Well, you know Bill....too much of that stuff and you'll be making way too many lily-watering trips. Will there be lilies at IJam?

Now I'm going to have that image in my head every time I hear about treaties in the news. Thanks.

I'm actually closer to Owen Sound than I am to Roseville... but I don't know if I'll be able to make it to either.

I thought the airlines had loosened their rules about traveling with guitars. Air Canada doesn't even do gate checks anymore, nor, it seems, does American. It's either buy a seat for it or check it as baggage. American sometimes allows for carry-on if the instrument fits in an approved stowage space, but I would think on a small NY-Toronto flight, there is no space to accommodate it. This means check it as baggage in a Calton case (which I have) and pray they don't toss it around like a basketball, and that sudden changes in temperature and pressure won't affect it.
Also, I believe the head plate is dalbergia nigra, which means I probably need to ask Huss and Dalton for a certificate of provenance for the wood (assuming they have kept ten-year-old documents). To quote Pooh Bear, "Oh, bother!"

Howard, there will be guitars a plenty around the Jensen Mann household. We have a pretty fine pile. I know you would much rather have your own, but if you can't manage to bring one, we have lots of instruments for you to play.

I just did some online research regarding crossing and recrossing the US-Canadian border with an instrument that has even a little PIECE of Braz. RW upon it. You would not believe the hoops and USFWS forms one has to jump through, and the fines and jail time involved for knowingly (or unknowingly) transporting such plant material across the border! It is especially crazy trying to get it back into the USA. Too crazy. Too much legalese. I intend to take you up on your kind and generous offer, sekh. I like my guitar, and I cherish my freedom.

Hhhhm. You're scaring me Howard.
I've been up and back there twice now with Ernie, the 1959 Gibson. I was expecting to bring Ernie again. But there ain't no gommint agent gonna pry Ernie away from my possession.
Over my dead body.
I suppose I could bring Sunnie, the Taylor GS mini. Nothing illegal on that (except spray paint). But it's not in the sonnic league of Ernie.
PS - Looks like we're cleared (Kari, William, & I) for driving up Thursday and back on Monday.

Howard has to go through customs at the airport. Most of us will simply drive past the booth at Port Arthur, answer a few questions about plants and food products, and claim we're visiting friends in Owen Sound. The only way they'd ever look through your things is if you look suspicious like say you smile a lot and one of your passengers is wearing short pants.

Exactly right, Dub. And after doing a bunch of research I have learned that the problem is greater when you want to re-enter the USA. This morning I also had a conversation with Jeff Huss at Huss and Dalton, and after tossing the topic around a little, he suggested that no one really knows how to interpret the law. However, I don't want to leave my guitar's destiny up to a customs agent who can't tell the difference between Brazilian and East Indian rosewood. Jeff H. suggested that if I don't have to bring the guitar with me, I'd be better off leaving it at home. It will certainly make air travel simpler.

Hmmm. Maybe I'll pack a harmonica--one that I won't mind having seized.

Suspicious? . . . , Hammond will be in the car, you know.
