Great composition with these pics, thanks!

Thanks and Godspeed, Brother. RIP. It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that the Betts family announce the peaceful passing of Forrest Richard 'Dickey' Betts (December 12, 1943 - April 18, 2024) at the age of 80 years old. The legendary performer, songwriter, bandleader and family...

Congrats, those are beautiful.

That is my understanding as well. Love the dark board and speed knobs along with the layout so I wouldn't give it up, either. Good luck!

Yes, raise stop tail or top wrap

False. Per examples cited. Unless you subscribe to some [original meaning] non-binary fuzzy math. Or, you believe you can get 'a little pregnant...'

Yeah, I should've said not mentioned. He definitely looked.
