Got new Nitto "Grand Raundoneur" (sic) handlebars (132) and of course needed to retape, retwine, and reshellack. Generic white "cork" tape, white cloth tape, hemp twine, and amber colored shellac.

Bent up old fishing net was torn, adorned it with some wooden flowers, shellac to the handle makes it a nice piece. Old Pal fishing pail dented up and was out in the trash.

Side A - Honky-Tonk Man
Side B - I'm Ready, If You're Willing.
Horton and Franks were pushing for Honky Tonk Man to be the lead-off single but strangely Don Law didn't believe in the song, and it was only after the intervention of Jim Denny that Law relented and issued it with I'm Ready If You're Willing on the flip side. Live shows were arranged to push the single with the band featuring Franks on bass and a teenager from Minden, Louisiana, Tommy Tomlinson on guitar.
The single was reviewed in the March 10th issue of Billboard, who said of Honky Tonk Man, "The wine women and song attractions exert a powerful hold on the singer, he admits. The funky sound and pounding beat in the backing suggest the kind of atmosphere he describes. A very good jukebox record." Of the b-side it read "Horton sings out this cheerful material with amiable personality. This ever more popular stylist ought to expand his circle of fans with this one." Indeed he did, and by May the record had climbed to the number 9 spot in the C&W Jockey chart, as well as number 14 in the Best Seller chart.
It was project wrap and shellac day. I shellacked some cork grips for a roommate's bike, and added a couple layers to the Long Haul Trucker. Then I used some white Silva cork bar tape to make grips on the Rudge Sports, then twined it, and applied five layers of shellac. I used Bullseye pre-mixed amber shellac for the job.
From the ‘Chess’ series, soft, pale nudity and hard shells combine to create contrast visually and conceptually. In the game of chess she is the board’s ‘bouncer’, the white Rook, and she literally is a ‘hard ass’!
