Blogger just wasn't happening for me yesterday. I tried several times throughout the afternoon/evening to log on, but it wouldn't cooperate; problem seems to have been remedied today.

Anyone who plays guitar, bass, banjo, or mandolin: check out www.webstrings.com. I happened upon the site while searching for flatwounds for my guitar: they sell the same strings being manufactured for all the "big name" companies for less than half the price. Shipping is free on orders over twelve bucks. I bought three sets of acoustic and two sets of electric strings and paid $14.25. You can't beat that with a hammer.
