Too cool not to post.

Keep searching - You may just get lucky

Freak of the Week
1910 Epiphone Harp guitar

You could go pickin' for a hundred years & never find one of these. This one would really look cool hanging over the mantle.

'65 Gibson Firebird

Beautiful Retro Bird

Red Owl

Red Owl custom paint - Beautious - Thanks, Kii Arens.

WILD THING - Max with Guitar

Where the wild things are. This was a fun two layer photoshop project. Special thanks to Maurice Sendak for the wonderful childhood memories.

Alice in Wonderland.

Freak of the Week
This relic from beyond the looking glass only has two strings, but that's all that you really need. Finally somebody gets it.

Hendrix V

Freak of the Week
1967 Gibson Flying Vee with trem. If you're not envious of this one, don't sweat it. I'm envious enough for both of us.

New Boss Pedal

The only pedal I use anymore. It's all I really need. I could submit a long list of folks who could benefit from one of these, but for now I choose to remain politically correct. We're all legends in our own minds.

Tumblr Link

Is is possible to have this blog automatically forward to Tumblr? Two Brownie points available to the first correct correspondent to this query.

The Beverly Hillbillies Theme

Composed & recorded by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs, 1962. Who doesn't tap their toes when a banjo player starts pickin' out "the ballad of Jed Clampett". Still a great tune 50 years later.

Jackson Dinky DK2 Custom

Freak of the Week
Jackson Dinky DK2 Custom Bengal tiger stripe. George Lynch would be proud. Some A-hole just sniped me on this & stole the bid from me by $5.00. So close, oh well...

Email upload test - Darcel's Jem

Testing to make sure I can upload a pic to this site form my email. Here's an old shot of Darcel Jones with his '89 Ibanez Jem. Darcel was one of my first guitar students that I signed up in Anoka back in 1982. He's put some mileage on this axe over the last 20 years, & he sure can shred. Now he's the master, & I'm just, (well) old. Would love to see him performing out again one day soon.

Phone upload test: - Blue Anniversary Stratocaster - USA

Testing to see if I can upload to this site from my phone. Looks like it's working. Got my blue American Fender sparkle strat from ebay, & it arrived in mint condition. It's a 50th anniversary model from 1996. I always thought that the matching headstock was a nice touch. I purchased this contempo pop-machine to use in a duo setting with Raven, in which we performed together for a few years.

Avoiding Tom

Classic footage of my favorite local chick band "Avoiding Tom", featuring Kimmy Knowels, Pammy Scarbrough, Stef Eulinberg, & Jen Asmus-Castro. Recorded at Bogart's Place in Apple Valley, 1997. These girls really rocked the twin cities right. Oodles of talent, & so entertaining. I hope they all still get a chance to occasionally rock. I really miss these girls. They put on a great show.

Ibanez 20th Anniversaary Jem

Freak of the Week
Gosh, she's a beauty. The most sustaneous pick-ups imaginable, & the finish; well it doesn't have one. You can see right through this translucent beauty. Every serious player deserves one of of these coveted axes for ripping out a few Vai licks when the mood strikes. For now I'll have to be content just to look at the picture. It looks like it's going fast even when it's just sitting there. Zoom, Zoom.
