    Skunk Baxter: amazing...

    He really is an amazing person. From The Doobies to Steely Dan, countless session credits, his work as a producer on other people’s records….all the way to his being a consultant to the US Defense Dept specializing in missile defense systems. (He also consults to numerous contractors in the...

    Yamaha Guilds

    Honestly, I'd rather have a foreign parent company making guitars in the US than an American company making guitars offshore. (I for one, only have any interest in domestic made Guilds, no matter who owns them..(.the rest are Squiers to me. Not "real" Fenders!)

    The Led Zeppelin Channel

    I'm usually not into reaction videos, but this one popped up in my feed and found it too interesting not to share. Just to see something second nature to us displayed to a culture completely void of that type of music ....and the honest emotional reaction, is fun to watch. It proves without a...

    My Other Passion Besides Guilds - The Grill

    Another little secret that I've had a lot of success w/..... In this day and age of grilling/smoking shows on tv and everyone now being a backyard pitmaster, what was once a tough, cheap, and undesirable cut of meat, the brisket, is now practically unaffordable. :( Briskets were once a...

    Dickey Betts dies at 80

    Have to agree. Clapton since the mid 70’s imo has phoned it in and doesn’t seem too inspired. When his reputation is thrown on stage w/ the likes of a Derek Trucks or a Jeff Beck, he seems to wake up and remember why he got that God moniker all those many years ago. The 2 times I’ve seen him I...

    Some more never before seen footage came out today. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Cleveland 75. The fifth show of the tour, Plant had the flu but carried on like a trooper. Page is in total duck walk glory...and there's a rare (for 75) How Many More Times. This is silent 8mm fan shot footage synced just recently to an...

    Dickey Betts dies at 80

    One of the outtakes from the Brothers On The Road DVD. (Which that University of Florida clip posted earlier I s also from) A little late night hotel room jam w/ Dickey and Dan Toler (Dan and his brother were in the Allmans touring band during the very early 80's (and were in Dickey's side band...

    Dickey Betts dies at 80

    Well not really. He was having sex in Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon Ga (where Duane and Greg are both buried) and noticed the headstone next to him belonged to one Elizabeth Reed, the name stuck w/ him and dedicated the song to her (but mostly to the memory of what took place at the foot of her...

    Dickey Betts dies at 80

    They wrote the blueprint for that southern rock sound! Other bands w/ 2 drummers. 38 Special, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, etc. 😉

    Dickey Betts dies at 80

    Dickey was a big fan of Django and Jessica was his homage to him, in that the main riff can be played w/ just 2 fingers. 😉 Sad day for sure. I’ve seen the Allmans well over a dozen times since the 80’s and as good as they became instrumentally in the end w/ Derek/Warren/Oteil, there was just...

    Where’s the cat?

    Black snakes are in the king snake family which will eat copperheads. But..depending on subspecies, they can be either quite timid and easily handled...or they can be complete bastards and want to strike anything that comes near...so I just leave them alone. I did pick up a garter snake in my...

    Where’s the cat?

    Speaking of animals getting stuck somewhere in the house. Last fall, there was a med sized black snake in my basement laundry room. Startled the heck out of me. I went to get a rake to use to get the thing out of the house...and that was the last I ever saw the thing. I live in a 4 level split...

    Yep. Probably looked at you w/ a “Time to eat, huh?” look. And that was all.
