We have a lot of musicians. My son has about a dozen dobros, I have 4 sets of bagpipes and a few harmonicas. Somebody got a hell of a deal from my ex when she sold my Steinway.

I have to agree with Edgar ,seems as we have a lot of musicians in the Parker Family ! When I was a Boy ,I used to play that old Guitar for hours every day even did a little pickin at the local Fairs and stuff when I was between 8 to 12 years old or so , I really have no idea why I lost interest but now a days I am lucky to pick it up a couple of times a year and when I do I'm lousy !!!!!!!!!!!!! Chris ,I have a Buddy that has a beautiful Martin ,an old one but he claims his Gretsch is his favorite !

Looks like Mr. Fin2Feather has a D-28 or D-35 Martin hanging on his wall.

I played for years, but then just got away from it after I got married at age 40. My wife got me guitar lessons for Christmas last year, and I continued with them--every Wed night. Favorite artist to play is James Taylor

Looks like a good weekend to retreat to the man cave. Sub zero and 6 inches of snow on the way. Going to re-read an old upland classic from my library, play some guitar, currently working on Kenny Loggins "House at Pooh Corner", load some shells, play with the dogs, and open that small batch bottle of bourbon my son gave me for Christmas.

My cousin, Harry, made banjoes and I always meant to buy one and learn how to play it.

Larry, born under the right stars I guess... I know... probably not your stereotypical trap shooter of today.
