RE: [Leica] Ebay item

Thib - If only. I started with a five-string banjo at about age 17 - which
is to say in another era - and about a year before turning 40, purchased a
Takamine steel string guitar and learned some basics. Then I made the
mistake of picking up the Martin and fooling with it at a music store...so,
for my 40th birthday - D-35. I never got very good with it, although it's
given me a great deal of pleasure. But I use it less and less, I have
limited range of motion in my left wrist from an auto accident about 10
years ago - it's just a lousy excuse for my lousier playing - so the more I
thought about it, the more I figured I'd get a great deal more pleasure out
of the photo equipment than the Martin. So noD28, Guild or Gibson. Just my
Martin looking for a new home. And I guess what I played was blue grass -
sort of..and anything else I could manage....

Hey BD,

If you "had" a Martin, I'm sure you still have another one don't you?
Maybe another Martin, what about a D28 or a Guild? or a Gibson?
BTW are you a country music player?
