Been 50 years already, just seemed like a short time ago. Everyday this month there will be a free download (MP3) of a song performed by the Grateful Dead. Click on the link below to access your free music.

My Grand is almost done.... I cut it down to a LP, gave it the look I wanted, and it's going back to Rob today today to have all its innards replaced. This used to have a black finish.

What did you use as a finish? Almost looks like a partially sanded red one from the pic. Very unique!

I stripped the black paint off with paint stripper, added texture to it by stippling it on all 4 sides with an engraver, gave it a light coat of hammered copper Krylon primer/paint, then sanded it to my liking. I love the antique-ish look! I will be topping it off with a brass button cover, then maybe a coat of clear over the whole thing. The brass/silver colored contrast looks much better than the picture shows
