I'm going to re-cycle a cover that I posted in a contest earlier this year:



I really like it not just on account of Hal Foster's artwork (stunning, as always) but for the musical instrument shown in the center foreground. Foster's draftsmanship allows us to see the details, including those strings that are not attached to the fret board but that run above it, where they resonate in overtones to the plucked strings. Your assignment this week, then, is to pick a cover showing someone who is playing an acoustic stringed instrument, i.e., not an electric guitar. (To make it easier, let's allow covers in which someone else is playing an electric guitar, so long as someone is playing an actual acoustic guitar or other stringed instrument.) And as usual, here are:

7) It's Okay to Discuss the Covers but if you Think Someone's Entry Doesn't Fit the Theme or Violates the Rules, you Don't need to Argue it in the thread, Simply Don't Vote for It!

9) AFTER the Tie-Breaker Vote, Voting Ends and the Winner is Declared by The One Who Started the Thread (or assigned surrogate) and Thus will do the Counting.
10) HAVE FUN!
