That's just it, I haven't been fretting, much, for a long time!

It's really not a good slide guitar, but oh, does it sound awesome with 
ordinary fretted picking and strumming! So I'm working on that stuff, 
which I've so long neglected as I've worked on slide that I've mostly 
forgotten how! Got to work on being able to play it as it ought to be! 
I was working (among other things) on "Stormy Monday" this afternoon. 
Can't play it fluently yet, but man, do those jazzy chords sound sweet!

The guys at the guitar shop today all agreed it was good karma, for 
Jane and me giving my young teacher Jason a new Johnson Tricone a few 
months ago. (About the same time as I registered for this thing, come 
to think of it.) Billy Crawford says that's "Guitarma."

I think I'll have to pass on that. Besides, Jane has sternly warned me 
that I'm not to sell the P.T. Gibson, and the kids are in full 
agreement. So I'm just going to have to learn to play it, like a mean 
pinball.
