Hey, i've noticed that few members suddenly stopped posting... Dr.Tom is one of them, i wonder what happened? did he sell all of his Ovation/Adamas guitars?

Lots of regular posters disappear temporarily from time to time. Vacations, work, other interests that take priority for a bit....

Seems like Dr. Tom has posted on the Takamine site in recent weeks but maybe I am wrong.

I am pretty sure that he did not sell off his guitars (or some signs of it would have been here)!

Yes, but our sadism perfectly coordinates with his masochism.

I can see why a doctor, and anyone who prefers the cure to the disease, would wander away.......

Members come and go. Sometimes they go for awhile and come back. Sometimes they disappear for good. Sometimes the ones you wish would go never do.

It's like I tell my wife, sustained performance takes effort.

Some of us just stay to harass Al about the next factory tour.

EDIT: It's kind of like when you were a kid and tried to see how long it took till something caught fire or blew up.

Kinda like some drugs- doesn't change what you have, only how you experience it.
And, to Hell with "Recovery". Possibly overrated.
All apologies to "Friends of Bill", of course!

From what your wife tells me, "sustained performance" is not something at which you make any effort.

Sadly Bailey hasn't been around for a while. He sounded in good shape when he logged back in last time.
