A not so brief look at the virtues of old growth Honduran mahogany that was fashioned into timeless tools of war by the (arguably….but not with me) greatest guitar company in human history that resided in a little town called Kalamazoo.
I will lay out the Plexi Soul “down under” shipping situation soon….special thanks to Jedd’s dad.
Thanks for watching the show and sorry for the gratuitous “over posting” and shameless flogging of all things Homeskoolin’….no sessions for a while…a man gets “bored” sometimes….so then that man sells a few of his tools of war…so that he can then purchase some other tools of war.
R.I.P. John Madden….one of the greatest football personalities that ever walked the streets of America
