It's hard to believe it's almost July 4th. Here in the USA, a lot of us celebrate it as Independence Day. I would like to encourage everyone this weekend to be safe. I know a lot of people have taken time off from work for this event.
So happy 4th to you all! Hope there will be lots of BBQ time along with family and friends.
Be blessed!

Thanks Eddie, we'er traveling this 4th. In Champaign I'll at my daughters place. Where part of the Willard airport roof was torn off by 80 mile an hour winds just before we landed. We were rerouted to Saint Louis. Two and a half hours away and had to get a rental car to drive it. As it's turns out a guy in line way ahead of us got his car announced that he had room for 4 people and luggage. So we took him up on the offer. Another strange twist is he has built three acoustic guitars. Two Stew Mac kits and one scratch build.
So we were blessed twice. We missed having the roof blown off over our heads and we got a ride.

WOW! Scary and cool all at once! Looks like there is a huge heat wave hitting most of the USA, causing a lot of bad storms all across the USA.
I keep coming across people, as well, that make guitars or someone tells me of a family member that does. Seems to be a lot more out there making guitars than one thinks.
There seems to be a lot of guitar makers on YT these days. When I first started out, there was hardly anyone online making guitars. SAGA guitars were the only kit guitars to be found back then.
Well, be safe and have lots of fun!

That was a real close shave Dane, and a total coincidence to meet another guitar builder. I'll bet he's Googled Jonah Guitars by now!
In another coincidence, we're on "vacation" too- we're at our old favourite place in Hartsop in the English Lake District about 300 miles slightly to the west of north from London. It's a beautiful place surrounded by 2,500 foot "mountains, and around a dozen lakes radiating out like spokes from a wheel hub. I hope you enjoy your trip. It's windy and wet here with occasional rays of sunshine, none of that stultifying moisture laden heat that Eddie is putting up with.
Happy fourth of July guys anyway.

I saw a great free concert on Independence Day. Cassadee Pope, Stone Temple Pilots, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Huge crowd and nice weather.
Still enjoy live music, and everybody pretty well behaved themselves!

Free was it? If STP didn't play this: youtu.be/ht672-wYelcI'd have tried for my money back(!) This too: youtu.be/yjJL9DGU7GgSan Diego's finest. I believe one of them passed fairly recently? I would have loved to have been there John. でつ e&oe ...

They have a replacement lead singer...sad story...but they sounded really great. It was a great show. Would travel to see them. John
