We all need a bit of humor to make it through these tough times. I'll do my best to relay the best humor that I come across here.

1+ John - my 'musician' wife is currently taking ukulele lessons and usually goes to the teacher's house, but not today - instead they did their lesson over FaceTime which worked out fine. Recently, she was 'upgraded' from her 'starter instrument' to the Martin shown below - beautiful koa wood and sound - for myself, I'm often on headphones, depending on the music, with this home isolation!

Very nice Dave.
It reminds of the years I spent in Hawaii working for the US Govt. A fellow employee and friend of mine was a wood worker like yourself. His specialty was making coffee tables using Koa wood and resin.

That's a lovely instrument Dave. And the 'ukulele is such a fun instrument, or can be!
I good friend of mine used to make violins and he made a couple of cellos too. He bought the back of a cello to my place one day to show me. Believe me I am a total wood butcher compared with him. He balanced the back on one hand and tapped the wood with the other and it rang like a soft bell. It had such a beautiful tone. He made all of his own tools as the bought ones just weren't quite right. A true craftsman indeed.
I have a guitar and would love to learn to play it, but time and arthritis are slowing me down, but I will get there, I hope. I love the acoustic guitar.

Thanks Charlie & John for your great responses - I love wooden instruments (actually started a post in the 'Good-Music-Guide' (GMG) website years ago about my love for these instruments made of wood etc.) - she is enjoying the new Uke and her teacher loves the sound (he is a Masters graduate from the NC School of the Arts in 'guitar/string instruments') - love the stories - if anyone wants a link to my GMG thread, then let me know - Dave

Hey John....
Better do some wise rationing with all those "magic bottles". World War III may last longer than your supply!

Here the state of California has allowed legal marijuana shops to remain open because some people are allowed to use it for medicinal purposes. I wonder if he could convince local officials that the pub needs to remain open for "medicinal" purposes.
