Oh man! I'm blind (hence the name) AND stupid (nothing to do with the name though).
Go on Andrew, move along. Thanks and sorry.

Now if you check the video carefully it's plain to see that he's using a very rare 1943 silver spoon custom made by the famous spoon luthier, Easterbunny. A modern spoon just won't give you the quality of tone that you get from that spoon. Even the 1945 version - when they introduced mass production - isn't as good. Just check out the reviews on Harmony.

Easterbunny now make a Custom Shop version by special order and there's also a cheaper version made by their sister company Toothfairy. Some claim you can't tell the two apart but trust me - you can. Also don't confuse this spoon with the Japanese ShredSpoon which has a much thinner handle that lets you shovel food into your mouth at lightning speed.

I have it on very good authority that a 1943 unplayed spoon still in it's original box was sold at auction for 400,000USD recently to someone called Mr. U Geller.

So get to know your spoons guys wink.gif .

Cheers,
Tony

Mmm-kay tony.
I have to check your stance on "playing under the influence" in a rescent thread.
Brilliant and to the point though biggrin.gif
And you remembered Mr Geller!

/edit: I forgot a closing """, they are important.

Actually, when I registered on this site I was first aiming at "oneyedwillie" because I'm not blind really and maybe that would offend someone. I did'nt know you guys then. Now I know it would tongue.gif
As it turned out blindwillie better me suits, and your suggestion I deserve. More and more it is.

/second edit: I didn't think that me not being blind would offend someone. I meant that ... *sigh* you know what I mean. See, it gets worse by the minute.
