Tech question? lubrication of strings at the bridge??? Good advice on the camera...tripod is my name-oh...
Keep the strings wiped clean. Lub? Just clean.

God is clearly outside of his creation. He is not his creation. He is the painter not the canvas and the paints.

so, the universe is in a 'bag' and god has a 'home' elsewhere...
St. Elsewhere's house perhaps?

Winter Solstice and Saturnalia are the roots of "christmas".


For Christians, the important thing was to celebrate Easter

I have folks I can ask for advice on your behalf. My photographer has been playing for decades and has been in more than a couple of bands. H also plays bass and keyboards and produces his own stuff. I'm also friends with finnish guitar god Jartse Tuominen, but last I heard he was in Europe, and may take a while to reach.

The fertility rights of spring that honor the goddess Ishtar? Because, after all, every patriarchal faith extant is a corruption of an older matriarchal faith.

eggzactly!!!!!!!!


The History of xams said that early christians celebrated easter not xmas
but Charlemange or some such guy had a woman who celebrated Saturnalia and so, made a blend.

It's all still sky holidays.
Solstice, Ground Hog day is a cross-quarter day,
Equinox, May Day is a cross-quarterday,
Solstice in summer ( for which we make many reasons to barbeque:
mother's day, memorial day, father's day, vacations...
There is a cross-quarter day in August but it got absorbed into vacations and Labor Day.
Autumnal Equinox and then Halloween is another croos-quarter day.
Sky is the leader here

They didn't celebrate that, either. They had NO HOLIDAYS. Easter is a bastardization of the Winter Solstice observance anyways.
