I owned a Stratatone like Tom is playing, but sold it to Elderly Music for 75.00 - they only wanted it for the pickup - they sell for crazy monies now. Still I made out OK - bought for 8.00.That's sad news, Melvin. Thanks for letting me know though. I saw them live once or twice when they toured Europe and played a club nearby. Although they were mostly electric I enjoyed their acoustic clips on YT the most.
I must have been at this show:
Good day folkses.
Often came upon the term "boomer bends" lately. Anybody care to tell me what's up with it?
Grey and dreary here....

'Morgen/abend, Tommo,
and HELLO everybody!
I spent Friday afternoon to Tuesday afternoon on an epic spontaneous roadtrip, as my childhood friend (since 1966) invited me out to his new place.
In spite of all the unpacking and decluttering that I still had(have) to do, I said to myself "you've been to enough funerals to know that when an old friend wants to see you, you say yes as often as is practical."
And I hadn't seen this fellow for at least 15 years.
So off I went, on a 6-hr round trip to my old stompin' grounds.
Typical Syracuse-area weather: grey and clammy the whole time!
Still, we had a good time talking and eating and drinking.
(He's quite a good DIY brewer.
I got back yesterday afternoon and decided to go to tavern trivia to help out my team, so, a couple-three hours for settling down and I'm back on the highway again. No wonder my Matrix has over 205,000 miles on it.
Now I'm figuring I've had enough socializing.
It's time to get back to work making my roomful of stuff into a comfortable apartment.
(It's a superb apartment for cheap and I am lucky to have it... I just need to finish unpacking, and finding a place for everything, then empty my horrifically expensive storage space and find a place for whatever I don't donate or discard.)
(Where dafuq am I going to put my Everlast heavy bag? I've had that since the late '70s.
