The Computer Generation I spoke with a friend and he mentioned the marvels of computer aided guitar repair and building. I prefer my food and music handmade. CAD cannot put the feel into an instrument. CAD doesn't know you or me. CAD creates no beauty, just redundancy. How do you measure love? Every musical instrument has a life of its own. In the hands of a player who appreciates quality, the instrument can be a tool to create beauty. Using broad sweeping strokes like a paint brush or minute shavings as with a chisel or plane, a guitarist can make his soul visible and audible to the universe. I treat every instrument with this in mind. Thanks for coming to the site and thanks for the opportunity to say this ..... PS: If you pick up an instrument and it does not speak to you, please put it down. Either you are not listening or it is not yours.
This young man with the old guitar is Danny Radar. Danny is considered Country Music royalty as he is a 3rd generation Country Cat. Danny is currently playing with Gretchen Wilson and was recently with Leanne Rhimes. He has just endorsed the Shadow Nanoflex system. I endorse him. You have heard Danny somewhere. He is also a major studio musician.	Keith Horne walks in with a couple of cases. In one is a gift from Teddy Gentry of band "Alabama". This is the black MusicMan that Terry played when the group was winning every award and dominating the charts. The second is a custom MusicMan made for Keith Horne. Keith is actually smiling because I am buying lunch.
A gentleman walks in with a nice old Harmony guitar and asks me some questions on how to restore it. We talked and he says, "Didn't you used to write for Famous music?". My life has changed because of that simple statement. All good questions should do that. How much am I willing to do with the change is still in the works, but it looks promising. He is the latest member of the Ed Beaver Guitar Owners club, with all the perks thereof..(One of which is instant recognition that the owner is a player and not a name collector.). Jim has just finished an album "Can You Still Rock" (good one too!).	Jim Pasquale with the Original Flares Jim is the guitar player on the left. That is an original Peavey electric in his hands. Do check out his site!
George Marinelli Margaret and I went to see Bonnie Raitt at the Grand Ol' Opry. She had this cool guitar player in her band that she kept raving about. A couple of months later, he walks into the shop with an Epiphone that needed some help. He turns out to be one of the nicest and friendliest people I have met in Nashville. He has got it down! Check his site out. http://www.georgemarinelli.com/
Craig Wallace is the type of artist I have always wanted to hang with. He has played this guitar for over 25 years. He has done it well. He named this guitar Pinky. For some reason, most of the people who own my guitars name them. I suspect it is because they each have their own personality. His CD is available at http://www.dallasbluesguitar.com. Don't look for corporate marketing or heavy distribution deals. Craig has a very low BS tolerance. Suits me just fine.
On the other hand, I am not so serious as to miss the silliness that is the reality of life on this planet. Big cars, silicone body parts, media defining art, and now, this. Is there no end to the insanity? Not on this website. This is not the governor of California.
