but your hopes go down the drain...?

Yes. One of the best songs, and lyrics, of the 1980s. Those two lines, their placement, and their surrounding music, rise to the level of Art. ( I was afraid choosing that title might obliterate the photo ... we shall see if it does. ) Thanks for visiting. tgd

Yes. Long ago, I was consulting at a Naval Installation and I found myself on the Harbor Master's boat, waiting at the mouth of the canal into port. It was near dusk, and though the coastline was near, I was still fearful. Ever since seeing A Night To Remember as a boy, I am instrinsically fearful of the ocean. Yet there I was. Then - barely audible -- what was that? -- an ever so slight wooosh. And what is sitting beside us, ready to be led into port, but an Ohio Class Nuclear Ballistic Missile Submarine, designed to surface without a sound. Over a football field long, 24 Trident ICBMs aboard, each with multiple independently targetted reentry vehicles (nuclear warheads), and ... wooosh As a musician, one of the most beautiful things I can remember hearing. Thanks for visiting. tgd

I wonder if yu served with a fellow named Terry Vogel

Pause. As some of my past is in the clear, other parts are a bit dark, so I have a policy of not recognizing names. I often second guess whenever I write something like I wrote above. Ce La Vie. But I thank you for your interest, and wish you many happy guitars. Any new items? Any new builds? Thanks for visiting. tgd

In the process of getting a Gibson Moderne. Next up, and it may take a bit is a ES-175 .Steve Howe influence. Possibly a Brian May.or a Wolfgang.

Sounds good. I still have a neck and body that needs to be mated together; and pups, tuners and controls. And then my prized Carpathian Spruce electric guitar body which I hand shaped. Almost bought a Warmoth neck for it ... then the Moon waned. Geez, an Everest right now. Thanks for visiting. tgd

Standing below it, there was a moment of insignificance. Everyone else just walked on by ... Thankfully, other than record high waters and roads closed, nothing damaging came of it. Thanks for visiting. tgd
