    Found that LSR 305 dustcap...

    Har Hard remnants on the woofer, nothing on the cap.

    Found that LSR 305 dustcap...

    The cat had managed to get it under the sub. It came out unscathed. It appears to be some kind of plastic, and so does the place it goes. Oh speaker builders - any glue to seek or avoid?

    Guitars walk me through the minefield

    Looking at the pictures above reminds me - smaller bodied acoustics are more comfortable to play, especially seated, than big drednaughts and jumbos. Throwing your arm over a big guitar wears away at your shoulder after a few hours.

    Guitars walk me through the minefield

    State of movie theaters: mini rant.

    I guess I’m lucky, too. There’s a Silverspot cinema right up the road. Reserved seating you can purchase online, huge, cushy, seats, great picture and sound quality. They even have good food, but it’s pricey. I love going to the theater.

    Ive been listening to Michael Hedges the last couple of days. I’d forgotten how beautiful some of those pieces are.
