Hmm. I read it.

I read it and spit ginger snap particles all over my Inter-Rossiter.


Anyone heard Steven Tyler play harmonica?

Yup. Underwhealmed I was.


I didn't know who he was, though I know of Aerosmith. What gives here?

Here's the deal. Hohner is obviously putting a lot more credence into name recognition than expertise.


They are making a limited number, so it's not intended as a sales boost (and if it was,
why 'Steven Tyler'?)

Yeah, what you said lol


I guess it's just some sort of vanity/sweetherat
deal that's been set up by the business guy in the video. I remember
when Johnny Shines came out to Australia in the late seventies he had a
'Trini Lopez' model Gibson.

Also a little 'Reachey'. You would think a guitar would be named after someone who was at the Mount Chimborazo of guitar players.


Now maybe Trini was a great guitar playet,

Huh uh


I don't know; but he was a very big star, right around the world,

Which I never understood.


and I suspect a lot bigger than S. Tyler. I dunno.....the world seems to get
sillier by the moment. Wyh not a Bob Dylan model, or a Bruce Springsteen
model, or a.....an Alanis Morisette model.......joking! just joking!

It gets ridiculoser and ridiculoser. Now, don't get me wrong. If someone were to name even a bag of 'Kitty Litter' after ME, I would be thrilled to death, but this whole deal is a fiasco.
