Before heading to Three Oaks, we
stopped at Sawyer Antique Mall just north of Harbert. This is one we hadn’t
checked in a while.
Very impressed by the sheer size and scope of its
offerings. In addition to several main levels, it has a bargain basement and an
attic devoted to books, records and movies.
We did pick up a couple of 45’s including this Johnny Burnett E.P and an unusual John Fred and His Playboy Band item. 'Judy In Disguise' was his big hit. 'We Played Games' b/w 'Lonely Are the Lonely' are a little more obscure.
I also spotted a reasonably priced
metal doll house which I decided I would purchase if the guitar case didn’t
work out.
I am writing this in a lodging
where I have no internet connection combined with a weak Sprint cell phone signal. I am getting a taste
of what solitary confinement would feel like. I won’t be able to update this
blog until I get decent internet. I did find a hotspot earlier, but my phone
ran out of juice and I was unable to transfer my pictures.
Going forward, I am going to plug
this loophole and make sure I always have internet, even if it means dragging
around a 200-mile cable…. unless I do actually find myself in true solitary
confinement, in which case I will at least inquire as to the possibility of
getting a wifi connection since it never hurts to ask.
