I've been checking out a new guitar recently.. a Hagstrom HJ-600 ( Jazz model ).

Thinking of adding some mellow electric sounds to the show. I had a Hagstrom acoustic-electric 12-string "33" back in the early 70's and loved it. We'll see what develops.

Sharon & I are heading out to Canon City & Pueblo today to do some "catch-up" shopping. We don't go off mountain too often on the weekends.. but, need to get some supplies.

I've been working on a version of "If I Had a Hammer".... sounds pretty good so far; need to work on dinamics though... Also, Chris Issacs's " I Wonder" ( love that song )...

The photos are from PHANTOM CANYON... I was in Victor, CO last week and came down the back way through the canyon.. Pretty day & "The Phantom" was out !!!

God Bless All !

Hope all is well with everyone.
