This little Collings guitar is a jewel. I bought it from my musician friend Paul Clark several years ago. It's a 000 body joined at the 12th fret to the body with a slotted head. The wood is warm yet percussive when you bang out a chord. I just put new strings on it and I'm loving it--this is probably my favorite acoustic guitar. I like the tone better than my Taylor or Martin--a fine instrument and a great songwriting guitar.

Sweet. I really enjoy your music. There is a song, "10,000 Miles," I'd like to hear it again and again.
Hello Skip. You don't know me but my name is Samantha and I attend Calvary. It's awesome to know my pastor has such a passion about music because I do too. I attended the McCain Town Hall Meeting today (July 15, 2008) and I noticed you were there. I also noticed that you wanted to ask Senator McCain a question but he, unfortunately, did not call on you. My question to you is, what was your question to McCain going to be? I was just curious. God Bless.

Samantha:
Yes, I had my hand raised the whole time. I had two questions, the first of which was answered in the course of the discussion which dealt with Israel and the Iranian threat. I was curious about dealing with the ongoing instability in the region, especially our support of our strongest Middle East ally--Israel.
The second question I had concerned the role McCain would envision for interacting with faith-based organizations. I was at the White House some time back when President Bush called for leaders in the faith community to reach out to those with AIDs without compromising their spiritual values--an historic precedent in this current obsession with separation of church and state. I was wondering what McCain's posture would be. Thanks for reading the blog, Samantha! God bless you.
