@joebeone Good. Sunnyside deserves it.
Weirdly, I have hobbies, and one of them is music. This is short and simple, but it is my first original composition and I played it. Also did the recording, mixing, and mastering. Spotify and Apple now, but should land on other services soon.

If there's wrongdoing, there are avenues for them to come forward and prove it.

@mbernhard Music Man did some BFR basses in redwood back in like 2008 or so, and I always thought they were gorgeous, so I thought I’d go that way as well.
@mbernhard It’s actually redwood.
