Fun fact:
When the colonists first landed in Australia and made contact with the aborigines.. the botanist, spotting this weird looking mammal with large tail jumping around, asked a local.. “what is this animal called?” .. to which the reply came “kangaroo!”
The botanical expert took note and revelled in the discovery of this new species and the first documented evidence of a “kangaroo” was made..

“Kangaroo” in aboriginal means-
“I don’t understand”

lol.

And my point is that ALL musicians should be able to afford and play the best equipment.. as they are TOOLS of the trade.. pricing out working musicians to cater for the yacht club bragging brigade is loathsome and a insult to musicians.. who these products are made for..

I weep for all those top end amps and guitars that are only brandished on weekends to impress the soulless dentist associates.

Cool can not be bought.. only earned.
I belong to a yacht club. Am I rich? Hardly. Some really down to earth people there. One was a session drummer that worked with many top names. He has stories... One other member many years ago one night brought by John Lennon with Julian. I do have credit on a few albums. I'll be on the lookout for anyone bragging about guitar gear for ya.

So...can I still believe that it was foggy when the Dutch sailed into what was to be New Amsterdam, and somebody sort of squinted to the port side and said, "Hey... s'dat an island?"

Yeah, totally get what you say.

My boat has oars. I keep it on the dingy rack. Nothing high society or snooty there.

Human powered. No gas, diesel, or batteries. I just quietly glide around the harbor. I do it for exercise because a bike accident nearly killed me.

Cheers!
