So UncleJ got any

we don't carry too many cd's for sale in the store. not enough room. but between my partner and me we probably have 300 or so in our personal collections. i know he's got some dr. demento and i've got quite a bit of old doo wop stuff. the sax player for johnny d and the rocket 88's just moved to town and buys his reeds from us now. if i knew his name i'd drop it. neither of us is really into jazz so not much of that. but i've got a pretty good collection of old blues on vinyl at home. all the king brothers and the like.
 
That is cool to be located in an area where famousness is around.

what is the strangest and rarest types of instruments you havee or have worked on at the store
 
it is pretty cool. ray wylie hubbard lives here and buys picks at the store. willis allan ramsey (muskrat love) has a studio two doors down and buys his strings from me.

instrument? i have a mandolin in my personal collection that is at least 1890 vintage. the manufacturer's tag is still in it and in 1890 he joined sears, roebuck making banjos, mandolins and guitars. it was brought to me in a box in pieces by a lady friend. plays pretty good now. i've worked on some ouds (sp?) from the mid-east and have restrung some really old fiddles.

That is so cool about the madolin

Do you ever get to jam or anything with the names?
 
there's a bluegrass jam session every friday night at a friend's restaurant and i've sat in with ray hubbard a couple of times. the cool thing about it is that everybody leaves him alone he just picks like the rest of us. i've jammed a bunch with a guy that you might not know or remember. michael knutz. was the lead guitarist with an older psychadelic (again sp?) band called fever tree. how the hell do you spell that by the way?

scary thing is this 27, 3 days less 28 recognizes those names more so than half the trash coming out today. I often thought I was born 20 years two late considering my tastes in music morals and other things.

I think you spelled it right, but I am unsure of spellings myself. thanks for stiring some good musical memories, I just wish I had payed attention to what I liked in order to talk about them more informedly :9

It comes down to my redneck sayings "I knows what I like when I like it."

Is that the one on the top shelf you showed to me? If it is then Todd, unclej did a wonderful job restoring it. It was the piece that caught my eye the first time we visited there. (don't give me a hard time that it WASN'T all of the guitars, okay?...*grin*)
