Good try, wish I'd thought of it first.

Tough room. Reminded me of one from a previous year where a member put up a post about a neighbors wife selling guitar saying it might be an ovation with a picture of an olson guitar showing.

Really, the article was brilliant!
Thanks for the chuckle, OMG.

I was about to call up some of my students (who own Martins or Gibsons) and tell them the shocking news.

Henry has probably had enough of lawyers and regulators for a while. Doubt he's asking for more.
