Ive always wanted a Danelectro guitar, and I always thought these looked cool... http://www.blackguitars.com/Effects/danelectrosummer.jpg I've got a few of them, the only mini pedal I still use is the Tuna Melt - Tremolo. Some of them are pretty good though, especially for the money. Why Spend more...

I remember buying a few 45s back in the day, though I'm not sure which ones. Some had to be from the older brothers. I wonder if any are still around, I recall 'Sunshine of Your Love' on a little toy 'victrola' thing. I think some Steve Miller, Elton John, ROyal Guardsman.. I wonder what else?

I'm tellin' ya all, that Old Chub is the shit. It is officially my favorite non-hoppy, non-Trappist beer. Get it. Another Maker's or a Scotch... WWGD? Old Chubb is awesome, it has become my nickname at band practice, since it gets me pretty hammered at 8% ABV and delicious, easy to drink cans. I'm ...

Excellent Band - even better live. (plus Max Johnston played in Uncle Tupelo, so they deserve mention on the Farrar board) :D You can blame me for Max being in The Gourds. Right after he moved to Austin (and was subsequently booted from Wilco), I made him go with me to their show at the Hole in the...

Either way, Creston should publish a “best of” list, posthaste! Why not? Tony Gilkyson ( http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=66917294 ) and whoever played guitar on the Star Room Boys record This World Just Won't Leave You Alone and Buddy Miller and those who p...

I just saw the Sadies over the weekend. Surely better guitar players than DBT. (Of course they don't play Gibsons, though)

Well, I don't post here often, but that sounds like good news about cancer. As to the fake weed, I am really pretty angry at the whole "war on weed" in this country. It's really rediculous. Medicinal marijuana is not proven according to scientists - except that everyone who takes has good results. ...
