JHC! I know what your world is coming to, in New Zealand.
First of all, lots of floods.
They found an ancient site they say goes back 300,000 years.
What is called the greatest "haka" ever was done by a French soccer team.
Your female Prime Minister appeared as a hologram for a political convention.
Those glow worms in the caves are being photographed as never before,
and people are swimming with orca more than ever.
You're having access problems here that I'm not.
Months ago, this site was down for two days, and a week later it didn't show for a day.
My world is really changing.
I've been looking for a left-handed tremolo unit like the 1972 Fender Stratocaster I ordered in 1972.
I used that to build my second semi-solid-body, so I need an identical one.
After a year in the Niagara Peninsula, I got online with Ontario music stores, nothing.
A music store friend in Toronto found a 1970 Stratocaster tremolo unit for sale,
in a California music store, asking $5,500. I paid $150 plus taxes in 1972.
Please, look at this link to see how I'm getting a left-handed tremolo unit.
An employee is looking to see if he can just order the tremolo for me,
but that doesn't matter.
If this tremolo fits into my semi-solid-body, I'll use it for that.
I'll also buy another kit to build a lefty guitar I can carry around outside.
The rightk-handed Stratocaster style guitar I bought and changed to be left-handed,
is all right, but I can't play a G or A barre chord past the twelfth fret.
And I always use the tremolo arm, when I don't when it's right-handed.
It gets in the way more than it helps.
I could get a lefty Telecaster, Les Paul or 335 at these prices.
They have a nice f-hole acoustic-electric, but not left-handed.
I just phoned in my order this afternoon.

I really don't feel competitive with Django Reinhardt.
From what I know, he never got up and started dancing around,
or sang.
Walking around with this cherry Strat and portable Boss amp is changing my life.
My biggest compliment is people saying they never met anyone who plays the way I do.
That's mostly about playing fast, like a violin or sax, not just rock and blues.
I'm also singing songs and making up words to suit the moment, really getting into that.
Yes, this world is changing if I'm getting into some blatant self-promotion.
My first day, offered a gig in a duo, asked to rehearse with a band,
and asked to be a strolling troubadour as a Sunday gig at a big business,
across from City Hall, downtown people wanting to make a political statement.
I better go. I need to calm down.
It's one thing to type, it's another to be using my fingers for playing guitar,
and getting them too excited all the time.
these digits are made for digitizing, and that's just what they'll do,
and one of these nights these digits are going to digitize all over you.
