Altgrendel,

Great works mandates the attribute of patience.
Great patiences, attributes a measure of Love.

Waiting for things to materialize, are the divine attribute of believing in Patience and Love.

All things of sacrifice, yield a greater reward.

Hi Greg,

This famous painting, is one of my favorites.

The Toma_Hawk looks so real in this art. It was a fun addition. I am such a fool "Jester" for this kind of stuff.

Time marches on...

Hal,
You do realize that you're completely nuts, right?!
But don't worry, we won't alert the authorities...Tony.

This is just an expression of art. Music is universal, and it touches the heart in colors and art in many ways we identify.

Music can take you to so many worlds of imagination.

I been called worse, and there are people here who would agree. I am not the kind of guy holds in a good laugh, or a good fart. It's good to relieve the pressure. :-)

Hal, the pirates picture looks so authentic!

I hope you can play as good as you can work with Photoshop! :-)

Awesome work!

Greg,

I believe beautiful art on canvas is for the people who can't hear.

I believe beautiful music in the air, is for people who are visually blind.

Artist must be aware of both conditions, and inspire our hearts.

It's December now. Where in the heck did November go?

Wow, time is truly an illusion. It was just yesterday, my 4 year old gave me her works of art from school. You know... the Paper Fruit Bowl, Paper Turkey, and The Native American Paper headband with the one paper feather...

I believe Thanksgiving is the Greatest American Holiday of all time.

That's very good.

Besides playing my guitars, drawing, and looking at art, is the best stress reliever for me. Another one of my hobbies includes making computer automated objects.

I am presently using very high-end CGI program called Blender for 2-D and 3-D Animation. Fun
stuff.

Practice make perfect.

I made some edits...

I gave the bass a more oily look. I was thinking of a delicious red apple.

Greg,

I had a good long talk with Mica yesterday. According to our discussion, the Toma_Hawk is sprayed, dried, buffed, and repeated daily, and the activities mentioned are continuous on for about one more week. After a very extreme inspection, if the bass is pristine, "it gets it's metals..."

Mica said everything is looking good, it now just a matter of weeks not months. Knock on wood!

So, I understand you guys are planning an Alembic get-together in Brazil... If this is true, count me in! If GOD is my witness, me and the Toma_Hawk will be joining in on the festivities!

Prior to these kind of travels, once the Toma_Hawk is here with me, it's going to get crazy here in the West-Coast, for this bad boy will be cranked full blast with tons of studio recording work ahead.

Tony...

Yes, I am completely nuts. Look at all the pages of this FTC. You're just now discovering this... Where on earth had you been my friend???

Just wait until this bass is in my hands, there will be a dedicated website built for tracking recordings, travels, and people supporting this fascinating design and sound of the Toma_Hawk.

When you like something insanely, or "nuts" about it... that an attribute of LOVE!

Some people may have to almost lose their lives, before they'd finally "wake-up" to appreciate just how wonderful it is, to simply drink water from a old beaten-up tin cup.

...the best dam water in the world!
Tell the world, what is beautiful, for it is a sin to keep from others which you know is good.

Think on this...
