Missed out

[Volini]

One of these was for sale at the swop shop in Carlton - http://www.musicswopshop.com.au/SwoppyIt...man=Gibson - and I unfortunately missed it. Good price too. I'm a bit obsessed with guitars at the moment.

I keep going back to look at the pics. I love that tobacco burst look.

Apparently my old man purchased a blonde coloured Hammond organ from the states recently for a really good price. He has the Australian organ fraternity up in arms because they all wanted it. He probably thinks he's pretty tough right now.

I reckon you should go for a hollow body myself.

[Volini]

I'm not gettin' one. It was just a passing fancy, besides, I'm still going through this book, tune by tune -



Sax is too good and I'm certainly not going to dissipate my energy by going in all these different directions all at the same time. Focus - that's what it's all about.

Plus, if I play guitar I doubt I could really live with myself, but they sure are purty to look at.

huh?
What's it gonna cost to get it here?

[Volini]

Hey good for your old man Sam.

BTW....if he ever does get that thing over here you should ask him to jam with us eh.

Hey Ambrose, it''ll cost a heap. My sax cost over a hundred bucks to send from the states, and it's like a couple of kilo.

It's here. And everyone is green with envy. Built in the 50's, he says it's like new. He payed some ridiculously low price for it, like $4500 or something.
Anyway, he's had organs before, he had to sell his B3, amongst other things, when my parents split 15 odd years ago.

I only spoke to him on fathers's day and before that, I spoke to him in January. My dad's a friendly man but as a father I find it dificult to connect with him. He's set in his ways, very eccentric, mismanages his money etc. But just say nice things to him if you ever meet okay !

You want to play with him? I'll give you his number.

[SamG]

You have a conversation starter DB, you both went to the same school.

[Ambrose]

Didn't answer my Q Sam.
How much to get it here?
