Hey, I was thinking about naming my band “Minor Third” and stumbled onto your site. Very cool. Great blog name.
You’ve got some good tunes up there. I’m a big Iron & Wine fan…
I also use MT 3.2 on my server, which was a lot of fun to setup… Just kidding.
I thought it was interesting that you had that fretboard background for your blog. I have something similar, but never saw anyone else do that.
p.s.
Last year I remodeled a large portion of an 1896 Queen Anne Victorian, so I know what you’re going through in that regard. I know Lowes like the back of my hand…
Take care and all the best to your family.
