Just a skosh over three and a half decades ago, a folksy balladeer by the name of Willis Alan Ramsey had a real fine album out that included a song by the title of "Muskrat Candlelight."

Some of you may remember that album, and many of you, if asked, might say that the song you remember was called "Muskrat Love". That is likely because the song was later made popular by other musical artists like the band America, and the duet Captain and Tenille, who chose to record the song under the title of "Muskrat Love".

Me sharing this info is just a cheap and shameless way for me to segue into introducing a photo I just took of a folder I got in the mail today.

Oh, and btw, my favorite song ever by Willis Alan Ramsey was "The Ballad of Spider John." Here's a link to a nice rendition by Reid Maclein. You can listen to the song while you gaze at the muskrat if you choose to.

Well thanks for posting the pic, I enjoyed both the song and the Bose/Case Muskrat.

By the way, a very nice avatar you selected.

Seeing as it is 5am I think my favorite song would have to be Sleepwalkin', what a bass line in that one...and it is that that knife would be what northway said it was...lol.
 
Case-Bose collaboration. Great pic! Did you just pick that up on Ebay? It looks like one I was looking at.
 
If I saw only the blade I'd have been certain it was a Case/Bose Collab. That one is a beauty. Nice pic too!
 
Now thats what I'm talking about!!!! Case/Bose Muskrat with wharncliff I just ........... all over, can I mary her!!!! Very nice.
 
I prefer "Bose/Case" over "Case/Bose" but that's just me. Ford, I hope you're not getting all weepy again listening to your Captain and Tennielle records over and over. It's time to move on...

I like that pattern a lot and great picture.
 
Bonus points all around except for Mike Robuck who has to forfeit 10 pts. for picking on Tenille. :p

5 extra pts. for SharpNJ. ;)

Thanks for all the nice comments folks.
 
Shaaaaweeeeeeet Image. That's some gnarly cool lookin handle on that knife. :)
 
Thanks Kerry, I sure appreciate that. :)

btw, I guess I shouldn't be so hard on Robuck. I forget sometimes that he still has traumatic memories of the year he dressed up as Tenille for Halloween, and got mugged by some bully 4th graders who took all his good candy and his bag, and left him holding only his sticky miniature popcorn balls. :eek:
