Must have crossed up my books. I wish I could find that "I Love" book. It's here in the house somewhere along with the Bacon book you signed for me.

I'm with you, Howard. I'd believe JH over any other "experts".

John..I for one would love to see a 75th Anniversary book, regardless of the pundits. There will always be those who think they know more about your business than you do, from the so called 'experts' to the novice.
I'm with Howard, you wait for the 100th Anniversay and I could be pushin' up the proverbial daisies.

You would think that the people who make up stories do so because there is no official book to set them straight. There's only so much you can do without that knowledge that JH and others have.
If the 100th book comes out, I'll be 65. And probably still be playing!

I have been trashed on the internet ... I have come to the point that my opinion is "Who Cares what they say about me" ... so go ahead and do the book and if some people want to hold onto alternate versions of the past then "Who Cares?!!" ... what they say and think can only effect you if you let it ...

John as the title of an old TV show once informed us:

YOU WERE THERE.

Who the h*** cares that any self-important, self-proclaimed "authorities" want to make fools out of themselves by trying to tell anyone who cares to listen that the sky is green?

Any book you could or would write (non-fiction) would become an authoritative work and an historical document.

Okay Woody, you've had more than four days now; any luck on the price list showing the VN option?

I talked to Woody Fri. He believes that he saw it on a pricelist flyer. He'll check on it soon. In the mean time, he picked up a '74 365 OS. FG, 21 frets, full width inlays. I wonder if it was a "leftover" body?
