good morning and Hummingbird

Good morning friends and visitors.

Early morning movie is Brainstorm (1983) with Christopher Walken and Natalie Wood (her last movie). The movie explores the idea that memories can be recorded and played back. Filmed in North Carolina this is one of my favorite movies.

The Gibson Hummingbird. Been playing it everyday. Lovely Gibson neck, a bit more narrow than the J-200, but just the way I like them. Wide enough for finger style but narrow enough for strumming. Loud and deep, but unlike the J-200, the upper register is more pronounced. More even across the range than any of my guitars, and with the characteristic dip for the vocals. I A/B'ed against the Santa Cruz yesterday. Similar but different, brighter. Love the coloring (burst) and of course, the pick guard.

Off to have breakfast at Toast, then a CT at Presby Huntersville. I don't see how they'll find anything, but off we go to spend more money on staying alive.

Feeling better everyday but the fatigue is awful. So miss being active and social. Skye had another seizure yesterday and seems to come through ok. Yea Skye.
