Ok... maybe the wallet is cooler.

You asked for it, man.

When I was in grad school, I won a contest that Ryko conducted online where the prize was a gtr lesson from Roger Miller.

You had to say in 20 wds or less why you deserved one. I guess Roger Miller liked what I said.

I couldn't afford to fly to Boston, and he wasn't coming out to AZ. So I asked him (via e-mail) to write me a lesson in letter form.

He asked me a lot of stuff about what I wanted to learn from him, what I was trying to do w/my playing, etc.

He ended up writing me a somewhere-in-the-neighborhood-of-10-pgs letter, and mailing it to me.

Of course, I still have this thing. Haven't re-read it in a while. It is so great.

He ended it with (something like) this: "Never forget, dude, that Jimi Hendrix is the baddest mo-fo who ever lived."

Salut, Roger Miller.

Someone I know (that knows Roger pretty well) says that he thinks way too highly of himself, so a 10 page letter doesn't surprise me.

Our apologies to all subscribers:

Unfortunately we've had continual delays stemming from the laser engravings. The plants keep giving us new delivery dates.

We are hoping the first one will ship from the plant this Friday March 31, and then to customers sometime next week.

Once again, we apologize for the delay - we're as frustrated as you are.

Best
Patrick
