Seriously trivial thoughts
Floor and wall space is at a premium in my office and I was looking for a way to hang my guitars so I could free up the space the cases took up. I was just about to order the typical hangers–where the guitar hangs parallel to the wall–until I stumbled onto String Swing’s Slatwall …
I’m getting one for our entry way…this won’t get annoying at all…
How could we resist going to the Black Forest Festival since it’s literally right up the street from our place? So happy Roxanne, Andrew and Jeffrey joined us.

With a gratuitous nod to Brian May and Queen, here’s the 25-guitar version of the Star Spangled Banner. Prolly could have added just a little more stuff to the arrangement, but it’s pretty good.
I for one am excited that this topic is at least on someone’s radar. It’s been one of my pet peeves for a long time. Perhaps if the EU does away with daylight savings time, the US will follow suit or at least discuss. BTW I sent a tweet to the President on this, but …
