	TheKrowe says: 12/30/2012 11:23:05 AM Thanks, Liz and Rob. Today I'm playing an all metal "Weissie"; a National Hollowneck Tricone. I've been playing a Jim Adams square neck acoustic in open D for a while now. My National arrived tuned to G so I have taken the plunge and decided to learn it. Way out of my comfort zone... If I can swing the finances, I've got my eye on a Rayco Style 4 that Bill Warmoth took on consignment at Artisan Guitars in Nashville. It's six years old and in perfect condition. The owner is asking $3500. A new one is $4200, so it looks like a pretty good deal. Betty Wheeler just posted a video announcing Mike's passing on RESO-GUIT, so I'm going to watch that now. Peace be with you!
	Liz Williams says: 12/30/2012 1:05:32 PM I've wondered about that hollowneck National since the day I read about them. Love that you call it a metal-body Weiss. Thanks for posting here about Mike's passing. I never met Mike, but I've watched so many videos of him. Heaven has another angel and earth won't be the same without him.

Sorry for the slip-up. I'm going back to my cave now. Be back out in a few days, with more normal attention. Happy New Year, everybody.
