Right Hand Technique Used to Play Classical Guitar
You may have noticed that in order to play Classical Guitar players keep their right hand finger nails long but on their left they are usually clipped very short. The reason that the right hand nails are kept long is because they are used to pluck the strings and to play correctly a combination of the finger tip and nail is used to strike the string.
There has been much debate over how short or long the right hand nails should be in order to correctly play Classical Guitar, some players like the hard sound of just the nail striking the string and others prefer the softer sound of the meat of the finger. There is no "Correct" way it is a matter of personal preference and the ambiance that the piece is supposed to project. Part of the joy of playing Classical Guitar is the practicing of various pieces and experimenting with the different sounds as your mood changes.
If you want to see what I mean about the styles then You Can watch the You Tube videos of John Williams and Andres Segovia playing Asturias they play in very different ways and yet both versions are beautiful! Both these players are and were the best in the world in their respective eras. Andres preferred shorter nails and used the top part of his fingers more and John uses more of the nail, which gives the more staccato sound to his music.
The right hand fingers used in picking are the thumb (p) the index (i) the middle (m) and the ring (a) each finger operates separately from the others and either side of the nail can be used to strike the strings. However it is usual for the fingers to strike the strings coming upwards and the thumb going downwards. The little finger is used to support the hand and usually rests on the face of the guitar just beneath the strings. Flamenco players however use all their fingers to strike the strings and mostly use a down stroke from the fingers. The "pima" sequence of the fingers is often used as an annotation to Classical Guitar music and this is one way that you can tell music that is specifically for the Classical Guitar.
Another aspect is the shape of the finger nails Scott Tennant the author of Pumping Nylon and one of today's better players likes to shape the nails squarer than usual and advises that they should be angled so that the straight part strikes the string evenly, this enables a smoother release of the string. Segovia is said to have kept his nails shorter and not much longer than twice the width of the strings. Whichever shape and length you choose it will be necessary to use a high quality fine nail file preferably a stainless steel one, as these last longer, some extremely fine grained jeweler's sandpaper and a high quality leather nail buffer. These are used in sequence to shape the nail and then smooth the tip, so that there are no parts that may snag the string. The buffer is used to polish all parts of the nail so that the String Release is extremely smooth and predictable.

The Function Of Zmc’S Adjustment To The Heart-Cerebrovascular System
The conflict between mankind and diseases experiences the ages when people have drawn a far-flung and hard conflict against the infection. And the conflict against the germs and parasites has already obtained tremendous victory. However, with the improvement of living standards, such diseases as heart trouble?hypertension, cerebral arteriosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, malignant tumors have already become new epidemics.The trend mentioned above can't be drawn little attention to even in developing countries. In 1992, The World Health Organization (WHO) gave the alarm bell to people all over the world: every year the heart-brain blood vessel diseases will deprive 12 million people of their lives, which is about one quarter of the total of deaths in the world. It has been the first killer which is threatening people's health with the morbidity and death rate-- ranking the first among all kinds of diseases. In May 1997, a research report submitted by the World Bank (WB) and the WHO declared that the heart trouble is the first cause of people's death throughout the world and the second is cerebral apoplexy. Among the developed countries such as British, the Unite States and some countries in North European, the coronary heart disease is situated the first-rank, while in other countries such as Japan, Russia and China the incidence of heart-brain blood vessel diseases stands first on the list.
The heart-brain blood vessel disease is called one of the difficult problems in the medicine field in the 21st century. In order to resolve the problem, the medical field has been sparing no pains to research into it but attain little achievement. In the era of prevention and health protection medicine, people often maintain health and prevent diseases by improving the rhythm and regulation of life, ingesting balanced and appropriate nutrition, participating in moderate P.E. exercise and cultivating good habits. It is necessary for the patients who can't bear more burdens of their bodies and economy conditions to select one feasible means to reduce or eliminate the diseases suffering as possible as they can. In these aspects, ZMC has already gone ahead in the world medicine fields and pioneers a new era of the medicine history.
ZMC is an exercise means, which is simple, convenient, secure, reliable, economical, efficient and scientific. It can be concluded from the ten times more of large scale experiments and the much feedback from trainees' daily exercise that ZMC has a remarkable adjustment function to the heart-brain blood vessel diseases, such as headache, migraine, dizziness, cerebral hemorrhage, hypotension, anemia, hypertension, arrhythmia and tachycardia. ZMC brings numerous patients health and happiness.More details in the website http://www.okzm.net/en/index.htm
ZMC is the perfect combination of the Chinese cultural heritage and P.E. sport. She makes people dominate their own bodies, excludes danger by clearing away the interior waste, and adjusts the body to a topgallant state. "Life's continuity lies in exercise. The process of exercise is the process of adjustment and the result of adjustment is adaptation to the environment. None but doing exercise in the light of scientific principles, You Can live longer." As far as the appearances of the exercisers are concerned, they have ruddy complexions at large. The young girls are beautiful and the young boys are handsome without any cosmetic. They all have sooty hairs and natural and beautiful figures. They are making a happy life and owning a health body. These exercisers clearly exhibit natural beauty of human bodies.
At present, low or high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis are the popular heart-brain blood vessel diseases. Due to a broad source of the exercisers, coming from all fields of the society, there are many cases about blood pressures were controlled by ZMC quickly and remarkably.
After doing exercise of ZMC, Ms Liao's blood pressure had dropped from 140/90mmHg to 105/85mmHg; Ms Li's blood pressure from 140/95mmHg to 110/70mmHg. Among the old people including a few middle-aged persons, many of them suffer from hypertension. The statistical results of exercise in a seminar of ZMC show that the effect of ZMC's adjustment to blood pressures was very remarkable. For instance, Mr. Xu's, 73 years old, the systolic pressure decreased from 195mmHg to 154mmHg through the exercise; Ms Zhang's 56 years old, her blood pressure lowered from 150/110mmHg to 110/90mmHg. Moreover, many of them have gotten the good effects just after one or two time exercise.
The high blood pressure can be lowered, while the low blood pressure can also be raised. For example, Mr. Yang, a student of Shanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, had been in the lower blood pressure of 60/40 mmHg before he practiced ZMC. He was pale and usually felt dizzy and fatigued. Several years ago, a spleen-cut operation was carried out on him and the doctor told him not to participate in strong movement. However, after learning ZMC, he has a florid complexion and his blood pressure has risen to 100/70mmHg. In the endurance experiment of high temperature, he arrived at the first grade of national amateur standard for track and field. Ms Wen a student of Xianyang Weave Industry School, suffered from anemia and hypotension (60/40mmHg) and usually felt dizzy?fatigued? and breathed hard. After she practiced ZMC for 45 minutes, her blood pressure rose to 106/64mmHg and all the above-mentioned syndromes disappeared. Mr. Li 22 years old, after a two-day exercise, his blood pressure rose from 90/70mmHg to110/90mmHg. Ms Yang's blood pressure heightened from 85/60mmHg to 108/70mmHg through two-day exercise. Ms Wang, is a student of Sichuan University, whose blood pressure rose from 90/50mmHg to 110/70mmHg in a one-day exercise. Ms Wan blood pressure heightened from 80/60 mmHg to 110/80mmHg after a two-day exercise.
In the short period of exercising ZMC, the maximum of decrease in systolic pressure was 41 mmHg(Mr. Xu), the maximum of increase in systolic pressure was 46mmHg(Ms Wen). The hypertension and hypotension, called the lifelong disease by medicine fields, can be cured and restored to normal after ZMC exercise. The effect is so fast that beyond the understanding by Western medicine. So ZMC is a special form of P.E. exercise with comprehensive functions.
In pathology, inchoate hypertension appears intercurrent angiospasm of the systemic micro-arterial and the fluctuant blood pressure. The blood pressure will arise When the angiospasm happens and will be restored to normal level, when it is alleviated. Long-term micro-arterial angiospasm and the rise of blood pressure will lead to the increase of the ceroidlike material of basement membran, which is syncretized by endodermis and lubricative muscles. The ceroidlike material mixes with the plasma protein that penetrates in endodermis. With the development of disease, micro-arterial wall's burden decreases and its antrum are diminished, which leads to the increase in peripheral resistance, the rise of blood pressure and the lipid turbulence. Subsequently the level of cholesterol in blood increases periodically, vessel endothelium is injured and the dense cholesterol deposits on the injured vessel endothelium, which produces atherosclerosis at last. Long-term brainwork and being nervous would cause neuroendocrine system malfunction and the level of catecholamine and cortisone in blood to rise. If people don't participate in the physical work, their blood-flow will be slowed and the blood vessels' wall will be of incrassation and stiff losing flexibility. The dwindling of blood vessel wall would also cause atherosclerosis or thrombus.
The cause and pathogenesis of hypertension haven't been understood fully so far. The Western medicine generally believes the following factors probably relative to it: genetic factor, social psychology hyperirritability in vocation, lopsided diet, neuroendocrine effect and smoking. How does ZMC adjust?
The whole adjustment to the social psychology hyperirritability in vocations
Practitioners such as driver, telegrapher, and accountant who need high concentrative attention in a long term without enough exercise are apt to suffer from hypertension. Long-term angst, melancholy and horror could cause hypertension, too. According to investigation, social psychology hyperirritability has tied up with the hypertension, and the persons who suffer unexpected frustration from life have higher morbidity of hypertension than those in the control group. The hyperirritable matters of life include parents' early death, being lovelorn, bereaving one of one's spouse, families dying in traffic accidents, disease or injury, parents' divorce and economic and politic impact etc. ZMC strengthens people's willpower, cleanses people's soul and ameliorates people's characters. Many exercisers who were originally eccentric, depressive, and dumpish become optimistic, communicative and risible, full gladness and less agonizing after their practicing ZMC. Others who were originally hotheaded and apt to lose one's temper become non-blinkered, magnanimous and gentle and don't haggle over every ounce any more. So the exercisers enhance their tolerance, firm their will, widen their breadth of mind and adjust their nervous mood (neuroendocrine malfunction for tension and the high level of catecholamine and cortisone in blood are restrained or even restored to a well-balanced state.), which solves the problem that the interior hormone unbalance caused by the occupational factor and social psychology hyperirritability and affect all the metabolizing processes, accordingly, forms the root of hypertension. The factors mentioned above are all that the body suffers the ill stimuli from the outer or interior and brings about long-term, intense and iterative mental stress and small emotional fluctuation such as impatience?anxiety and fidgets etc, which causes the neural system malfunction and make the process of cerebral cortex control and excitation disorder. The cerebral cortex loses its control and adjustment to the centers below the cerebral cortex; such the vasomotor center (autonomic center) below the cerebral cortex will lose its natural function. When the vasomotor center produces long-term excitation of which the pressor part is preponderant, it may cause the spasm of the systemic micro-arterial and increase the peripheral resistance, and then lead to the blood pressure to rise. Human's essence of inclining to comfort and avoiding the danger makes the algesthesia center lie in the repressive state in a long term. Once people feel the ache, they try to get rid of it and keep away from the source of ache. ZMC designs ache, which has the subjectivity and can excite the algesthesia center fully. It is the character of the cerebral cortex that the more incitant certain part is, the more restrained other parts are. As a result, the vasomotor center weakens its control on the vasoconstriction so that the angiotelectasis happens and the blood pressure falls.
ZMC's adjustment to the lopsided diet
At present the medicine fields classify the effect on hypertension by diet into two types. On one hand, with the improvement of people's living standards, people take in so overmuch high protein and superfatted food, and the cholesterol content in blood increases. On the other hand, it is shown in some research that the people who take high content salt have a higher blood pressure or a higher morbidity of hypertension than those people who take less salt in daily life. It can be known in the feedback from the exercisers that ZMC has a remarkable adjustment to the digestive system. The enhancement of the digestive system function can rectify illness of unbalance diet. The equilibrium between taking food and imbibing nourishment would cut off the way to the hypertension for the high protein and superfatted food. Meanwhile, rectifying the illness of unbalance die will guarantee the amount of taking in vegetables, which would ameliorate the absorption of the microelement, such as calcium and potassium. Since the superfluous amount of salt can make the blood pressure arise and potassium in human body can accelerate the absorption of sodium, so the more amount of potassium is absorbed, the less ill effect on the artery vessels by sodium. Calcium can waken the effect caused by salt on blood pressure. The research into the effect on blood pressure by enhancing the amount of taking in calcium in meals shows that increasing the calcium content of diet probably decreases the patient's blood pressure. In a word, the adjustment to the digestive system by ZMC rectifies the ill habit of diet, and, to some extent, changes the effect of diet on the hypertension.
The influence of ZMC to the endocrine system
It is generally believed that the enhancement of irritability of arteriole sympathetic fibers is the most important nerval factor resulting in hypertension. The unbalance of function of arteriole sympathetic fibers will induce the neuroendocrine disturbance,which gets rise to the hypertension. When exercising, thanks to pain exercisers only concentrate on their legs so as to relax the control on the heart and brain's sympathetic fibers. So the irritability of arteriole sympathetic nerve fibers are reduced in short term, as subsequently affects the neuroendocrine system. It can be concluded from the phenomenon of the expelled poisons from kidney meridian, bladder meridian and other parts that ZMC can efficaciously adjust kidney. The adjustment can reduce the exudation of the renin, refrain the running of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce the forming of angiotensin-?. Under such conditions, the work of the system can reduce the amount of urine and can excite cardiac muscle so that the cardiac muscle and the small blood vessels contract powerfully. The powerful contraction of the small blood vessels, especially the cardiac small blood vessels, improves the blood circulation of the viscera and adjusts the blood pressure.
It has been proved statistically that the hypertension morbidity in smokers is higher than that in no-smokers. The poisonous chemical substance such as nicotine etc. will cause the increase in the content of cholesterol and the brittleness of blood vessel walls. The ZMC students all have a sense of repulsion for smoking, even some of whom were originally smoke addicts. Of course the unconscious abstinence from cigarettes is also a kind of adjustment to the hypertension.
ZMC also has remarkable adjustment function to the cerebrovascular system
Although the weight of encephala only occupies 2% of the body weight, the oxygen consumption of it accounts for 20% of that of the whole body and the blood demand of it accounts for 15% of cardiac output. In addition, the brain tissue can't reserve power and carry out the non-oxygen fermentation of sugar, so brains need the especially high provision of oxygen and blood. Once brains lack nutrition, the nerve cells will be injured. ZMC has its unique means to adjust the lack of oxygen and blood needed by brains. ZMC adopts special low-location sitting posture, which blocks the blood circulation of crura and reduces the provision of blood to crura. So during the course of exercise, sufficient blood can be provided to the brain and consequently the cerebrovascular function can be adjusted. Through exercising ZMC, the functions of various organs of human body and the hematopoiesis are enhanced. The amount of total blood are increased, so is the provision of blood to brains; brains have adequate nutrition and the good function of a brain can affects other parts of human body, which leads to the formation of a healthy circle.
The above-mentioned mainly discuss the adjustment function of ZMC to the heart- cerebrovascular system as a whole. So, how does ZMC adjust the heart- cerebrovascular system concretely?
Firstly, ZMC is one kind of P.E. exercise. Exercise can produce caloric, which can intenerate blood-vessels walls and make them pliable and flexible. When people combine the intense movements with gentle parts in the exercise of ZMC, the heat produced in the exercise melts their superfluous fat, the fat is transformed into caloric and consequently the exercisers' weight is adjusted and the blood vessel wall is intenerated, this is the reason why the blood pressure is quickly restored to the normal level.
Secondly, ZMC adopt special low-location sitting posture. So, femoral arteries' blood circulation is limited so greatly that the crura will be in a state of lacking blood provision and subsequently it will extremely lack oxygen, which forces the human body to adapt itself to this abnormal condition. Under a normal condition, the percentage of capillary, which are in use, is less than 20% in human body. It is obvious that there is a broad spare base provided for human body. When exercising, femoral arteries are pressed and human body begins to adjust the microcirculation of crura to provide the local with nutrition by opening the spare blood vessels that are closed formerly. In this way, the crura are provided with blood and oxygen only by the microcirculation, which largely decreases the burden of the heart. As a result, the heart has enough contraction together with the blood of crura flowing upwards could provides the heart and brain with plenteous blood, and the function of the heart itself is enhanced. SuWen?WuZangShengChengPian has said, "All kinds of blood are connected with the brain". If the function of the heart is good, the throb will be in rhythm and the pulse conditions will be harmonious and powerful. Due to the adequate provision of blood for the upper part of human body and the powerful throb of the heart, the blood constantly bounces against not only the open blood vessels but the originally closed capillary, which forces the formerly open vessels to be relaxed and the upper microcirculation to be opened washing off the abnormal deposit on the blood vessel walls. All these aspects benefit both the augmentation of the blood vessel antrum and the drop of blood pressure. For the hypotension suffers, when excising, their hearts similarly contract powerfully, blood vessel walls are intenerated and adequate blood bounces against the blood vessel walls too, which makes the elasticity of blood vessel walls better than before. Taking one with another, the effect on the hypotension suffers is making blood pressure rise. So we can draw a conclusion that ZMC could adjust the blood pressure bi-directionally.
Diaphoresis, emsis, diarrhea are three kinds of excretion ways in the therapeutics of TCM. ZMC has its unique way to excrete "sweat". As a scientific form of gymnastic sport, ZMC makes human body produce a Great Deal of caloric and sweet by accelerating the blood flow and the metabolism of tissues of human body. Through much research into the sweat expelled from the exercisers, it has been found that initially the sweat has various kinds of odor and even some sweat has viscosity. With the further exercise, the odor of sweat gradually disappears and the sweat becomes clear. At the same time, the body obviously feels refreshed. Is the excretion only the sweat? A lot of waste is expelled from bodies with the sweat, as is an advanced blood dialysis. In other words, the deleterious matters in blood are expelled from the body, which decreases the inducement of the hemal diseases. Meanwhile, the blood becomes relatively more viscous because the water in blood is evaporated. Under the impelling of heart, the viscous blood has a larger impact against the blood vessel walls and forces them to dilate and contract more powerfully. Through such-and-such repeating impact, dilation and contraction, the blood vessel antrum become capacious and the blood vessel walls become more flexible. As a result, hemal diseases, including cardiovascular disease such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis, arteriostegenesis, ateritis, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and myocarditis and brovascular disease such as cerebral apoplexy, can be adjusted thoroughly.
ZMC can adjust the heart-cerebrovascular system by means of the special manner--combining the intense movements with gentle parts. The blood vessel walls contract and relax by turns along with the special manner and by the same token the blood quality also becomes fine. While the blood vessel wall and blood have been adjusted, in return, the heart also has been done and in fact the whole circulation system has been adjusted. As far as the diseases are concerned, such as mitral valve prolaps sydrome and atrial spetal defect, the Western medicine believe such suffers must undergo operations if they want to get well. However, ZMC exerts its tremendous advantage of adjustment to change the under-Conner and restore the injured parenchyma only by combining the intense movements with gentle parts. For instance, Ms Du, 50 years old, was a worker of ShanXi towel factory. In 1971, she suffered from cardiopathy belonging to mitral valve prolaps sydrome. After she learned ZMC, she participated in an endurance test of high temperature in July, 1998. Under the condition of 36~39?, she had run 20,000m easily. Would you believe she still suffered from cardiopathy?
TCM theory says: "Qi serves as the commander of the blood and blood is the mother of Qi, Qi in motion renders blood circulating normally, stagnation of Qi and blood stasis." The blood can't successfully flow when adopting special sitting posture in the course of exercise for ZMC, which brings about a contradiction between blood and Qi in terms of the theory. In order to solve the contradiction, the body should accelerate the circulation of Qi and make Qi break through the obstacle. In this condition, you will feel like pins and needles in your crura. At the same time, some people who have trouble in their hearts may feel panic and dizzy. The reason for this is that when Qi breaks through the obstacle, the power of Qi is so strong that these people cannot bear it. According to the TCM theory, "Qi can help the brain to circulate blood", increasing the load of heart is helpful to enhancing the endurance ability of the heart and is also the adjustment to the function of the heart. The symptom appearing in the exercise such as panic and dizziness is common. The reasons for this are following: the inner Qi in the body is used and "Qi pressure" is enough to some extent accordingly. However it isn't still strong enough to break through the blood circulation of the pressed crura and has to rush upwards to the head. Qi's running upwards, which TCM theory calls "abnormal rising of Qi", is prone to cause panic and dizzy. If the "Qi pressure" becomes strong enough to breaks through the Zang and Fu and the minute venation of brain, the blood will produce "diffluence" and "blood flow in the vessel". As a result, both the blood circulation of Zang and Fu and that of encephalon have been reinforced. Consequently, the heart- cerebrovascular system has been adjusted.
Heart-cerebrovascular diseases are called as modern lifestyle diseases, in some measure, it points out that this kind of diseases are expensive in therapy. Not all the people can bear the expenditure of medication. Heart-cerebrovascular diseases are lifetime diseases and the patients must depend on the medicine for a long time. However, the therapy cannot resolve the problem from the headstream. So as medicine does it has side effect, which would affect the patients' life quality badly. What's more, some patients prefer taking a sudden death risk in taking medicine and bearing the side effect of therapy. It is indicated from the data that the third-fourth of hypertension patients give up the therapy for it, meanwhile lots of patients also give up the therapy because of the expensive fee-for-service (medical expenditure). Large amount of feedback information have proved that exercising ZMC can rapidly adjust the function of body, enhance constitution and relieve the pain of patients, which not only reduce the medical expenditure but also boost the life quality of the patients. In a word, ZMC has a tremendous social value.
Because the time I have learned and exercised ZMC is not long, I know little about the universal and profound meaning of ZMC, and I know little about the heart-cerebrovascular system as a pharmacy college student, the opinions mentioned above are only my personal views. Among the opinions, there are inevitably some warps, oversights or even errors and I sincerely hope every friend to criticize and point out mistakes so that they can be corrected.

The Unseen Pitch: More Baseball Stories And Baseball Songs From The Gowell's
Don't forget if you're interested in hearing more from Ace Diamond the guitar slinging baseball singer of the baseball diamond visit him at the official ace diamond website – www.acediamond.info – You Can sign up there to download free Baseball Songs and ripping baseball tales and yarns.
Well, you've probably read about (The Gowell's) Baseball Songs and Baseball Stories and we're still telling the story of the trip to Oneonta N.Y. "Larry & Dick" on their way to join the Oneonta N.Y. Penn League squad. Just after "Larry" signed a pro contract (chosen in the 4TH round of the 1967 baseball amateur draft by the Yanks.) considered one of the best drafts ever! "Dick' aka Ace Diamond also signed a free agent contract with scout Pat Colgan. Both players were assigned to Oneonta to play pro ball!
Now you probably read about the family trip (Mom, Dad Dick & Larry & their dog Lucky)arriving in Oneonta and getting the boys into their new apartment, It was an exciting time even though they got lost a couple of times they actually did arrive and couldn't wait to "Play Ball"
The next day they met their teammates from all across the country. Manager "Frank Verdi" was there to greet them .Frank was great fiery skipper, who was liked and respected greatly by the team! The 25 man roster was set and after a few days of practice came opening day at home & it was an exciting time for both brothers embarking on a professional career!
( I ) "Dick"(who was a back up outfielder)recalls one night game at Home (we had decent lighting for a minor league park) mid-July (1967) when Larry, who was a starting pitcher, was on the mound. Keep in mind he was a side-winder that ALL righties hated to face! Larry's arsenal included a great fastball and a unhittable slider & a change up!..But this "Special Night” he was simply overpowering! A fellow teammate "Johnson", a savvy draftee from the a big southern college was "perched up on the dugout steps along with most of the Oneonta team"; because we all realized Larry had "special stuff that night" ! He was throwing unbelievable smoke that night! His Brother "Dick" was a witness (from the dugout) that night. Seeing him pitch many remarkable games before, but this night "Larry" was incredible! About halfway through the game he uncorked this "one particular pitch" and "Johnson jumped up & exclaimed!! ".Guys! What was that? Did you see that pitch? What the Hell was that? .No, his brother didn't see it either and nobody else in the dugout saw it! (Just heard an "explosion when it hit the mit!” Nobody but the Catcher saw it! Wow! The batter looked stunned after being called out, carried the lumber back to the bench in a daze! We won the game, But that "ONE PITCH"(heard 'round the world" (at least around our world) That one pitch ("THE UNSEEN PITCH!)" that none of the Oneonta team saw "really made our night!"
* Special Note: Larry was on the Yanks major league roster for four years in a row (1970-1973) and broke many minor league records in his seven year career/appeared in the Majors in 1972!.."Larry" holds the all time record for most pitches in a professional game. Elmira, N.Y.(AA) 1971- a completed 14-inning win (throwing an unbelievable 242 pitches ** One spring (Early 70's) ..Major league outfielder "Curt Blefary" after an tough session in the batting cage. could be heard muttering to himself ("Garcia, Lemon, Fellar & Gowell!) Which was reported in the sports section of the N.Y.Times!

Probably around $7k. Edmunds, NADA and KBB aren't good indicators of used Wrangler pricing, because they fail to consider the popularity within the off-roading niche market. I'd put it on eBay and advertise the listing on some of the online Jeep forums in the 4-sale section.
US $69.99
