Dusting it off...

It's been two months, but I have come across two relevant items recently:
  • Adam "Bubba" Brister is now engaged!  He and fiancee Faith are due to marry perhaps in March 2012.  Follow the latest developments on his Facebook and Twitter pages.
  • B.W. loves Gibson guitars, so this recent story is disturbing to him.  Recently, agents with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conducted a search of Gibson's manufacturing plant in Memphis, TN.  Allegedly, some of the wood used to make the guitars were harvested from endangered species of plants grown in India.  The plant was closed and public tours scheduled for Aug. 24 were canceled.  Two years ago, a similar search was conducted in its Nashville facility for wood allegedly poached from Madagascar.  I will try to update the results of the ongoing investigation.
