How does that work? Do they have really tiny doors or something? So he can get into a pickup truck, but not inside the court building?

I did a little more googling and found <a href="http://www.vintagerock.com/fakeguitars.aspx" rel="nofollow">this article</a> suggesting that the problem is a lot more widespread than one fat guy. Seems the Chinese are involved.. Is nothing sacred? I did a little more googling and found this article suggesting that the problem is a lot more widespread than one fat guy.

Even if his business has now closed, it might be prudent for the general public to know who he is, in hopes of helping someone avoid his knock-offs. Also, who'd to say he won't resurface with a similar ploy? You’d think the AP story would have included the defendant’s name.

]]> Comment on It’s Good To Have a Backup Plan by stedawa http://fretboardjournal.com/blog/2008/03/24/its-good-to-have-a-backup-plan/#comment-118804 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 01:22:59 +0000 http://fretboardjournal.com/blog/2008/03/24/its-good-to-have-a-backup-plan/#comment-118804 Great choice of song. I used to live in Winnipeg where the mighty Red River meets the Assiniboine, and heads northward to Hudson's Bay. This song, Red River Valley, is quite well-known. I remember talking to a Chinese woman about ten years ago. I told her I was Canadian. She immediately referred to this song, and started to sing it. Perhaps more Chinese students know this song (comparatively whatever which way) than Canadian students. Whatever happened to the "Humanisitic Tradition and Eventual World Peace Through the Study and Sharing of Folk Music" curriculum? Does anyone know of any organizations that are trying to head in that general direction? Great choice of song.

But you deserve every one of them! I do have one suggestion though. Many of your articles are written in the first person: "That was when I left home to play cowbell in the circus band." Or whatever. Fascinating little insights into the lives and interests of your authors and contributors that I really enjoy, but it's a tiny bit jarring to read an article written in the first person without knowing who the person is! So when the article is in the first person and the byline isn't up front I usually find myself paging to the end of the article to find it before I dive in. Take it for what it's worth -- and this is the only quibble I have with your entire product, it's that darn good! Really!! -- but I'd appreciate it if all bylines and photo credits were moved to the article head. Thanks again! Best periodical of all time guys! Okay, now yer just fishin’ for compliments..
