I've got the 11 year old Scouts. They really don't even talk about young women yet. It's all about their games, their sports, and what's for lunch???That's what Explorer Scouts is for (co-ed).

Charlie, you kill me. That Borso is da bomb! And you wear it with the panache of a 40s film noir detective.

Back in the early 70s this was not an option. Maybe things would have been different. Still would have got in the same amount of trouble!That's what Explorer Scouts is for (co-ed).
I was a Life Scout at 13... never got my Eagle badge even though all I needed was a community project and 4 or 5 merit badges. Jazz gigs, girls, girls at jazz gigs, new friends in high school, and my whole life changed.
Then one of the prettiest girls in the world walked in the room and opened up an alto sax case. I knew then that life, as I knew it, was over.

Super color on that one, Ant. And I agree, the OPS CC I found recently is probably my lightest, thinnest felt.

Now that I'm older, those subjects have come back to the forefront. [emoji44]

What does the OPS stand for?
I Know, I know. They just don't admit it.

Sage modern Strat today. I have named this one the "Moon Strat" from it's origin. I still keep the wonderful diamond crease he sent it to me with.
