  1. He parleyed a simple beach song into an empire. When he was tired of renting tour busses he bought his own fleet and rented them to other bands. One of my greatest moments was seeing him in Lahina (RIP) in CBIP no fanfare just a nod of my head. "Hey I know you"   Sail on, son of a sailor.

  2. I work on the dust method. If I see my Bird is getting dusty on her stand I have waited too long between practice sessions. So I grab a micro cloth, shine it up and devote at least a couple hours practice/new songs. She is always on her stand in my bar. Calling me. Mocking me. Begging me. "Play me already!" Plus it "forces me" to make myself a stiff drink and forget the rest of the fced up world for a few. Think I'll head over there right now and see if she needs a dusting off.

    cheers

    One of my favorite players has a new signature. Shall we call it the Honey Dripper?

    Gibson has expanded its lineup of Custom Shop artist collaborations with the Keb’ Mo’ “3.0” 12-Fret J-45, its third signature guitar designed for the Grammy-winning songwriter.

    A round-shouldered dreadnought in the classic style, the “3.0” 12-Fret J-45 is a blast from the past, an old-school American workhorse finished with aVintage Sunburst stain on its thermally aged Sitka spruce top, with solid mahogany on the back and sides. 

    Nitrocellulose lacquer gives it the gloss that will fade nicely over the years – though your ears should be telling you that you're playing an older acoustic if that ageing process has gone to plan. 

    The J-45 balances that blue-collar vibe with the sort of build and details you would expect on a high-end acoustic guitar – you will find multi-ply binding on the top, single-ply binding on the back and fingerboard.
