The Guitar and the Sunset

I am in a bit of a rush tonight I have been searching the wondrous world of cyberspace for information on Mr M’s old Guild guitar a single pick up CE 100 which seems to date from 1960 although the tail piece seems to be from an earlier time and looks classic 1956.  Old guitars to some folk are like steam trains or old motorbikes or rare books or stamps, mind you most of the folk such things appeal too are in general men and quite often men of a certain age who like to potter about with other men of the same age looking at these things and going OOOOOOOo that is a humbucking pickup from the old New York workshop made by Mr Smith or even his dad . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Or OOOOOooo look a condensing double level braking cylinder screw mechanism.



Anyway we popped up to Mr M’s house to ensure all is OK which it is or at least we think it is as far as we can tell considering there is piles of stuff and several rusting dead cars and large holes in the ground.  It would be an ideal place for a classic Zombie movie although getting a film crew and a load of Zombies up the hill would be far from easy……….


Right I must go as it is getting later than I planned to be writing my diary, but before I go I must say WOW that was some sunset tonight I went out to take a picture and there were other folk doing the same, a clear sign that it must have been jolly good, normally it is just me pointing camera’s at the sky (and pointy sticks).

  1. The sky looks angry at you for taking so many pictures of it without giving it any royalties.

    Also, I wanted to contact you rgarding the Muppets For Justice blog tour, but couldn't find an email address. Just hit me up on addman_00@hotmail.com when you have the time.

    Thanks

  2. I think your guitar looks eXactly like the one I had as a child, perhaps age 13.

    We are just getting ready for Thanksgiving and having several out-of-town guests. My son helped clean out the icebox and the wife got me TWO buffalo steaks after them being absent for about a month. Shirt business is reaLLy picking up. Our largest order yet was a 100 shirt order printed on both sides which we managed to do the actual printing in a half day with two presses and three of us working, plus a day of design work. The stand finaLLy arrived for the Roland GX-24 so I wiLL get started today learning how to use it.

    2. Glad to hear business is going well Me ESB and good luck with the Roland.

      Not sure about the sound of Frog Eye Salad, but I will say I was always a great fan of the Frog Eye Sprite....... A very cool looking little beast.

    4. My virtual keyboard on my touchscreen Toshiba is terribly unreliable when using the mouse. It gives a false positive that the key is selected and even makes sounds ..but.. no results, emptiness, remarkable. I wiLL upgrade to Windows 8.1 and see if there is improvement. As far as the Me you had there instead of Mr, my brain must have subconsciously autocorrected it because I didn't even notice it until you me ntioned it.

  3. We made postcards showing each season from our site, the one for autumn is a sunset not too dissimilar to that sunset. We do get spoilt sometimes with weather like this.

    1. Quite agree about the weather although it was a little colder than I would have liked. Our old house never had sunsets due to its position so I always find sunsets like this well awesome.
