I was cleaning out a closet yesterday and ran across my old fanny pack. It is larger than the one's the ladies use. I bought it several years ago at one of those as seen on TV stores in Pigeon Forge for about $10.00. The buckle was broken on it, so I started to toss it into the trash. Then an idea hit me: THIS THING MIGHT BE A GREAT WAY TO ORGANIZE ALL MY STEEL GUITAR ACCESSORIES. The pack I have has 7 zippered compartments in various sizes. In one of the very small, corner compartments, I put my tuning wrench. In the other one, spare AA batteries for my tuner. In the largest compartment, I placed all my cords.The next largest compartment, I placed my spare sets of strings and the string winder. In the next compartment, I put in my Lil Izzy, and picks, that I keep in a medicine bottle. The next compartment is empty and the front compartment holds my bar, which is inside my leather picking pouch. I just grab the pack out of my pack a seat and I have everything right at my fingertips, neatly organized and protected. Oddly enough, my pack a seat could be thought of as a fanny pack a seat, which in turn, holds a fanny pack for my gear. |

Yes, my English friends, "fanny" got me in trouble once when I told our Scottish receptionist that hers was in the way. She did not initially believe me that the word in the States is a cutesy, polite word for arse, and not the orifice some 45 degrees SSW.
For another troublesome example, my friend married a Brit. When his parents came to visit, they asked if there were any plans for the evening. She said "Sure, we're going shagging, do you want to come along?" |

Very interesting auto-correct here on the forum, when I spelled esra in reverse, it was automatically replaced by "rear." I wonder what the UK SGF would substitute for fanny. |

I don't think this forum has auto correct. |
