Feathers getting harder and harder to get what

You want. Just made an order for a bunch of stuff and one thing I wanted was about 12 saddles in different colors in the Dyed Over White China Sub Saddles. I got one and that is all they had with no thinking they would be able to get more. I wanted 12 & got 1, crud!

Then he told me the jewelry people were buying up feathers like crazy. I happened to tell him I bought some Jungle Cock Capes, one I told you guys about and then when I found out where he got them I called and got 2 more Grade #1 Jungle Cock capes and I was thinking about selling one, but this guy just said they were not going to be able to get any more them them either. Told him well maybe I will just keep all 3 Jungle Cock capes. No telling what is next, but I am going to add some extra feathers for my tying. Guess many I need to get more pounds of stuff?

So what the heck, guess I will try to stock up a bit more on the good stuff.

Depressing call it was.

It might be Lady GaGa's fault! My daughter watches her stuff, have you ever seen the headgear she wears?

Pete

P.S. My daughter was arguing that Lady GaGa is better than Bruce Springsteen and Lynyrd Skynyrd - can you believe that? I am gonna have her tested for brain damage!

LOL, Yeah I can't go with here being better them them guys. I have seen more and more people using feathers. I almost started making feather ear rings a couple years ago and even have a friend in that kind of business and she has been after me to tie her some to sell.

That is funny - my wife thinks my jigs with the feathers and flash would make great ear rings!

Have you tried Barlow's? Recently, I ordered stuff from Crazy Angler and the service and product were both excellent.

Once I started selling them I only uses Barlow's if desperate for a color or something. I do buy some from Crazy Angler, but I buy a lot of my stuff wholesale.

Crazy has good reasonable prices and easy to deal with plus Robert is a nice guy!

Skip

I have dealt with Barlow's for years. I think that when I first dealt with them they were Limit, or something like that. But I am not in the business of selling jigs.

I feel the same way LOL what is this world coming to :D

I am listening to ZZ Top right now and listen to Second Helping next. Love them old Rock bands from the 1960's and 1970's. Sure miss that quality now days and is the reason I listen to Country on the radio now. Always listened to come Country, but back then it was all Rock & Roll, but once the good ones quit and were replaced by the ones today, I just can't listen to this stuff they play now. Country has more "good" old Rock style now than the Rock stations.

I have a very wide taste for music, but the new stuff is just not like what was. I am a big Clapton fan too.

Ah, Second Helping has started, cool!

Later,
Skip

ZZ is good stuff for sure!!! Workin on some lyrics for a remake of Sharp Dressed Man...Every crappie's crazy for a hand tied jig...

Kids today don't know what music is!!!!!!! My neighbors kid likes Ice_T and I asked him if he listed to the rap music or the rock music. Didn't even know he had a rock band too.

The Classics are just that now the classics!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pink Floyd wasn't bad, but if you think they were better than Skynyrd then The lunatic is on the grass, the lunatic is on the grass....

Skip,

Country music today is more like pop with a Southern accent. A lot of it is crap. Especially the exaggerated twangs and drawls." Someimes I wonder whetehr they are singing or making fun of folks. I have lived in the Deep South and I have never heard anyone speak like some of these folks.

Skip, trhy finding a breeder or rancher that raises the fancier birds. A few of them will only sell for fishing. I had links to a coule in the past but have long since lost them. One was in Texas, 2 in the Virginias and one in Tennessee if I members right. they had good prices but didn't dye them so that may be a drawback.
