I'm too busy playing to worry about the movement or the fingerboard.

About the only other thing I'd want would be a wider neck. My fingers are so fat that sometimes I deaden the string next to the one I'm fretting.

Don't worry... it's not loaded...

Sometimes I'll be playing along and find I'm missing the strings. I'll worry about it for days until I notice that the pick has worn down to half its size.

God, how I still love private readers. It’s what we all used to be.

Some people are so impoverished all they have is gold.

Lack of comfort means we are on the threshold of new insights.

It is nobler to love the person next to you than to love mankind in general.
