it wasn't the best of xmases because i was kind of counting on this, and i waited till the last minute to start up with the wheedling and bugging, but it was worth it. it is an RKS Jr., a prototype (not even a serial number).  it's a 3/4 size body with Duncan pickups and a 5 way switch. it's an extremely unusual and atypical RKS; out of the fewer than 2,000 that the company made during its life, there was only one of these. and now, it belongs to kurtwood.

 

 

so i went & cracked open the Thing i Could Not Face, the loss(es).  and resurrected the least dead amongst them, the "poems" if you'd call them that. olizard.com is where they live on (if not in infamy, then at least in space).  don't go there, it'll only hurt your eyes.  but it is a start.  next in line for life, the lyrics site & maybe the gallery thingy.  the blog, ah, the blog, well, unfortunately the database is approximately ten times the size allowed in PHPMyAdmin uploads, so i've gotta hack it to pieces in order to put it back together. 

 

baby steps, baby.
