Forums:

gratitude journals have been a thing for awhile now. anybody here keep one? have done this off and on for years

the good news thread inspired me to start this one

* grateful for ... my girly found out this day that she got a role in her latest college play!

anyone else?

Awesome, Jill!! Good for her.

Grateful, me?  I'm alive after three heart attacks, gall stones, removal, and a broken hip. Oh, and two teeth I pulled myself. 

I'm still here with my kids. We're seeing Captain America shortly. 

Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice.

My current gratitudinal is I have nearly completed the rehab of my 1976 lawsuit Howard Roberts archtop guitar.

I got it from the original owner, the old celluloid pick guard gassed off in the case causing damage to most of the metal, all those parts replaced.

New frets and wiring.  A tiny bit of high fret on the 8th fret which I will address next string change.

It will be my main player as I LARP an elderly beatnik jazzbo the rest of life's highway.

That's gorgeous, Aiq. How's she sound?

For me it is great, a volume cannon acoustically and a great balanced tone through through the amp.

Full hollow body.

Lollar Johnny Smith humbucker is like a revved up P90.  One volume knob, two tone knobs: a treble and a bass roll off.

I'm listening to some Howard Roberts right now, on this underrated Gerry Mulligan album:

Damn, man. Have fun, Aiq.

Grateful for: the healing process, community that fits one's vibe, and that my old wagon that loves to take me to the next gig in my life.
