Hi, I plan to update this blog soon, but for now I'm still here!

Derek Trucks

This is Derek, on stage at the 2001 Pensacola Spring Fest. I like this one, because he is smiling, something he dosen't do very often. He is a true Prodigy. I'm not sure what Duane would think about him, proud for sure, but Derek has taken slide to another level, I didn't think possible. He is in a class alone.

GAS Endstage Disease

This unfortunate patient is in the final stages of Guitar Acquisition Syndrome. Since exposure to the E-bay Virus, the disease has rapidly spread, and is incurable. The patient is clutching a black cat - in a desperate attempt to cure his GAS with a "Black Cat Moan"

Guitar Acquisition Syndrome

After playing converted Right-hand guitars and Basses for 15 years, this was my first lefty. I bought it sight unseen over the phone from Thoroughgood Music in Tampa in 1987. It was the beginning of my Guitar Acquisition Syndrome (GAS). This is no cure (although having children will put it into temporary remission)

50's Les Paul Junoir

In 1975, I picked this Les Paul Jr up, in Wichita Falls Texas, during my Air Force training days. I don't think I paid more than $125.00 for it. It had a 3/4 neck, but a screaming p-90. Eventually sold it to my best friend Gary, for about the same amount.

Freddy Fuzz

I did this in a Creative Literature class in High School. If you remember Zap Comics , you can see the influences. We moved to San Bernardino California, in my senior year - ahh good old San Gargonio High School, my one year there was pretty much void of fond memories. But at least they left me do stuff like this, instead of math or traditional English classes. I'd go to the Principle's office, If I had done this back home in the south.

Red Hot Chili Pepers

I've been into back-yard gardening for 20 years. Yep I grew these bad boys!
