Stunning bass BP....was wondering which way they sawed the tree to get that grain (silly question I know but just made me wonder)

They don't saw them at all. They keep special High Desert Beavers in a pond out back and put them to work on the special pieces, gnawing with great precision and enthusiasm.

No i havent played other that sittin in a few times since the desert bash last spring. My next gig is your birthday....its down to about four times a year and I wish it was more.

We'll have to get you up for at least one tune with Cowpilot. They're really quite frightened of you.

I believe price for the birdseye maple went up and availability went down, because it has become more popular in many businesses, like furniture , wood floors, etc.

Hey BP, if those four gigs are three months apart at least you can say you’re booked year round. :D

I’m playing out very little right now in light of things, in fact my band “The Sky Kings” are booked so little that now whenever we do gig we call it a reunion…
