Strange story from the Nashville Post…
Federal agents from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and local police today seized wood, guitars, computers and boxes of files from Gibson Guitar’s Massman Road manufacturing facility.
Sources say the Nashville-based guitar manufacturer is being investigated for violating the Lacey Act, a key piece of environmental law, for importing endangered species of rosewood from Madagascar…
…Sources tell NashvillePost.com Gibson was involved in a scheme that shipped the wood from Madagascar to Germany and then to the United States.
Not good for Gibson if the “sources” are on the money… an international rosewood smuggling ring.

Contraband?
From Fox News…
Well, that was the greatest Christmas gift I ever got. My parents bought an electric guitar from the JCPenney mail-order catalog. They paid $99 for it. I didn’t know they really couldn’t afford it. It took them a year to pay it off, a little bit each month. But that was a life-changing gift for me, and that gift really got me out of my basic shyness, which I’m sure you’ll find hard to believe. But if it weren’t for that electric guitar that my parents sacrificed to give me, I assure you I wouldn’t be on the FOX News Channel, wouldn’t be talking to you, would never have run for anything except run to hide.
There’s a lesson here kids; get an electric guitar and one day you can become Governor, lose weight, run for President, go to work for Uncle Rupe and become the new Paul Harvey.
WooHoo!!!
