She played a little HS wlax, told me she had a wooden stick at home, was her father's. I told
her I'd bring mine in so she could touch it.
I thought I recognized his work. We have one in the house. Yes, he truly was a special guy.

Yup, his works of art are pretty easily recognizable (beyond the wood burned "logo", date, and signature), he was the master, made the best sticks. I've picked up and screwed around with some made by others but none of them feel like Alfie's, his were/are just the best. I know that's a horrible picture but if you look closely you can see the purple shooting string on there (blends in with the door), a dead give away that it's an Alfie.

Works of art by a master artist - I still have my 1970s-era Mohawk box stick that Alfie refurbished for me a few years back as a favor to a mutual friend - brought it back to life as only a divinely inspired true artist could. :D :D :D

RIP Alfie!

Plan 9 From Outer Space


For more than half a century this was considered the worse movie ever made. Brace yourselves: modern audiences now consider it a good movie:

You would have thought a -66. Times sure have changed.
It has been proven a hundred times that the surest way to the heart of any man, black or white, honest or dishonest, is through justice and fairness.
