Since 2016 Tracii Guns & Phil Lewis have been touring as LA Guns and put out a few new albums, including this year's "Black Diamonds". I like Tracii and his posts on his love of the guitars & amps he uses.

Have a blast, they're playing up here at my local Music hall but passed on it. Saw Eddie 9V plays last weekend, this weekend it's LA Guns. I loved Three Dog Night as a teen, had all their albums. But seeing them now wouldn't be the same I expect.

Hopefully on your lists are: "Hired Gun" A documentary film about session and touring musicians that are hired by well established and famous bands and artists like Metallica, KISS, and Billy Joel. "Fanny: The Right to Rock" reveals the untold story of a Filipina American garage band that morphed into the ferocious rock group Fanny, who almost became the female Beatles.

Some DIY people shouldn't DIT...

Last year he played at our local Music Club, I loved "Year of the Cat" when it came out in HS. He did about 1/2 the songs from the album, his band is young, they open for him as The Empty Pockets and are very good. I had not seen any photos of him for years, I was taken a bit when he walked out - I said to my wife "Why is your father on stage?" - but once he started singing there was no mistake. His voice is as great as it was back then. And he did some Monty Python type jokes in-between songs. A great show if you ever get the chance.

Local boys, we saw them play live last back in '91. Gary does a Who Tribute show with his brother Mark, we saw them earlier this month in Salisbury, MA . Pat was sitting at the table next to us so we got to talk for a little bit. We got tickets to see them play in July in Portland, ME with Living Colour opening. The new stuff is different than the older stuff, reminded me a little of STP.

A beauty indeed, no need for the weird electronics. I thought the string winder-equipped machine heads were interesting.

Back in 2019 I went to the same traveling Exhibit in NH, they called it "Medieval to Metal" then and were tracing the art & evolution of the Guitar. They had a good mix of Oddball ones and Standard ones, the "Crossroads Guitar" was there as well, I really liked that one for all the carving work done. It was commissioned by the Museum and carved by Doug Powell of N.C. to represent the myth of Robert Johnson and the Devil buying his soul Had a different Teisco, an interesting green one as well as a Godwin Guitar Organ. Really nice exhibit is it's near you to see.

I've had these cases/guitars since the 80's and they have the most stickers: These two are only a few years old and are works in progress...

I also got tix to see Big Head Todd in early Feb up here in NH.

Think his neighbors hate him? Imagine Christmas...

The original taste of a McDonald's French Fry which made it the very best you could get. I'd go to Burger King to get a burger and then over to McDonald's for my fries.

I hear ya brother, I had pains a couple weeks prior but the ER kept me waiting so long (3+ hours) by the time they looked at me it was over. I was at a concert, went into the Men's room and passed out from an attack. I came out of it and thought it was a stroke based on the way I felt, they EKG'd me and I was fine but went to the ER and ended up in there for 4 days after every test yo could get before they figured out it was my Gall Bladder. Gone the next day and I've never felt better. I was lucky not to have to suffer the catheter, not eating or drinking and wearing a mask 24 hours a day for the four days was enough for me. And I'd missed my wife's 60th birthday. 😷
