I am selling my 12-string Chapman Grand Stick on eBay, and the auction ends tomorrow night. I have a 10-string that I play much more regularly, and both are in fantastic shape. My hands are just too small for me to get comfortable with the 12-string, but they are smaller …

I have a more recent picture of Evie available on the links to the left. Still haven’t gotten to organizing them all. Time to go practice, I love my new GuitarPort!
I ordered a new Variax yesterday from Guitar Center. A lot of “talkback lusers” seem to have a problem with GC, but I never have. Plus I have a friend who works there who got me a deep discount price. ? Hopefully I should see it in a few weeks; …
I played one of the Variax guitars this weekend at Chuck Levin’s in Wheaton, MD. The physical report is that they are a very good value for their cost ($909), especially considering the cost of the electronic components that do the guitar modeling. This guitar feels more solid and playable …

Happy 2003! We had a wonderful NYE, with friends visiting from Richmond and Charlottesville. My wife and her dance troupe performed for First Night, and Evie really enjoyed seeing them as well. She also liked being wheeled around town after dark, with all the streets lit up with holiday lights …

Christmas treated me pretty well — a Line 6 GuitarPort, and a bunch of books, including Chuck Palahniuk’s new book Lullaby, Umberto Eco’s new book Baudolino, a beautiful HC, slipcased Lord of the Rings trilogy, and an equally beautiful HC, slipcased The Hobbit. Plus some Best Buy GC’s which I …
All right, although I haven’t caught up with getting all my pictures of Evie uploaded, there are a bunch of them in the site now. The unfortunate part is that I have to build pages for them, since the Mac server where this page is sitting doesn’t automatically deliver index …
