Great story, but OMG does your keyboard have a busted period? You know, that dot at the end of the sentence. The lack of punctuation is killing me. :P

Look up Laine Thibodeaux on Facebook. I don't think he's on the forum but he's a great player and lives in Port Arthur. I believe he gives lessons.

Post pics of that Blanton custom d10 sometime?

From what I've seen of them, they are top notch steels. I'd love the opportunity to sit down at one sometime. Hang on to that one! :)

The Emmons is definitely pro and the Blanton is definitely neat.
