First sunny weekend in April here in Seattle. I love my fleamarket. Bought two guitars Saturday. The first cost $7. It's a Japanese plywood LP. But it was all tricked out. I have a bridge and I'll find a nut. It's flat black. The second one was a real deal. It's a vintage, maybe '30's, Hofner parlour guitar. $100. But you ought to see the back!!! It's book-matched flame maple. Just like a violin. A little fix here and it will be just great. Today, I got a great hand mic ( any harp players out there?) for $2. And it works!!!! A NOS GE 5U4GB tube in the box. 50 cents. And a 1960's Shure M7D phono cartridge NIB. $1.00. So my weekend cost me about $112. That's a concert ticket but a lot more fun. Just had to gloat.
Oh, and a lava lamp. $5.
