    Wow, looking good Gene- and that's the good stuff.
    What kind of hi-fi power are you planning???

    Pretty simple actually, Don. A normal am/fm, cd, usb w/a couple of Alpine speakers in the kick panels and an old bazooka style sub residing on the floor behind the passenger with a small amp for it on the back bulkhead. I usually have "old country" or gospel on a flash-drive entertaining me. For longer drives I usually have a book (thrillers) in the cd drive. The cab is so small, it sounds great to me (my hearing is pretty abysmal).

    Sounds like a pretty nice setup Gene. I'll bet the dynamat makes a nice difference with that.
    I looked up "old country" and I got the list attached...yea I can dig it!
    I did the same with gospel songs but I didn't recognize many of the songs!

    I grew up with my dad being in country bands and a few of those songs I know pretty well and can even play a couple of them myself. I inherited his song book, all hand-written songs going back into the 60's I'm sure, and some times I pick up my guitar and remember him.

    OK, so I play country music too. Just that nobody can figure out what country it's from.

    Yup. That list is spot-on for the "old country" stuff I like. Gotta get Roger to "pick" for me sometime.

    Don't expect to be too impressed. Way better mechanic than I am guitar player. I do OK in the rhythm section. Pick'n hasn't ever been my forte.

    Yea...I used to do a little picking too.
    (Really...I'm a trumpet player believe it or not...paid for my college with that.)
    But I have a guitar and used to play some of the classic rock stuff as well as most John Denver...and I took a classic guitar class in college too. (I had to get my grades up somehow...)
    It would be pretty pitiful today though.
    Sounds like our jam session would be pretty weak, we better stick to falcons.
