Morgan Dreadlocke

Scratch, dent, wire brush, sand blarst? How may I be agin' an acoustic guitar without destroyin' its function? Metal parts can get soaked in pool acid to remove the crome. Headstock can get some curves sanded into it to remove the "signature" shape. GAOP straps? Any ideas out there?

(Scratches out a big narsty X on the dotted line). when ya be seein' a white whiskerd old goat wi a big walkin' stick, that be ald Morgan.

I understands a Phoenix crew will be raidin' on the 10th. Takin' advantage 'o the two fer one.

Me kitty just caughed up what looks ta be Norrington's wig. I'd be happy ta part with it fer just the $20 shippin' fee.

$152 an change plus $20 shipping. Cheaper to shop at yer local bait store

/\ 6 an 12 string guitars, 6 string banjo an 12 string banjolin. Got a set 'o pipes but I admits defeat in makin' any reasonable noise twice in a row. < Shoppin fer daughters birthday today. Shes simple. Shoppin fer me son is a pain in the arse. \/ Have ye performed any piraty music fer non piraty audiences? Open mic at the local coffehouse type stuff?

Fate n doom music be ta me likin' Heaven and Hell - Vangelis Journey of the Sorcerer - Eagles Ice run - Rick Wakeman The Three Fates- Emerson Lake and Palmer Pigeon on the Gate - Richard Searles Sea of Tranquility- Gordon Lightfoot Dogtown- Harry Chapin So Fare Ye Well - The Highwaymen Flora - Peter Paul and Mary Holly Holy- Neil Diamond And just about anything played on a pipe organ or bag pipes

/\Retirement? I'm farther away from retirin' now than I was 30 years ago <Snowin' in Picture Rocks too! 2200 feet altitude. \/ Will ya brave thin snow on the road ? Or chicken out?

An offhand guess on the draft would be 6-8". The overall size be similar to a design I been kickin' around fer a few weeks. No cabin front or rear lessin' ye be willin' ta have yer toes bent over whilst sleepin'. Mr Welsford be fairly active on the Duckworks Yahoo forum. He be descussin' mahagany an its origins right now. Ya might want ta make some inqueries over there.

I hopes not. 10 minutes in Tucson's high noon will leave yer bald pate blister'd. I never leaves home without a brain saver 'o some sorts.

Wonderin' why some things be designed WRONG yet get produced year after year. Contemplatin' a pile 'o tighty whities an doubtin' if anyone has ever (successfully) used the cattle trapfront door?

/\ The next time anyone sees ald Morgan wearin' a suit n tie they'd best be shuttin' the lid an shovelin' dirt. < Wonderin' who in the blazes sized this Simplicity pattern pirate shirt? The shoulder seams are down nears me elbows an the sleeves (without the cuffs an frills) are near me knees. Even Hulk Hogan would look like a scarecrow in this thing. The vest worked out fine with a few inches parsed offen the waist. \/ Does ye use patterns as they are or does ye trim an alter them?

Draggin' me baggage along runs the squarin' up to $240. Tis not in the books to swing it Capn' Porthos, Be there any musically inclined piracy goin' on in Phoenix/Chandler/Casa Grande? Tucson seems a might dry.

Buys a round fer the house. We be celebratin' the creativity of a Mr Mauer in Jersey fer makin' an SPS (small pirate ship). Bitty boats is all us inland rogues can ever hope ta build. http://www.duckworksmagazine.com/07/projec...irate/index.htm

Aye, J burke be the bloke, but they only lists Connections 2 and 3. I pyrated a few of the first series offen the TV. The reception around here makes them not a pleasure to watch. Skavenger, Iffins ye will swaggar over to wetcanvas.com ye might find a forum dedicated ta fabrics, dyein' an such.

/\ That be "Barry Yoner Day". It be a yearly custom from a favorite hobby BB. < Watchin the laundry freeze dry \/ Wierdest thing ya ever built with yer bare hands?

Nothin' be wrong with paper Lass. It be the medium where dreams an ideas metamorph inta the physical world. Me third mockup just gained paper sails. Wishin' I had the engineerin' knowledge ta determine center of effort an fore/aft placement o' the centerboard. It be risky business relayin' on TLAR fer design purposes. Fortunatly me location sets the performance standards fairly low. Iffin she can be rowed an eighth mile, is watertight, has room fer me fishin' pole, guitar, cd player, cooler an kids, I be a happy camper. There ain't much room on Silverbell an Kennedy lakes

/\ Only the annual accountin' wi me fathers brother Samuel. < Spent 2 hours lookin' thro fabrics I could never afford at Hancocks. Beautiful linen upolstry stuf at $31 a yard. \/ Period, practical, or film gaudy?

/\Crowd definatly. One on one fer one purpose only < Finally found some decent strings fer me guitar. Light gauges on a heavily built 12 string sounds scratchy an cheap. 012's thru 063's brings out the flavor \/Live or prerecorded music?

I sawr this series fer sale in vhs tape a few years ago. Twas not the series that be shown on PBS tv but featured the same British commentator. Would ya be knowin' if the originals be availiable anywhars? T'would be (imho) one of the 3 best documentaries ever filmed. In keepin with the topic- What patterens an textures be common fer the period? Fancy embrodieries, tassels an such? I doesn't want ta be too garrishly done up like the besilvered cowboys in the New Years day parade.

After visitin' th official web site I'll not be droppin' anchor at Estrella. The $200+ admission fee for ta see a 1/2 day cleanup be better spent at Escondito or Ojai. M.D. vet'rn 'o the Great Desert War an Estrellas 1, 11, & 111.

/\Makin' sure th' wife orders propane befores she starts abakin' next year. This mornins shower had me ahowlin' like th ghost 'o Jacob Marly. <Tonights supper bein spaghetti, I's out at the BBQ doin' the meats, onions and shrooms. Propane or not we be eatin' fine tonight \/ Watch ya cookin' tonight?

The strawboss says one weekend or t'other but nae ta both. Will either venue have an open stage fer performin' music? Or a local pub wheres we can all get together an jam? Glad ta see the War movin' from Avondale. The parks water was frightfully evil tastin'. 'Course that was a step up from th old site in Bouse wheres we had no water

Me gymnastics coach in high school were a dead ringer fer Jonny Winters Best all around film comedy performance (imho) belarngs ta that Danny Kaye feller in "The Court Jester". 'E sings, dances, plays the fool and the straight guy wi' equal grace.

Twas a man 'o many talents. Forget ye not the evil Lord Durant afroms Swashbuckler.
