Coin CARD, that is! I just had these designed and received them while I was in Pittsburgh. Todd even surprised me by taking pictures of it.

What do you think?

    I got one at the show, quite eye-catching! And yes, the one I got from Fred was off-center too! image

    Tell you what what I'm gonna do.... all you have to do to get one of these uniquely designed limited edition specimens is to stop by my table at a show (I'll be in Portland this weekend, then Baltimore next month) and SING the entire first verse to "Red Red Wine"! imageimageimage

    Considering how many of us could not carry a tune in a bucket, that might prove somewhat painful to your ears. You might just offer two coins to stop singing!!

    Do I have to sing it with a Jamaican accent? Do you mind if I bring my harmonica player (son) to back me up?

    Seeing that it's written by Neil Diamond, I wouldn't think that would be necessary.

    I love listening to the harmonica, but if you want to do the UB40 version, steel drums might be in order!

    And for those of you who can't carry a tune, instead of singing about wine, you can always bring some to share at my table! image

    Btw, the coin is about the size of a quarter but thicker.

    I was thrown for just a second (must be the pharmacist in me) when I started reading the reverse and it began with 'specializing in FE' - I wondered why would somebody specialize in iron?image

    Then I continued reading........very nicely done!

    BTW, I met Todd (blu62vette) at the forum dinner on Friday evening and he said that you had planned on attending but had to leave a bit early - it would have been nice to meet you. I'm sure kranky would have led us all in a sparkling rendition of 'Red Red Wine' and we all could have come away with a nice shiny memento....advertising you across the nation! It was a nice evening, but quite a bit more cramped & louder than the dinner we had in 2004. Back in '04 we could actually get up and introduce ourselves to everybody else there, and have smaller group conversations at empty tables - this year, you could hardly hear the person sitting across from you.

    I do have Todd's website bookmarked, and may be taking advantage of his services in the future.

    The Jamaican accent is for the Reggae version...which does exist...and I like better than the original. image

    by UB40 - which I also like better than Neil Diamond's version.

    Chuck, it never occurred to me that FE on my coin might be mistaken for the iron symbol! As can be seen, I wasn't able to fit all the words I wanted to use spelled out, so I had to abbreviate some of them. And I'm sorry I missed you at the forum dinner - perhaps we'll meet sometime at another show!



    << <i>I can't sing- i only have talent with the guitar and bass... but i will take you up on your offer this weekend at the portland show! I want a nice one with no spots!! >>


    Myqqy, are you going to take me up on my offer to SING, or BRING some Red Red Wine this weekend??

    I would not give them away, people should have to buy something. These probably cost a couple of bucks a piece to make, and when you think about it, adds some overhead which ultimately transfers to the customer who buys. --------BigE
