God doesn't need to know what time it is.

I usually dont use watch...

😁😊

Dont deduce from this fact that i am godlike but perhaps almost godlike because i am retired... 😎

I never collected books or music albums only purchase a great amount of the two but because i read them or listened to them...

Collecting or hoarding is a strange act for me, especially watch and matchboxes ...

But i must reveal to be fair and then i contradict myself here that i am in love with beautiful hourglass and if i was rich i may have collected many for their beauty also...

Human nature is complex ...

i just discovered that i could have been a collector after all....

i am a strange animal also after all....

The difference between an hourglass and a watch is striking, you wear a watch because you dont want to WATCH time itself...You wanted to be able to be DISTRACTED out of time or to worked inside a span of time and dont want to pay attention to objective time when wearing a watch...Save if you are very annoyed by your job and dream to be out each passing minutes...

But an hourglass is completely different, you must WATCH it with a relaxed mind , and pay attention and meditate about the flowing instants or grains of sand and time...

An hourglass is a meditation tool...

A watch is a distraction for working fools... 😁😊

And solar watch is another meditation tool like the hourglass and also like a watch a way to forgot time by marking it...

Solar watch are more difficult to collect at the same place though ! 😁😊

And all the beauty of the solar watch design is to be an instrument alone in a specific garden under a specific sky...

The object i will pay for though to be constructed for my collection of unique object would have been an old mechanical chinese sismograh with 8 dragons heads which liberate a ball and determine the direction of the epicenter......

"The Deluxe Reverb (blackface, of course ;-), my favorite amp. "   

bddp24-Yes, I don't have the "real deal" but  a1994 2nd year reissue(circuit board but ALL tube) Not a Fullerton Ca. "original. 22 watts of power able to keep up with most any heavy handed drummer and overly loud bass player.

I think it's safe to say -EVERYONE who has ever  listened to R&R, Country, Pop, Jazz and everything in between  particularly 60-80's recordings, has heard a Fender DR! 

THE MOST used studio amp there ever was? All the greats likely plugged into one at some point.

mahgister-

I think there is some truth to that! I look forward to not being concerned with "being on time."  

@tablejockey: In the 90's I had a '66 Deluxe Reverb, but the reissues are great too. In December of 2007 I played a 3-night gig with a singer (L.A.-based Jonny Kaplan) who is a really good rhythm guitarist, and his Les Paul Jr. into a new DR sounded fantastic. For that gig I played one of my 1950's WFL black diamond pearl kits with a 24" kick.
