Happy Days..

[Arturo Baguer]

1. After my wife getting laid off, can still pay our mortgage. Knock on wood.
2. Love where we live and the trees are full and green.
3. Read great article in New Yorker called "The Fall of Kings" about the world economic crisis and wall street.
4. Am a musician and not a stockbroker

Sorry Arturo but the happiness in this post is borderline, to say the least! I feel that neither Ken, nor Arnold, will be happy to see 'faint glimmers of hope' on a thread that is defined with the word 'happy'.
I have taken the liberty of rewritting your post:
"1. After my wife getting laid off, can still pay our mortgage. Knock on my door; I hope I've won money.
2. Love where we live and the trees are full and green. We can probably eat them.
3. Read great article in New Yorker called "The Fall of Kings" about the world economic crisis and wall street. Used the New Yorker to start a fire - warm now.
4. Am a musician and not a stockbroker, but I'm studying dentistry and have stopped using those silly green faces."

And you my friend have a future in writing copy.

P.S. Can't I keep the silly green face. So much is being taken away these days.

Nice fellow musicians. Wow! Elton John on piano. Looks like a nice string section too.

It's true, I am to fixing basses what Ivan the Terrible probably was to kissing babies. The action on my bass, in thumb position, has been too high for far too long and it has been really making me sad. This morning I read and reread Ken's and Arnold's thoughts on setup on this site. I've had my bass at three luthiers trying to get the action right. Today, following Ken's and Arnold's advice, and having set up the living room with tools and a padded table, I slowly lowered my bridge. Success!!! I am honestly feeling so happy and looking forward to lots of practice! Thank you Ken and Arnold for sharing a bit of your expertise and making an old guy (though a bit younger than Ken) very happy.
Sincere thanks - when my bass is happy, I am happy.
