck was a bit thick for my small-ish hand. 

Hi SpookyTim, GravitySucks, and Aquarius.
