My Duo-Sonic Hathe Arriveth!

Sounds like a reasonable excuse for a party, if one is needed.

Ahhh, only two more days wait ...

Hey Kira,now you look like a real Duo-Sonic player

[kiramdear]

Hey, who's in that picture?

Same girl as in your avatar.

Cool! I never saw her play guitar, only clarinet.

[jimk]

OK, I'll bite. So who is this clarinetist/guitarist when she's at home?

[kiramdear]

That's Patti Smith, Jim. They call her the "Godmother of Punk".

[whojamfan]

Married Fred "Sonic" Smith of the MC5,(notable Rick user), and was happy she didn't have to change her last name. Probably most known for her song "Because the Night"(written by Bruce Springsteen)and her reworked cover of "Gloria".

And now you know...the rest of the story.

[kiramdear]

Horses is my favorite album of hers.

[jimk]

Oh yes, another one of those names I recognize, but of whom I have seldom seen a photo.

See? I'm not totally out of it...just partially!

I had the original tuners on my Duo-Sonic re-buttoned.they seem to be in good working order so I am going to put them back on.I was going to put the bag of crumbles on Ebay as "Rare Pre CBS Fender Tuner Dust" but someone told me I should keep it as verification that I rebuttoned the original tuners.

Cool, Mitch. I like your dedication. That guitar is worth it.

Thanks Kira,besides the button issue,these tuners are in good shape.I didn't want them to just turn into a pile of dust so I thought even if I don't put them back on the guitar,I could turn the gears every once in a while to keep them working.
