"War Eagle!" is the battle cry for Auburn University athletics...not to be confused with Auburn's mascot, the Tiger.

Steve yzerman was my favourite hockey player and I owned a nice cherry sunburst Yairi, when I updated my name I threw an extra n on the end

One of my favorite bands when I was 13 (and even now) was Rammstein. When I made my screen name all those years ago (mid 30s now), I used my favorite song of theirs, “Der Meister,” and added my age. However, dermeister13 was taken, so I just mirrored 13 with 31 and kept it at that. Now it’s just a junk screen name/username I use for things.

Here’s the song, if anyone is interested.

Thumbs up

TBman

T = Tyler, our youngest son

B = Barry, my middle name, which I detest, but use instead of my first name
due to certain circumstances back in the 70's and 80's and then it stuck.


Man = nickname of our oldest son.

Maybe one of these days I'll stage a coup and go back to my first name,

When the fact that there had never been any "vintage" Martin 000-17s in existence was finally accepted as true, I became interested in what guitar might be the "replacement", if such a thing existed. The obvious choice, to me, was the Harmony H165. I started X-bracing and modifying them. They work just fine to fill my imaginary "missing link" in the vintage Martin guitar family tree.
