    My dining area is made to resemble the old Pizza Huts. I have a red checkered tablecloth, red plastic soda glasses, Christine red placemats, shakers with red pepper & Parmesan cheese, a real Pizza Hut lamp, and the iconic Early American mate's chairs, distinctive for their guitar shaped seats, ornate spindle backs and leg structures, and scolloped back rails. The hand hold in the back rail is for doing the gentlemanly thing for your sweetheart.
    The guitar shaped seat of a mate's chair is the thing that most people are oblivious to, but is what got my attention early in life when I first saw and sat'n a mate's chair as a six year old child. That was the first time my parents took me to Pizza Hut in 1969. Previously, I had never seen a chair with a guitar shaped seat. I also thought that Pizza Hut was a very unique restaurant, the brick interior walls, sconce globe lamps, and the trapezoidal windows. But of all of the original Pizza Hut decor, the mate's chairs were the most striking thing to me.
    Pizza Hut is also where I first heard many of my favorite rock classics on the juke box, including CCR "Proudmary", Shocking Blue "Venus", and the Rolling Stones "Shaddered". Sit'n up there in that old mate's chair, I laughed my socks off at "Laughter joy and loneliness and saxon saxon saxon saxon look at me! I'm in tadders! Uh shadoobie! I'm a shaddered!" My friends and I made up a hip lingo from that song that's stuck with me to this day.
    There were two periods when Pizza Hut had the mate's chairs in thier old restaurants, at the tables out in the middle of the dining room. They had 'em when I was first introduced to Pizza Hut in 1969. At that time, it was all tables and mate's chairs and no booths. The tables by the windows were two top. The four top tables were out in the middle of the dining room. Up at the counter, they had bar stools that had swivel mate's chair seats on 'em, which consisted of the bar stool itself, a swivel base, the guitar shaped seat, and the ornate spindles and back rail. 1973, after putting in the booths by the windows a year earlier, they changed the mate's chairs out for the cafe style bentwood chairs with the rimmed cane seats and the two question marks in the back. But in 1976, they went back to the mate's chairs, and had a seven year stint with them. I myself dream that Pizza Hut's second stint with the mate's chairs was the work of Christine, Stephen King's supernatural '57 Plymouth Fury. 1984, they went to the bentwood chairs again, and did away with a lot of the other original decor, including the red and white checkered tablecloths, sconce globe lamps, and red carpeting. They put in the Tiffany lamps over the booth tables.
    To demonstrate that the mate's chair seat is shaped like the body of a guitar, after finding a sadly mutilated mate's chair as a curbside, I salvaged the seat from it, and bought a bass neck from Eden Guitars. A friend of mine found a craftsman, who could use the bass neck and mate's chair seat to build a real bass guitar that has an actual mate's chair seat for a body. I've recorded some music in Garage Band on my Mac Mini in which I used the bass for the bass tracks. Playing it on stage, people can see the holes where the spindle back was, and the concave carvings for the hip cheeks. Fans can recognize right off that the body of the bass is a former mate's chair seat. The holes for the four inner spindles still have the broken off dowels in 'em.
