    A Japanese Tele with humbuckers.

    I thought you left California.....

    Oh yes, I left Murph.  Missed ya' man.  Idaho was good to me and the wife.  The kids, not so.  Wife was offered a job to take over a college medical program back in Cali.  It's something she was interested in doing.  We're back in our hometown.

    Hope you're well, Murph.

    Nice guitar. Does it need those string trees?  

     

    Not really sure about the string trees.

    Non of my other telecasters have them.  I'm not worried about it and I won't be taking them off too soon.

    They don't effect the way I play or the way it sounds.

  3. Thank you gentlemen.  I was originally going to get a black one, when this beautiful Vintage White showed up on Reverb.  
    I really like it and it’s been an inspiration to play my *** off lately. 
    These Japanese Fender Traditional 70s Thinline Telecasters are good guitars and I’m glad I was able to give it a good home. 
    The vintage white is classy. 

  4. Yeah, thanks.

    It was a cool show.  Actually it was a celebration for sobriety.  Carlos has been sober for 26 years.   Many of the musicians who performed at this years event are from successful bands who now live in the Los Angeles/Orange County area.  They are also celebrating their recovery and still rocking.

    Laurie Morvan was a guest and performed Little Wing.  She's grammy nominated this year for her latest blues album, Gravity.

    it is unforgiving if you're not dead on with triggering the loops properly.

     

    That's exactly the deal.

    I've been working on my groove and want to lay down some loops, but you have to be dead on.  Plus figuring out the functionality of the unit.  Half an hour a day should get me there soon.

     

  6. Yeah, I picked up a TC Electronics Ditto Looper X2 today.

    It takes some getting used to and I'm sure the more I use it, the better I'll get.  So anybody got one?

    What do you think about it?

    Thanks

  7. So what sort of hobbies do you have?

     

    I collect baseball and other sports related cards. Mostly baseball, but I have basketball and football in my collection too.

    I used to do shows, but those seem to have become not so popular anymore. It was once a good way to make an easy $500.00 on the weekend. It was also through these shows that I began collecting autographs too.

     

    I think I'm most proud of my Reggie Jackson, Nolan Ryan, and Derek Jeter baseball card collections and my Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant basketball collections.

  8. Born on the bayou

     

    Yeah, I love that song.

    Been playing variations of that for some time now.

    Fogerty's initial discovery of the E7 main chord actually started as a lose jam at a gig.

    When CCR went to record it, Fogerty switched from Rickenbacker to a Gibson ES-175 (right in my wheelhouse).

     

    Here's the story behind the song. It's a great article.
