In my middle age I can't sleep anymore [been waking up at 4 am lately]. At least I have these photos to look forward to on Wed mornings. Nice shot of the left hand in this shot; get a load of that five-inch-long ring finger!

I really like this shot Donnah. Shows how complete concentration can transform the common man from ordinary to genuis. That cat had some lllooonnnggg fingers. No wonder he could make magic on a guitar neck. My husband attempts to play guitar but he has short, stubby fingers. He is also left handed but plays right handed. That is the only thing that is remotely like the master! Thanks again Donnah, you rock. I can now make the rest of the week. Instead of TGIF, I survive on the premise of TGIW! Wail on, Brother! Oh yea csason, isn't that Ollie, Ollie Oxen Free? Never heard Auction free.

I'm listening to The ABB "At the Ludlow Garage" as I'm viewing this pic. I've finally figured out Duane was singing "You got dimples on your jaw" instead of "You've got dimples on your dog" (I love the clarity in a CD) Wail on, indeed!

Duane takes a solo on the Conn Strobotuner, friend to all instrumentalists and orchestras everywhere.

Wail on!

I think you're right, Richard. It's funny when I look up the pics of it, "vintage" is anything pre-1980. Imagine that.

Thanks a lot Willard. For 30 years I wondered why anyone would have dimples on their door.

i'm liking the book so far. nice re-writes of all the old sources and stories. he's got talent, that one.

i remember tuning my tuba to a conn strobotuner back in 75-76 in jr. high.

as for vintage being pre-80, i try to make 82 the cut off mark on my git-fiddles and 84-86 for my boss stompboxes.
