George Gruhn artilcle on the Pros & Cons of Collectors

So 'sad' that so much memory wasted on actually remembering many of these tunes. Last month already getting fuzzy while "...who is the tall dark stranger there, Maverick is his name..." sit on the edge of the brain...what a waste.

Got get 'em Mark...TV sets indeed!!

Man, you gotta have Rawhide in that medley!

Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'...
Keep those doggies rollin'...

Have you ever heard the version of "Gilligan's Island" to the tune of Zeppelin's "Stairway to heaven?"

Back to boats... quoting Stan Rogers... they're "a hole in the water where your money goes...." From "Man with Blue Dolphin" on his "From Fresh Water" album.

Wow has this thread veered off course!

Wow has this thread veered off course!

I think that's what we do best.

I like the Rawhide version from City Slickers....

Rollin', rollin', rollin', keep them dogies rollin', man my a$$ is swollen, Rawhide! Get 'em up, move 'em out, wake 'em up, get 'em dressed, get 'em shaved, comb their hair, Rawhide! Tie me down, tell me lies, pull my hair, smack my thighs - with a big wet strap of, Rawhide!

Not "doggies", GM, "DOGIES".

• Noun 1. dogie - motherless calf in a range herd of cattle
  dogy, leppy
  calf - young of domestic cattle.
  Regional Note: In the language of the American West, a motherless calf is known as a dogie. In Western Words Ramon F. Adams gives one possible etymology for dogie, whose origin is unknown. During the 1880s, when a series of harsh winters left large numbers of orphaned calves, the little calves, weaned too early, were unable to digest coarse range grass, and their swollen bellies "very much resembled a batch of sourdough carried in a sack." Such a calf was referred to as dough-guts. The term, altered to dogie according to Adams, "has been used ever since throughout cattleland to refer to a pot-gutted orphan calf."

I try to dedicate time to a different guitar each evening. Don't want one getting jealous, you know... Each one is special in its own way. I'm absolutely taken with my Guilds and probably more attached to them than any others for reasons you LTGers understand. The Yamaha also gets better and better with age and it has been around the world with me, so I love it for sentimental reasons. Hmmmmm; might be a song there someplace... I play them all regularly except that Taylor. It lives at the luthier... What was I thinking? :lol:

Hey Mark; Go with this one for the Wyatt Earp theme song:

Yeah, but if you raised dogs, you'd have a herd of 'doggies'; no different than herds of amps or herds of guitars...

"Keep them doggies rollin' along....."

You could name them after your favorite model and call to them as follows:

"Here D-55" or
"Here JF30" or
"Here Usually-At-The-Luthier" or
"Here Sump'n-I-Wish-I-Hadn't-Bought...."

Speaking of heardz (mostly that other 'G' brand):

Sweet,

Would you care to comment on the lap steel on the far left, leastwise it looks like a lap steel. ?

 

[Graham]

Very, very cool Cap.

Just a nice pic of someone else's herd, it's not my gear. If it was, I'd liquidate and follow Guilds O' Grot around and pick up his cast-offs or turn-downs.

I was just trying to stay OT...although in this thread, easier said than done... :shock:
