Golden Era - day 1

From Jimsong56 on 7/31/2011 8:44:54 AM

After a 6 month shopping adventure and a 7 week wait, I picked up my Golden Era yesterday. With 3 spikes added by the Bucks County Folk Shop in New Britain PA, and the wonderful setup work of both Deering and Karl Dietrichs, I am set for my new musical adventures.

Two hours after getting my new "lady" home, my Washburn B-9 gave it's swan song appearance at a BBQ performance from my band "Creed's Crossing". It served me well and now is ready to be shared with a new student of the 5 String.

I look forward to many years of pleasure with my "lady".

Looking for a name to grow organically from her sleek body and if any of you have"first date experiences" with your Deering ladies, I would love to hear them.

To a wonderful rest of the summer.

Jim

	Jimsong56 says: 8/1/2011 11:10:41 AM I'd rather give my wife ear-plugs LOL. Why should I suffer ! (((sarcasm))). Have a mute if it comes to that.
	OldTimeHermit says: 8/15/2011 2:08:09 PM Deering sells mutes? I have to go get one - just made a trade in for a used Hartford (LOVE IT) but yeah, husband might not appreciate my getting in 20 minutes before work in the morning...
	Jimsong56 says: 8/16/2011 8:00:42 AM The new routine is "20 minutes" after putting the house to bed each evening. Of course, my idea of 20 minutes gets longer and longer as I discover my Deering's unique sounds and touch. I am looking at signing onto Tony Trischka's online Banjo School with my Deering offer of a free three months. Thoughts?
