Musings

These are fascinating records, I can’t begin to imagine the record cutting craft (and nerves/balls of steel) it took to cut multiple parallel/concentric grooves on one side of a record.

You will rarely hear me wax poetic about 1970s rock music. But when I lean in that direction, I almost always put on Exile on Main Street by the Rolling Stones.

I photographed his very cool customized 1960s Mosrite guitar for the Mosrite book. The jury is still out trying to determine who and what and where the modifications were done to this guitar…

Finally got a bunch of framed autographed albums on the wall. All of the autographs were obtained personally by me, and of course my mind wandered all evening.

I’m looking for the British husband and wife with the superior vintage clothing collection who contacted me a couple years ago about these incredible 1940s hillbilly-themed novelty-print side-button denim pants.

Michael Graves is a Grammy-winning audio restoration expert. I brought him two Merle Travis acetates that I got at Cliffie Stone’s garage sale thirty-plus years ago for restoration and preservation.

In case you’re trying to figure out why we invaded Venezuela (which is unconstitutional, as well as directly against the laws of the UN), here it is.

Sad to report that we lost another great one at the turn of the new year: legendary Sun rockabilly Hayden Thompson.

It was a heckuva time last night in Long Beach! A bunch of us L.A. scenesters rang in the new year at the beautiful old Scottish Rite Cathedral.

I got these at the garage sale from a guy who said that he obtained them from Mike Campbell’s house in North Hollywood where he had a recording studio.
