Title: In that last group for a while
Post by: Jake St. John on July 18, 2014, 09:31:02 AM

Here is a call for a Mr. Brown in Hendersonville, TN.  The wood for this call is from Mr. Brown also.  Steve Brown.   Got the Walnut from Steve in Nashville last year and the fine Ribbon or Tiger Mahogany from the recent shipment from the Mahogany Mann.  Great sound and super fine looks.

A lot have asked about my eyes, and I thank all for the calls and prayers.  I have lost about 50% vision in my left eye and some in my right from the recent glacoma.  They are trying to arrest this with medication and get the pressure down to prevent further damage.  My son said, "Just don't let the turkeys know about it"  He and Steve said they would be glad to set up on my left side should the word get out to the turkey's.  The good thing is that I can still work with a full facial respirator and do plan on putting that plan in to play as soon as the discomfort gets better.

Get that full face respirator.  Don't take any more chances with your eyes.
