If that stuff gets used and enjoyed, no guilt necessary. I only have one Rivendell, but recently expanded the guitar collection to 3; one electric, one acoustic and an electric bass. That's not counting the kids' guitar, lap harp and other various instruments. Actually, the number of playable guitars in the house equals the number of usable Macs, come to think of it. Both are outnumbered by total bikes though. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
