I did change the nut to a Tusq XL . along with the matching string trees . replaced the saddles with some hard steel ones . put in a better block and Raw Vintage springs . and lubed it up ...

    Jersey City Shootings

    when I was living in NY , I worked in Paterson for a few months . I don't know if Jersey City is as bad ( violent ) as that , but I'm not really surprised to see NJ in the news for something like this __ given the group that was targeted . there's probably a lot more going on behind this story ...

    Manny's Music is No Longer Standing :(

    trust me . I could write a book on what gentrification ( and beyond ) has done to the city . the tourists will never know about the bakeries / delis / music stores that made NY . it will never have the same energy that it did 30 or 40 years ago . now it's just a time and place that will only...

    I lived ( mainly ) in NYC for 20+ years . only the people that lived there , understand how much of it is changing . even if I could afford to move back into one of the now overpriced neighborhoods that I lived in .
