Trigger

Just a small thing... where is the trigger in this picture? I can't see it?

Sorry Anna - I was being a little obtuse there ( not unusual for me !)

Trigger is the name of the guitar Willie Nelson has played for the last 52 years - because of it's provenance it's become quite famous, and has even been hidden to prevent it being
seized by the IRS.



Since 1969, Willie Nelson has played one guitar, and one guitar only - a Martin N-20 (4-20?) he named Trigger after Roy Rogers' horse. "I figured," Nelson told Dallas Monthly in 2012, "this is my horse."

The acoustic model is not only famous for the longevity of it and its owner (Nelson turned 86 on April 29), but for the second gaping hole created over the years by the sheer force of Nelson's playing. It also has been autographed by many friends; some are more visible than others.

The article explains how the guitar has been maintained for the last 45 years - thanks, in large part, to Austin guitar repairman Mark Erlewine, who reconditions Trigger twice a year. About the hole, he notes, "I always thought it enhanced the sound."

I can't recall if I posted this. Check out the first song. Love it. Mesmerizing. The others are pretty good too.

Psst. Verbs. Left some limoncello for you in the fridge by the men's washroom. Sadly, that fridge doubles as sample storage for the clinic next door. Sorry bud. I forgot to cross out the label on the plastic sample cup for the limoncello.

Take your chances?

Yes, lovely music. I can imagine dancing naked around Stonehenge on the summer solstice. Too much information I guess. Regards, Verity

I was getting all excited there. In the end it was Harley worth it. Regards, Verity

Noooo. Your punny went there. You made a Yama-HA.

Cold coffee brew, please. The boy is at golf camp. The dogs and I will be walking the girl to a friend’s home for a play date. The grass needs cutting’ but the sun is shining. Sounds like a perfect time for a two-wheeled cruise on the open black top to nowhere.

Have a groovy hump day!

I thought your pun was wheelie good, a Triumph.

How y'all are? Has Yuri been given the newbie tour of Storie(S)pace and, of course, that oasis of old world culture and charm DBA, Inspirations? If not, then Trevor can count himself one lucky carbon based lifeform.

Welcome to Inspirations, Yuri. Feel free to wander around aimlessly and make yourself at home. Last time the subject came up most Storie(S)pacers claimed to have had their shots and to be housebroken. ;)

In the strange but true category, I actually managed to vote and comment on several micros after reading and enjoying one and all. What's more, I also manage to slip in a little work on my contest entry. And speaking of contest entries, I'd savored Verity's a little while ago and now, with my doing the deed with Survivors, I can claim to have read 100% of the contest entries. I'm here to tell ya, all that dang near wore me out. ;)

Coffee's cooked and the te kettle is kettling away. Me, I'm gonna fill my mug with that dark roast brew, grab a handful of Sarah's goodies, so to speak, and hunker down at the corner table to check on ball scores and other important happenings.

Later, Inspirators.

Buddy, scoring systems have been debated for many years, here and there. It is generally viewed as being flawed and imperfect. It must be noted that there is NO perfect system. There are many reasons as to why, and these can be discussed in more detail if desired. Bottom line: Nothing is gained by scoring anyone’s story or poem less than a fiver. But one risks unnecessarily pissing people off by scoring anything less. It’s just not worth it.

Know what? I'll happily take a 3 or 4 IF there's a comment explaining what is wrong. A current story elsewhere has picked up some 3s and 4s but there's no comments really saying anything critical so I don't know why, and that's what pisses me off. But, as I have already argued elsewhere, most people treat the current system as a "Reaction" system rather than a scoring system so maybe that's where it should go. You could have Like, Love, HaHa (for funny stories), Sad (for tragic or otherwise sad stories), Wow (for really, really good stories or stories that cause amazement and wonder). Maybe others. Those just come to mind based on the reactions we use for posts on Wondercafe2.

If you want to relay your thoughts - negative or constructive - do so in a PM. Most writers, as fickle as most are, prefer that. Egos are a delicate thing.

Oh, yeah. Rump in particular has left me some good PMs on my stories over the years. Less so recently, which maybe means I am improving or just that he's given up on me.

I’m new to writing but still I’m going to give my 10c if I may. I don’t understand how the whole scoring thing works. All I do know is that if someone is prepared to sit down a write a story, for free and I read it, I will score it a five. Even if I don’t like the story, I will give it a five. I’m not sure about anyone else but writing doesn’t come easy to me. I do write on another site that as a lady I won’t mention, cough. Over there I receive some really good scores and comments. The readership is much higher over there so that’s not too hard. The readership on here is quite low at the moment. Anyone who writes a story for here is not chasing the high scores; they are doing it for the love of writing. Therefore I will always give them a five. So, a big thank you to all the very nice people who give up their time to write on Stories Space. Just keep writing and enjoying it. I think you are all jolly good.
