CAMPFIRE SONGS
What songs do you or would you play around a campfire? I'm partial to the old classics, Camptown Races, She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain, Home on the Range, I've Been Working on the Railroad, Oh! Susanna, This Land is Your Land, and Clementine. What other suggestions do you have for me? I want to play songs people will probably know the words to, so they can sing along. So maybe, Row Row Row Your Boat, Michael Row the Boat Ashore, On Top of Spaghetti?

@Billy T Scrapper HA HA! That's a good one. Just like Junk Food Junkie. https://youtu.be/jQnIL-XPerQ?si=HK_sxVL_9giDKbPB Don't pay attention to the closed captions... they are badly done.

@Billy T Scrapper I have the sheet music.
FUTURE POST IDEAS
I have several Ideas for future posts. They will take a significant amount of time to create. So, here's a poll to gauge interest. I'll do them in order from most votes to least votes. If there's something you'd like to know about that I didn't list, comment to this post, tag me in your comment, and I'll see what I can do. If you have an idea, please check the comments to see if someone already suggested your idea. If yes, give it a thumbs up. It'll be easier for me to see which topics are the most popular in the comments. Thanks.

I'm going to start writing some of these posts soon. I can't do the Basic Guitar Maintenance articles right now. My workbench is in disarray, and I'm not sure when I'm going to get it cleared off and organized. So, I will start with How To Find Undervalued and Affordable Guitars -- Tips, Tricks, and Pitfalls to Avoid.

@Nick Nixon See my comment above regarding the basic guitar setup topic.
Best Pedals You've Bought
Here are some of my favorite pedals. - Polytune3 tuner - hands down the best tuner I've ever used, - Black Mountain volume wheel - better than volume pedals, IMO. - IK Multimedia XDrive, X-Vibe, X-Space-, X-Time pedals - everything you need and more in four pedals. - Singular Sound Beat Buddy with the add on footswitch - hands down the best drum beats pedal (I've bought and tried quite a few). What are your favorite pedals?

@Shawn Kirkham I have three boards too. My main board has the four IK Multimedia pedals, X-Drive, X-Vibe, X-Time, and X-Space, a Boss Super Shifter, and a Boss Loop Machine. The secondary board has a variety of mini and micro pedals from various companies. I keep switching pedals in and out trying to find a combination I like. Eventually, I'll probably sell the whole thing, hard case included. The third board has the TC Electronic Polytune 3 tuner, Black Mountain volume wheel, Joyo Orthros Selector, Fender ABY, and TC Electronic Sentry Noise Gate. It ties the other two boards together through the Orthros Selector and ABY pedals and feeds the signals into the amp, which right now is a Joyo BantamP xL. With it, I can play through either board separately, both together, or switch back and forth as needed. Right now, the secondary board is in the garage connected to my Bugera 333-212XL boutique combo tube amp. I just got a Leo James Tank pedal, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. All three boards are Holeyboards, one is the original two-tier, curved wood board, while the other two are the straight, two-tier aluminum boards. I like the aluminum boards better. They're smaller, but you can connect them to be as large as you want and larger pedals fit better on them than the curved board.

@Aaron Gwin What makes it the best pedal you've ever bought? I'm contemplating buying the BOSS GT-1000 (along with the Singular Sound Aeros Loop Studio Gold Edition and an eBow). PS I really want to get the Fart pedal, just for the novelty.
I COULD NOT RESIST!
Purple is my favorite color, and Iron Maiden is my favorite rock/metal band. As such, resistance was futile! Temu find: Factory Custom Purple Alexi Laiho Swallow Tail V Electric Guitar (photo 1) Another Temu find: Unbranded Rockingbird Electric Guitar (photo 2) But the coup de grace, ultimate find, was on Facebook Marketplace: Iron Maiden Killers Eddie electric guitar, ash bodyโ€”hand-painted, sealed 15 times overโ€”a fragging amazing guitar body! [UPDATE] I'm pretty much done buying guitars. There aren't any out there that I want at the moment. Even with the ones I plan to sell after giving them a comprehensive setup, I have more than enough, plus, I'm just about out of room to display them. Exceptions: 1) I finally found a 7-string Iceman kit at guitarkit.com. I've been looking for one of these for quite a while; 2) I'm currently winning an Enya Inspire 39" Smart Electric Guitar on MAC.BID, though I don't expect to win. While it's $500, my max bid is $140, and I won't bid more; 3) I backed the LightJam Kickstarter several months ago. I should be getting it soon, though the last time I checked, a few weeks ago, it showed it was in the packaging stage. 4) It's not a guitar, but I am currently winning a Vangoa Mandolin Musical Instrument A Style Acoustic Electric with a max bid of $51. The current bid is $50. With about 5 hours left until the auction closes, I don't expect to win. Since these mandolins retail on Amazon for $140, which is very affordable, I'm not going to bid more on this auction. If I buy any more, I think my wife will disown me. [UPDATE 2] I won the mandolin auction with a final bid of $52. Couldn't resist not bumping up my maximum bid a little. Didn't see any cosmetic problems with it. Came with a decent soft-shell case. Haven't played it yet. Plan to tune it up and give it a whirl later today.

@Lance Pepin Sometimes things don't look as good IRL as they do in photos. I don't think that will be the case here. I hope they play and sound great. I expect them to. I've bought quite a few guitars from Temu; not a single dud. Not even the Chinese brand, YangShen, entry-level guitar.

@Daniel Rosenfarb I've bought more than a few guitars from Temu. Haven't gotten a bad one yet. Most of them have been starter guitars: Glarry, Fesley, and one Chinese brand, YangShen. Two of the others were blatant copies: a Wolfgang Standard and a Fender Jazzmaster. One is a Red Pepper 12-string acoustic-electric. The rest are unbranded (no name on the headstock). None have been duds. Some need minor fretwork (trimming the fret ends) because the necks have shrunk a little after receiving them. All of them will sound even better when I can give them a proper setup. Temu is a good source for finding bargain-priced guitars. Glarry, Fesley, Donner, and other entry-level guitars are actually decent guitars out of the box. They can be great guitars with a proper setup and new strings (I'm partial to StringJoy strings). And they will definitely be great guitars if you install brand or signature pickups, locking tuners, and other hardware.
