[QUOTE="Bad Axe, post: 5135585, member: 111636"]Actually it's because we have a farm in Bad Axe Michigan, but I always thought that Bad Axe would be a kick-a$$ name for a rock group. When I was a kid, like all kids my age, there was a forced tour of duty to learn how to play the piano...but no guitar...at that time it wasn't considered to be a "worthy" instrument. Piano or violin; those were the choices and since a piano was also a magnificent piece of furniture to impress neighbors and friends then any/every self respecting middle class family of the day must have three essential items or be held in lower esteem: good china, good silver (eating utensils), and a piano. Of course the higher rated families would have an entire silver serving set beside just "the good silver". My job was to clean the silver so it didn't tarnish which is now referred to by coin collectors as "toning"...I now prefer ancient bronzes... As far as collecting ancients I'm just a rookie so we'll see how this goes.[/QUOTE]
