Hi Joe. I feel your pain my brother! Among the many guitars that I let get away, the one that I sure miss now is my Les Paul Signature. Double
cut-away, semi-hollow, low,(iirc) impedance p/us, Varitone, In/Out phase
switch. Not so pretty maybe, gold-top, cream colored plastic p/u covers,
although the back was a georgeous dark tobacco brown. Recording
engineers *loved* that axe. I wasn't playing Jazz in '83 but I daydream
what that thing might've sounded like with heavy Thomastiks, Clarus,
etc...Got some photos of it somewhere. I think from a gig at CBGBs',
'81. Cheers, RDS

My brother and his primary caretaker knew people who found the whole thing - not just the disability and pain, but the being bounced from institutions to group home to home and back again depending on health and current government fashion in supporting the disabled, the battle for things to make life a little easier; a little more pleasant; the effort to get funding to have someone to stay overnight in case the ventilator shuts off and you suffocate, the sheer terror at the thought of what will happen when the elderly relatives filling the gaps in care die - so terrible that they chose suicide. ...
