Simplicity has taken hold to an extreme. A recliner, a book, and a lap warmer/study companion.
Winter is tolerable here.

That's your study? WHERE ARE ALL THE BOOKS?

Looks like a good set up
I didn't mention the home-harvested tea: blackberry, yarrow, and tea leaves from my backyard.
Well, simplicity takes hold. My study is the whole house. I was sitting in my living room. From the same vantage looking slightly to the right:

Cats are awesome - until they want to lay on top of the book you are reading.
I like your well rounded guitar selection. Which one gets used the most?

Pretty much equal. Lately I’m trying Bach transcriptions on the Yamaha. I play homemade folk songs on the (now) vintage Pearl. I’m just now learning the electric and the lap steel. Then it’s on to Franck and Buxtehude on the organ. There’s also fiddle and harpsichord.
It’s a good thing only the cats can hear me. One of them starts plucking harpsichord strings if I go too long.

I was going to ask you about that lap steel in that corner next to that little black star amp. Is that a Gretch lap steel? Also, that Pearl is pretty. Does it play as good as a Gibson J200 Jumbo body?
And is that an effects pedal on that bottom shelf? Are reformed Baptist allowed to have those?
Right on all of the above. The Pearl was made in Japan in the early 70s by a famous luthier of the time. I got it from my cousin in the 80s. Never played a Gibson, but the Pearl has nice resonance.I was going to ask you about that lap steel in that corner next to that little black star amp. Is that a Gretch lap steel?

And yes, that’s a little MultiStomp 50G that does more than I know what to do with.
I never asked if I was allowed. I could call it liberty. But if some can have cigars then I’ll take my effects pedal.

Looks like you’ve given Beeke’s Reformed Preaching some good use. I have it on the desk, yet to open. What are your thoughts on it?
2nd time through it. It is a good way to recalibrate my attitude. His focus is on Christ, learning him, living him, preaching him.
I missed that part reading on my phone. No, nothing so fancy. It's a cheap Rogue lap steel. I put different strings on it. It's fun enough.

Yeah, I don't do cigars either. However, we probably have about 10 or so single effect pedals and at least 2 multi effects. To complement the 5 electric guitars, 4 acoustics, 3 bass guitars, 1 mandolin, 2 violins, 1 melodica, 5 harmonicas, a piano, and various things to beat on with your hands.Right on all of the above.

Sounds like fun. I will have to check them out.
A fellow Montana man! I spy the book there.
Born and raised. My sister is director of the Montana Historical Society.
Walmart quit selling them. Now I’m stuck with Wrangler shirts.
Slowly. I confess to some chronic fatigue since my wife passed. I am slower at working. But I'm finishing the second wing and looking for an engine.
I still fly my 1948 Commonwealth. In spare time.... When other duties have been met.
I have a son who will start training in January to become a certified aircraft mechanic. He's totally crazy about old aircraft and our dinner conversations are dominated by discussions about engine components, wing configurations, and so forth.
