[TPIN] Strings are easy

[Glenn Bengry]

Also a bummer, Mike, is that we have a whole generation or two that doesn't know what acoustic sound sounds like,  Nor do they know what a tube amplifier sounds like as opposed to solid state.  The latest generation thinks that its ok to copy recordings and give them to their friends and don't know what a record store is.
