Larsongs

In California they have a special day called Pot Day.. The Pot stores celebrate with give free Prizes, Sales & Give Aways!

Brian also played a vintage Sunburst non reverse all decked out in gold too… That one on Reverb is Niiiiice! I’m curious how much for a brand new one from Gibson Custom Shop would cost? Thanks

OJ’s were Joints laced with Opium… Chasing the Dragon indeed.. Another time, Another world… One CCR Song that we played over & over was “Run Through The Jungle”…. Even today whenever I hear that Song I’m transported back to that Place & Time….

His Weed wasn’t. Besides buying by the Bag he offered Pre-Rolls. You could packs & cartons of Cigarettes that were steamed open, the tobacco was removed & filled with his Weed.. The Cigarette packs were resealed as if they’d never been opened. You could buy a Pack or a Carton.. I’d buy Marlboro’s. He also offered Pre-Rolls the size of Cigars. We would occasionally get some liquid Opium from another Papa San who ran an Opium Den & would lace his Joints.... We were F’n Crazy!

How much do you think would it cost for a new Gibson Custom Shop like the Firebird VII Brian Jones is playing!

I was initiated into a small group who would go to a Hacienda type Estate in Qui-Nhon & was turned onto some Hybrid Weed grown by a Mystic Papa-San in Vietnam.. It was on par with the Weed of today which I’m familiar with. Occasionally we would get OJ’s if you know what those were.. I don’t know how much we can talk about this topic online???

That’s what I’m talking’ about…..

I like Vodka, Bourbon & Scotch too! I quit weed several years ago.. Lost the desire I guess… Now that it’s legal it doesn’t have the same attraction.. LOL!

I only did that LSD twice.. The 2nd time some guy dropped it in my Coke & that trip lasted 2 complete days & nights.. I lived my whole life, died, was resurrected & was in the afterlife & it’s a long story… That was enough for me! Nowadays, I’m good with a few Beers. Or an occasional Monte Christo & a snifter of Courvoisier….

LOL! I kinda remember all the People were melted together in a Psychedelic Lava Lamp Light! I remember thinking Canned Heat’s song “Goin Up The Country” & “On The Road Again” we’re like the greatest Songs of all time! Then when CCR came on it was like being stoned listening to their Albums on Headphones X 1,000,000….. LOL! I still don’t know how I drove home after the Concert from San Bernardino to Corona on the Freeway? Like I said, it was a different time!

Sure.. why not.. If they’re happy I’m happy for them..

I saw them in San Bernardino, Ca. in 1969… Canned Heat opened for them.. My folks were out of town & I sorta borrowed my Mom’s White on White on White 1958 T-Bird as I blew the engine in my Car.. I had some Weed & my Brother in law had some Acid.. I don’t know how we got there or got home but what a great Concert! It was a Trip! It was a different time!

How’d you like the arse humpin’? LOL!

Sweetwater started theirs a while back.. Not sure how it’s working, or about Fees etc.. Just that it’s been in existence for a while…

Sorry for drifting off topic.. I kept waiting for proof that it was real.. And asked a couple times. I don’t recall the OP answering? Did the OP ever ascertain proof of authenticity? I hope it is & not a Chibson Knockoff which are very common these days…

I am the Lead Vocalist.. I totally agree!

My Martin D-35 is a 1975.. I worked in a Music Store in Palm Springs, Ca. in my youth.. It was owned by the late Rockabilly Hall of Fame Artist Jody Reynolds.. “Endless Sleep” was his biggest Hit Record from the 50’s.. Elvis had the Honeymoon Pad in Palm Springs & Jody would supply all the Instruments for his Jam Sessions whenever he came to town.. Jody & Elvis had been friends since their early days when they were unknowns touring around the South.. Anyhow, Jody would take his D-35 to the Jam Sessions.. Elvis would play his D-35.. Since Jody owned the Store & the Inventory that D-35 Guitar was still considered new.. I got that new D-35 Guitar as a Birthday present from my girl friend, who I later married & is now my wife of many years… Enjoy your ‘79! They are fantastic Guitars! Sgt. Pepper, what year were your D-35’s?

I think I mentioned I recently bought a new HD-28E with L.R. Baggs.. It’s a really great Guitar.. I bought it as a back up for my D-35 as it’s almost 50 years old & I wanted another Martin to play out with in addition to my Gibsons.. My D-35 is a fantastic sounding Guitar, is in great condition after Martin did Warranty work, Re-Fret & perfect repair to the Body. It gets of Studio & playing time.. I’m just paranoid taking it out anymore having had Guitar thefts in the past.. I know some of the Tone & Sound of mine comes from aging close to 50 years but it is one of the best sounding Acoustics I’ve ever played.. I played a Collings a couple years ago that came close.. But, even some D-45’s I’ve played didn’t sound as good.. Although, they were new… That said, I love my Gibson's too!

That’s manageable.. What do you do for your Electric Guitar’s? Saw this on YouTube & thought I’d pass it along to anyone who might be interested about Humidifying Guitars…

Were you able to ascertain it’s authenticity? Hopefully you did.. And if so, a great buy! Enjoy..

In the 90’s I’d had a few to many Beers & left my D-35 leaning against a wall.. During the night, while I was Sleeping it off, a large heavy framed Picture fell off the wall & put a hole through the bottom curvature of the Body.. Unsightly & I could’ve shot myself for being so stupid! Some years later I sent it to Martin for some Warranty work.. While it was there I asked them if it could be fixed.. They said yes.. They did a beautiful job! You’d never know anything ever happened to it.. I seem to learn everything the hard way.. But, once I do it sinks in.. I hear you about Earthquakes! I have too many Guitars to put the Case humidifiers in. I’d have to spend most my days re-dampening Case humidifiers! I probably have too many Guitars but I like them all! I’m finding the Room Humidifier is doing a great job of Humidifying my Guitars.. So, I’m going to divide my Collection in 2 Parts.. Each consisting of low to high price similar type Guitars.. Acoustics & Electric 6 & 12 Strings. And Bass’.. That way I can continue humidifying half of them for 2 weeks hanging out. While the other half are stored in Cases.. Then alternate every couple weeks..

You’re up north.. I’m in Southern California in Palm Springs, Ca.. Hot & Dry most of the year.. I recently got an excellent Room Humidifier. Now, I keep half of my Guitars in their Cases & the other half in my Humidified Guitar Room which I keep at 45-50% humidity. I do hang some of them & have a couple on Stands so they can breathe & get the full effect of the Humidifier.. I rotate the other half every couple weeks.. It makes playing a little more fun as I’m playing Guitars I haven’t played in a while..

If I’m not mistaken, using a humidifier can re-humidify Guitars.. I have 50 year old Guitars that have wonderful tone.. I do take pretty good care of my Guitars.. I do detail them periodically. I live in a dry warm Climate & haven’t really had much problem.. And, Until recently never gave much thought about humidity levels.. Our humidity ranges from 30-40% average… Recently, I have noticed some fret sprout & some minor checking on a couple of my older Guitars.. I now use a humidifer. I’m told even the fret sprout will resolve itself over time by reintroducing proper 45-50% Humidity to your Guitar…

Why would anyone buy a relatively expensive Guitar without some kind of proof, documentation, original Receipt of Purchase, a letter from Gibson or something as to what it is?? What is that old saying about a fool & their money... I wouldn't do it!!!

If they can’t provide some kind of proof of Authenticity there are many new Gibsons you can buy & know what you’re getting for $2500.00.. Here’s a List from a random Online Dealer.. With a little negotiating any of these New ones can be had for $2500.00 delivered or less…. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/acoustic-guitars/gibson--new?N=100512
