Hi Lieve, A quick check on google showed that the auction house estimate for these 2 guitars is not much different from street or internet prices and maybe even higher. I recommend your sons try any instrument first as there are variations in weight, feel, resonance and playability from one to the other of the same model. Hope this helps Laurent ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2009 08:27:12 -0400 From: Marianne Rizzo Subject: woodstock, the definitive song patti wrote: >We are stardust.

Thanks very much, Laurent! This is what my (very ignorant) google research was suggesting too, even though it is very different from the auction house's normal practice. So I am going to leave it, I might as well wait until my sons find a guitar of their own choosing, rather than me cooking up this half baked surprise for them! Good to hear from you!

It was on the radio, a late sunny Sunday morning (much like here today), not long after I had moved into my first apartment. I knew who Joni was, and I had heard (and always found mediocre) the CSNY version, but nothing had prepared me for that voice with the stark keyboard backing. Within a couple years (as money would allow) I had every album Joni had recorded.

On 9-September they'll > release "Beatles For Sale". The site > http://thebeatles.com/core/home/ > implies that there's a separate documentary about the making of each > album to be released. True-at least the first run of CDs will have the docs. If you buy the set, there is a separate DVD with all of them. The annoying thing to me is that they are not releasing a high res (ie blu-ray) edition of the albums. 'Cause you know they are already remastered to a higher bitrate than 44.1-we buy the CDs first, then they come around a year later with the blu-ray.

For those who might have missed it on VH1, it's being shown this coming week on the History Channel as well (check your TV listings for details on your service).

For starters: Okay, Dickinson is talking about a heaven she sees or feels that's filled with feathers and framed along the seams with pretty lace from Mechlin. She seems to be coming from a Netherlands perspective concerning the birds and moths. I could be completely off. But do study Mechelin and the lace it's known for, not Melchin. Start with that and then we can analyze it more if you want. I like the thought of heaven being all feathery and finding myself with remnants of birds and moths, more comfy than human remnants. I like that ruby reference, like Joni's reference, "And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear," which I heard she took/stole from Willy The Shake. I don't know for sure right now. Right now I should start reading a book I've had here on my night stand since Christmas called, 'A Room of One's Own,' by Virginia Woolf, where she imagines she is Shakespeare's sister, equal in talent and genius but whose own legacy, being a woman, is totally different and thus her genius goes unexpressed. So very sad. Go for it, Rian!!! Lovingly, Jeannie - --- On Sat, 8/15/09, Rian Afriadi wrote: From: Rian Afriadi Subject: NJC.
