At 3:40am on November 25, 2017, Uncle John said…: Hi Mike, Thanks for the friending. I was just looking through your photos. A lot of nice and somewhat diverse builds and you have been at it for a while. You also look like a younger version of one of my sons, although right now he has the ZZ top beard thing going.

Nice builds and I sure like that last neck. What music do you play?

At 5:44pm on February 18, 2011, Nathan King said…: Hey Mike! Thanks for the good words on my recent uke... in regards to your question, I got those little red grommets at Michael's. They come in a pack of 100 (if I recall), and 6 different colors, too!
