Went to the Bill Stains show tonight and had a great time! Nice music, and you'd be hard pressed to find a more appropriate venue for Folk Music! Think I'll stop down to the open mic next Saturday and play a couple of songs. If you go, bring a nice soft cushion! They have them there, but those pews are hard!!! The music makes it worth it though!

Got the Gibson cleaned up and re-strung and it still sounds good. It still has that classic "Walk Right In" sound. But it needs a little more work before it's ready for prime time. Gibson used an adjustable wooden bridge pin, and it seems to mute the high notes. Gonna see if there is a replacement that will brighten it up. But that bottom end still has that great booming sound that I remember. But it's out of the case and on a stand in the living room where it will get played, and that's what's important!
