  1. Pulled a double shift, worked all night into afternoon next day. I was wiped. Figured double espresso would keep me bright eyed on the 45 minute drive home. Driving along through NYC, to the George Wash. Bridge, and head north. Doing 35 on a local route. Hear something and realize that my front tire is blown, my front passenger side fender is shredded, and I’m now wide awake. Pull over, assess damage, throw on the donut and head home. Wife ask what happen? Am I alright? Told her that a deer jumped in front of me and I ate the barrier. To this day she says I’m full of it.
  2. Hello from New Jersey. Been on the planet 62 years and for my birthday my wife and kids pooled their pennies together and got me a brand new Les Paul Classic. Which is great if only I knew how to play it. It's been three months since I got it and I'm down stairs in the den at least an hour a day, every day, growing new callouses. I love that thing. My kid is a musician and a music major working on her Masters so thru her high school and under grad period I lived vicariously through her and bought her a Fender USA American Standard when she graduated High School. A Martin acoustic when she graduated college, and a PRS CE when she completed her Fulbright Scholarship. While she's away in England I'm using her Fender Blues Jr amp and a Line6 POD Go with the amp simulators off. Love the tone from this thing. Don't use the single coil tap much nor the phase switch. I listen to Blues, Jazz, Classic Rock, Latin Jazz, Folk, Classical, Opera, and some Country. Lately it's classic Blues, mostly Albert King and Eric Clapton with some John Mayall thrown in. Been playing mostly Blues on the Les Paul.
  3. Stevie Ray Vaughan last night and this morning. Now it's John Mayall Blues Breakers (the Beano album)
  4. 1958 Not too many kids who were born in the 70's, 80's, 90's own Gibson's I guess. Just us old guys.
