I still remember when Buffett was just a guy with a guitar who played folk clubs like The Quiet Knight in Chicago and played some songs he’d written. Margaritaville was one of them.

Doc, I don’t think you need to worry about this at all. Fiddlerina and I play for people of all ages all the time and we never do anything they might have heard on the radio.
Choose music you like. Do some fancy gittar numbers and some songs that you love to sing or have meaning to you. Those are the songs that will get the best response and keep them wanting more.
The older folks seem to prefer up tempo tunes to ballads. If they like you and your music they’ll want you back and will start asking for the tunes you do.
Trust yourself, your ability, and taste. They’ll appreciate it.

… a video of me doing "Early Morning rain" … here's the link to show I'm still trying to play. Bruce, that’s a great job. Thank you for sharing that. It put a big smile on my face. I’m so happy that you’re still at it and I totally sympathize with your efforts to navigate the technology. Please keep at it.

We have two or three large ice chests.

Clever. You almost don't notice his confusion of categories or his omniscient, transcendent point of view. The author is entitled to his own facts. He's not entitled to his own truth. Don’t you have that 160° backwards? He is not entitled to his own facts but, like you and the rest of us, he is entitled to his own truth.

I sent him a Facebook message. If anyone has his email I’d appreciate it as well. Maybe a phone number Mark where I could text him, could send by private message. Thanks Done.

I can’t seem to find Paul Schlimm’s contact info in members or messages. Anyone have a link to contact him? Thanks and thanks for all the concern folks. I have two phone numbers and a home address but no email. I’m sure he would enjoy hearing from you. We are praying for you too.

I made a PDF and put in Adobe’s cloud. I’ll try to make it more available.
Because of an image, the PDF was too big to upload as an attachment.

Want to not totally solve but lessen a whole lot of problems at once. As cruel as it sounds, cut the population in half. I personally think a bigger cut would be needed but it would be a start. When I was born in 1942 the global population was around 2.2 billion people. Today, the global population is over 8 billion, give or take 50 million or so. Nearly four times as many people as when I was born. A single lifetime. Pete Seeger was right about doubling every 42 years.

Doc Watson never worried about how things look. I close my eyes when I play quite a bit. I’ve done that, and it can help. I don’t look at the fretboard anyway, all I can see are the dots on the edge of the fretboard. But looking away so don’t see my hand or the guitar’s neck at all can be very helpful sometimes.

Dar fixed cornbread and red beans and rice. One of my favorite ways to eat. Her cornbread is the kind that's like cake -- a little sweet and raised (not flat). It's not a bad stand-in for dessert. Tonight my supervisor locked three of us (himself included) out of the office. We were all standing on the dock, each trying our hand at the combination lock. Apparently the postmaster had a locksmith in today and changed the combination but forgot to tell anyone what the new combination was. Fortunately, my keys were in my jeep. Unfortunately, my phone remains at the office 'til tomorrow. You used the image button instead of video.

Anybody bringing drinkables for Friday night? If I can figure out how to keep it cold, I can supply some genuine St. Cloud-brewed growlers from Beaver Island--or something more conventional but still Minnesotan (Surly comes to mind). Not sure what local regulations might apply to a private party in a public space. Try to imagine a raid by the Garrison Police force.

That's really wonderful. Of course, this remains one of my favorite renditions.

Are Elixirs hex or round core? They should be hex core. Bob Taylor told me Elixer does not make strings, they coat strings bought from 4 other string makers. I think there are way more string brands and string companies than there are actual string foundries. They just give the foundries their specs and package the product. I’ve heard there are even fewer wire sources.
