In the late 70s and early 80s, my student Cindy traveled around interviewing and photographing country music legends. I love hearing the stories she has to tell about it. The other day she brought me this photograph and I had to share! Here she is with Willie Nelson circa 1982.

The Telecaster has long been my favorite guitar. I love the no nonsense simplicity and the raw, beautiful tone. They can rock, they can serenade, they can do it all.

My student Andy handcrafted the most amazingly well made sick monkey I’ve ever seen and gifted it to Winnie. What an awesome gift! And what a spoiled dog.

New Amp day! This little tweed fella is a Pittman Amps Crossroads. A take on the Fender 5f1 champ circuit. Nostalgic warm fuzzy tones in a tiny box, just in time to warm me during the cool season. Thanks

Do you like Halloween? Do you like Jazz? Dont we all? Check out Zach Dixon’s album tonight for extra spooky vibes!

Zach is a fellow former student of my own musical mentor, Bill Crahan. He’s an excellent guitar player, but the saxophone is his home base. And man, can he shred it! He recently got his MM in Boston, and has just moved back to the KC area. Have a listen and hit him up if you need a sax man.
