my sister says she likes living in town because she is close to everything, which is funny to me cause when we go visit here it takes us 45 min to an hour to go anywhere she mentions. there is more stuff to do, but it takes a long time to to get to anywhere in Dallas
I grew up on a farm. Now I'm a fool for the city. I love it here. Gas station and convenience store 5 houses down the street. every restaurant known to man within two miles, golf course across the street, hardware and store and bank up the street, and the AF Base two miles down the street for groceries. Even a Hospital ER less than a mile away.
that wouldn't be bad, at my sisters it seems to take a 30 min to get out of her neighborhood, then you get on the 635 loop and drive a while, lots of stuff on the highway, but it's a headache getting of and off without getting run over, then there are 500 thousand people that are going to the same place you are, after driving an hour, then you have to wait in line
my bro in law mows and weedeats his yard and it takes him less than ten min taking out , mowing and putting up equipment. their whole backyard is concrete and a pool
one of her brothers tried to buy it, he got drunk and backed over his 1960 Gibson J50, called her and said he wanted to buy her guitar, she pretty much told him how stupid he was and No, it wasn't for sale. her other brother has about the same year model Gibson, he may get drunk, but he doesn't get out any of his instruments when he drinks
Our rhythm guitar player has a Martin. She's played it her whole adult life, and it's beat to crap. Best sounding guitar I ever heard in real life. I doubt it will ever be for sale, probably get burried with her.
My first guitar was a Silvertone (Sears model). It was 1968 and I was in high school,but hanging out at the "hippy hangout" there at Indiana University. Fella came through from Flint Michigan, and he needed gas money to get back to Flint. He had a Silvertone guitar that he had gotten from a roommate who didn't want it anymore. He sold it to me for 20 bucks. As cheap as it was - - it actually sounded half-way decent.
Aluminum El Degas was my first banjo that I really worked hard to learn. I had a Framus before that one, but didn't do much with it - I didn't have " the bug" yet.
my brother played the drums, my sisters the flute and piccalo, I try the banjo but not well, our kids don't play anything, the oldest tried the piano and the youngest the fiddle, but neither stuck with it much
