I guess the cleaning up the land was the best thing but some of those old cars had lost all their fluids year ago. and crushing them was a sad thing for this old man to see.
If Paul was still out in Arridzona I am sure he could find you a good one and then you would have to rob a bank to buy it.

That's where to look all right. We've got a bit of semi desert country a couple three hours east of here. The Okanagan valley, if I get serious I'll look up there probably. They still come up once in a while but you gotta be ready to pounce. I saw a pretty nice early 50s International not long ago, original flat head 6 he'd redone the wiring recently to 12 volt and it ran pretty nice. Rockers and floors needed a bit of work but that wouldn't be a panic. I think it went for 7 grand, if I was ready I would probably spring for that for a decent runner that I could tinker on over time

My own danged brother forgot I wanted his old Studebaker pickup if he ever gave up on restoring it. I bugged him several times, and he always claimed he WOULD get to it. Then when his kids were pushing him to clean up the property... he sold it. One of many, MANY reasons I owe him a whupp'n <G>

Ouch. Yeah Studebaker pickups are dead cool. People used to kind of laugh at the idea but now they're top of the pile for collectors

David, I would love to have one of those fat fenderd 50 model Studebaker pic ups

I had never heard of Puddins Fab Shop before. Thanks for mentioning it Salty. Funny stuff. I like that a lot of his stuff is done with economy and practicality in mind. Boy is that guy Okie or what!?

Hi Garland, That Salty dude seems to know about a lot of different things.

[garland reese]

That Puddin guy is not too far away from my neck of the woods Bobby. He seems to doing pretty well with that whole youtube gig thing and his shenanigans. Lol

I came across a blues guy out of Tulsa recently. Seth Lee Jones. He is more builder than player maybe and not completely my kind of player but he is solidly good and builds some nice guitars for some high end dudes. He had some influence as a builder from a lady named Dixie Michell. Look her up. Interesting lady with quite a history of guitar building. I discovered her just about a year before she died. She lived in Tulsa. Old school as they come yet had a lot of very innovative ideas on how to make a guitar better.

Bob Wills is classic! Thanks David! They payed the Cains Ballroom in Tulsa pretty regular back in their heyday. The Cains is still a great venue in Tulsa. Not a lot of dance floor these days since fans just crowd the whole place with standing room only.
My dad used to sing this for me when I was a young boy around 8 years old or so. The song was old even then! I am only thirty. Give or take thirty years or so. Ok. Give thirty years or so.

That's funny. One of my dad's faves also. And he used to sing it at me. Which was ironic, as I was anything but chubby. But I certainly DID like to eat. Song's more apt now. I ain't saying I'm as chubby as Tulsy. I just ain't saying <G>
