‘Here is another of my guitars. It is a Godin Multiac Steel Duet…an instrument that plays like a very good electric guitar, but has a very definite acoustic tonal flavor. This particular model was played and promoted by Doyle Dykes…a great guitarist who has toured with roadshows for many of the biggest acoustic manufacturers. If you have not heard of him, he is worth a listen…what he can do with a guitar in his hands! Roger

Here is a picture that captures my newest babies…
Easy to play and has a booming sound for such a little fella…just to be clear, I am referring to the Lanikai concert ukulele! ?

Interesting…never thought about that. I enjoyed a 1970 Mach1 for a few years…sold it when I went overseas when in the Marine Corps…Semper Fi to all you Marines in the MLT Club! Great poem….true, so true. Roger

Big News…two new members in my family…
A new Lanikai concert uke just like the one Lisa plays with the only difference being that mine is KOA all around. And…ready for this? A new puppy!
Here is tiny Cooper enjoying a puppy snooze on my tummy. Yup…he is a cutie!

Bought a great looking uke. Tomas, I took your advice and bought a Lanikai USB concert KOA all around…I hope it sounds as great as it looks. Here is a link that displays my purchase…

Looking forward to receiving it and cutting my chops on it! Lisa inspired!

Any advice when it comes to purchasing a uke? Roger

MaxHouse, Please do post more of your sweet collection when time permits. Great guitars! Roger

Too funny! I agree…anything with Twins and Music…got to be A-OK. I just say the owner of my favorite guitar shop the other day who believed he knew who the MLT were…Beatle covers, and I informed him of their rich 60’s tint in their original music. Go Twins! One more accessory for you with a MLT connection. Roger

MaxHouse….holy schnikee!!!!! You have some great guitars there! I understand your wanting to own such wonderful instruments. First, they are exceptional works of art! Second…it’s all Beatles stuff…models they played and what can be wrong with that? Third, they probably make you feel warm and fuzzy as you look at them/admire them. Fourth, they make you feel closer to the MLT experience…nothing wrong with that! Great guitars and remember…it only takes one finger to start playing guitar! Roger

Thanks Thomas and Jung…
I love the all KOA solid body…it is a beautiful little instrument. Chording is easy enough. I can see why instructors insist students use the correct finger/s when playing chords. It makes transitions much easier. Guitar is much more forgiving. I think that I am really going to enjoy this addition to my collection. I can hardly leave it alone. It is so easy go just hold and play!
Puppy is coming into his own. He is not afraid to run from me. He used to just sit and let me scoop him up. Now…it is more like the puppy is singing along with the Dave Clark Five…”catch us (me) if you can”!
I hope more of our members start posting pictures of their instruments. I just love seeing what others play and own. Heck, I would get excited if someone were to post that he or she has a new guitar coming to them…I could hardly wait to see it.
I think we should start a forum for short duration videos that show folks performing…no matter if they are just starting out, or if they are somewhat accomplished in their playing. Just thinking.

Thanks…Cooper is one small bundle of puppy energy! I forgot over the past ten years how demanding of one’s time a puppy can be…whew! I cannot wait for the arrival of my other “baby”. That KOA Lenikai is a really great looking instrument. I have to watch a few youtube vids on just how to approach playing one of these cool instruments. Just sitting back and chilling with some MLT vids this early evening. Right now…Africa is playing. Love Lisa’s bass playing and the Twin’s harmonies. I think that there is something going on behind the scenes with this performance. Mona almost seems to be chuckling at times. Again, thanks for the nice wishes.
Hey…The twins surprised me with a howdy and belated birthday wish in an email! Blew me away. Nice of them to do that. I joined the Club on my birthday so they did not have time to get anything out sooner. Again..classy gals.

Similar story with my mother. Died at 92 from dementia. This song and video presented me with those same thoughts. Great song with most folks relating to it on very personal levels…demonstrates great songwriting skills! Roger

Tomas, Looking to its arrival this Friday. Went back and forth about a concert or baritone. Each have advantages, but decided to go with the concert which forces me to learn new chords and chording techniques which I think will challenge me. Nothing wrong with learning something new and different! I will post a few pics over the weekend. Puppy is doing well…no longer the quiet, sleepy little puppy that arrived almost a week ago! He is all puppy now! Roger

THAT’S A BIG BINGO, JACKIE! Thanks for sharing. I would probably never sing…I know my limits!!!!! Karaoke…never! I would make a fool out of myself. Thanks for sharing. Roger

Jackie…as long as you enjoy music, instruments of all kinds, and have opinions on what you like when you hear or see it, then it is all good. You should never hesitate for a second to post your thoughts. Your ideas, opinions, and talents are all welcome in this forum area. Never think that what you have to share is not worthy of a good read…never ever think that way…please. I, for one, look forward to reading everyone’s posts in here…guitar player, or not. Roger
