Thanks for the welcome back, folks!
Sodomized by whores? That's not much of a hazing....
The finish on ol' #376 is a tragedy. Apparently the Beatlemania touring guys would paint it with rollers every few shows to keep it white. So there are quite a few layers of paint covering the usual scrapes and gouges from load-in/load-out. It'll take some doing. It's also footless, which is frustrating. But it does play pretty well, though it'll better when I give it the standard tuneup. Even in it's current state, it's far more encouraging than my old EMI. At least the keys are straight.

It's a Canadian tradition. Don't worry about it. Rick had to do it
and he's perfectly okay. Well. Moderately.
You say that your 'new' Tron has a 'weather-worn' finish? How bad? I
actually find that 'been around the block' look quite appealing.
Which brings as back to Rick.
