Dave, it was my great honor to pass the suitcase on to you. It was my favorite all-time instrument. If you hadn't wanted it, it would still be sitting right where it was. Lots of folks have wanted it over the years, but you're the only one I wanted to have it.
I know you "do it proud".

Come back, and I might REALLY part with that cherry Bontempi!


Hope your "adopted kids" are doing well,


your friend,


"Redneck" Russ
