Aw, c'mon Tom.


I'm not against technical advancements. however, there are some
traditional things I enjoy.


Like playing my upright bass, whose design has gone unchanged for
practically 400 years.


That kind of stuff.


Ever see this?

My oldest and I built a maple box guitar for a school project once.
The hardest part was making the pegs we used for tuners on the
headstock.. It got her a great grade, she still has it.. Technically,
it was an Ukelele with only 4 strings, tuned to "my dog has fleas",
just the way me mum used to do with hers..
