Gee Paul, i was just wondering, no offence intended, believe me! And i completely agree with your choices, and it was nice to see the guys (the Men) on these pages... (and Melissa's baby, too...)
In any case, it's your thing and it's your choice - it was your idea!!!! Peace?..

Why are you explaining yourself? You have done a marvellous job. Remember folks this work is pro bono. In other words Paul does this out of the goodness of his heart.

Thank you Paul.

Don't you see, if I question the contents and raise a flag or two, it's because I CARE about it !! When I record music, and play it for people, I expect some shrugs and occasional protest, it's part of the fun. If someone blankly says "gee, that's great", I know it did not impact them. In many cases, though, some people just don't get (the) music, I'm sure many of you all know what I mean. Anyway, that tangent set aside, I, by no means, meant to tweak Paul, we all know his work is top notch, and the calendar looks great, as do the shirts, I want one ! His calling me by my last name only shows that Paul knows how to engage in this sort of discussion, he is a witty writer, after all. Also, cheers to John for getting my Lebowski reference - The Dude Abides.

Great job, Paul. IMO they all fit in extremely well with the theme. I reckon you'd need a 52 week calendar to have a chance of pleasing everybody. Thanks for all your hard work.

Y'know, i'm not really into those older Capri-style guitars, but the Mapleglo on the cover shot is SO pretty! I wish Amber Mapleglo came to look like that.

Just to clarify ... Miss December not my new '05 370/12, it's my former '93 370/12. I sold it to another forum member a few months ago. Had I known it was going to be Miss December I would have held out for more money! A few others here have owned it as well, so it's nice to see it immortalized in some way for us all.

Excellent work Paul, we expected no less! Thanks again.

Jim, I believe I credited it on the Photo as a '05, since you sent me shots of two very similar 370s. If so, my apologies. I will change the art as soon as I see if it was wrong.

Great calendar Paul! And some reissue shirts too! Ordered mine today as well.

Congrats out to all the forumites who contributed. The photos are all very cool! Looking up dates on this will be so much cooler than referring to Windows Calendar...

Whoa... time for a beer. I'm all wowed out for today.
