I couldn't have said it better. No paint by number here...

Thanks Haans. I have one room in my old basement where I store my small stash of wood and my small stash of moderately good wines. I hope they are having a nice conversation

Thanks Freeman, hopefully you have some art and food in there with your wood and wine.
Guess others would rather do paint by number...or maybe just "make mine a Bud"...

It's pretty much 55 degrees and 45 percent year around, both the wine and wood are happy. As I approach the later years of my life my goal is to reduce the wine cellar until there is one bottle left for each of my kids, Mrs K and I get the rest. And maybe there will be a few scraps of wood for my son who is also a player and woodworker. It would honor me if he built a guitar out of "that old rosewood that dad had in the basement"

Monteleone brings up another very good topic for both wine and guitar lovers - how do you describe the sounds and tastes that you are experiencing. I noticed a couple of comments to the vid where people said the guitar sounded like crap. I happened to think it sounded wonderful, but I like archtops and I always appreciate Woody Mann's playing. I'm going to guess that they wouldn't like the 1983 Cayuse syrah that I've been hording either.

Freeman, I'm afraid I don't pay much attention to the comments on Utoob. Few could tell you anything about Woody Mann either...
Personally, I don't know anything about wine, beer or anything else alcoholic, having quit that stuff 20 some years ago. I suppose I could relate to the blending, but it was Art that caught my ear. There is where you separate Warhol from Vermeer and in instruments, Eastman from Monteleone.
