Local Flavor: Winter's Here



I took these shots while on a walk with the Missus on Monday. While it may not be obvious, it was cold. The wind-chill was something else and a bit of hail was falling. Since then, we've added a little snow to the yard this week, too. Still -- check out that sun on the mountains! It's the "mournful season," for sure.

I have been buried in my work, as usual, but am making steady progress on a huge batch of Gibson flattops and archtops that are both for repair and for sale. It's slow-going with all of the usual winter's-coming distractions -- folks getting their guitars re-setup as the seasons change them, folks needing stuff tidied-up after the summer/fall gigging season up here, and all of the buttoning-up work to do in the house and shop to keep it warm in those -25F nights I'll be expecting around mid-January.

Every season has its own beauty. Enjoy the chilly air and don't forget to bundle up.

Plaid is a New England staple... :D ...the classic Vermont workaday has a plaid flannel under a plaid shirt-jacket.

Winter in Oregon is more liquid, sometimes enough to give you the weary dismals, but there's nothing like red maples just before the leaves drop and fog drifting up the glen on Oak Creek...keep up the good work Young Master Jake......

plaid is a crutch for people who can't handle Hawaiian shirts ...

Andy: A certain beautiful woman might stick a dagger into me if I were to wear even the coolest '50s vintage Hawaiian shirt. I thus have to avoid such succubi-shirts!

plaid's way better than a dagger!
