  1. The plot thickens. Here's a message from the seller on the FB post: "I now live in cebu philippines. I am retired and broughr my babies here where I could finally have time to play them. Infortunitaly I was recently diagnosed with a rare (and very unlucky) form of skin cancer on my left thumb. I am waiting to see if I will be able to play like I used to. Sorry for too much info. I will send pics maybe tommorrow. I need someone to take and post them. Getting old is not fun. "
  2. That PRS is Freden's holy grail guitar, if I'm not mistaken. I'll have to notify him of its availability so close to home.
  3. If it helps, I own one of his castoff Hamers from 10 years or so ago. That will be seeing some action in the next few weeks. Jonathan, any pics of your Vox guitars? I'm intrigued, mostly because there's one available on my local FB marketplace that's tempting me, and it's listed at a decent price. It's a different model, the Bobcat, but tempting nonetheless.
  4. This song has been in regular rotation at the 4-3-2-1 for at least 5 years. It's a fun one.
  5. I never play one guitar exclusively. I may have one that I favor for a month or two. And I've been playing more bass than guitar over the last year, for sure. That said, I typically only change strings when one string breaks and they've been on the guitar > 1 year (I will replace an individual broken string if one gets broken at a party). Or, if a guitar hasn't made it out the case in > 2 years and I want it played at a party, I may restring it. I used to used Elixirs most of the time, but I've now also got a stash of D'Addario strings that I will be using. Stringing is more of a wintertime activity for me, since I tend to have more free time and more indoor time. I'll likely change some strings later this month, just to rotate a few guitars that haven't seen action recently.
  6. I bought two of these when hamerhead did. They're very useful. They're in the 4-3-2-1 Club now, and are used there for listening to songs that are being worked on. I've also used them outside for a full bluegrass band, and they sound great for that, with all the instruments miked. I'm glad I bought them.
  7. I just finished shoveling. We didn't get nearly the snowfall we could have, yay! The storm drifted south. The basement is always cool in the winter, but warms up with the amps and people. Can't wait to rock out tonight! And here's a final photo from years past. 2018, I think. There's a little of 4-3-2-1 magic fairy dust scattered around in this photo.
  8. Here’s a reminder of tomorrow’s festivities. Hope to see a few of you tomorrow. I’m working on green chicken chili today, and of course wieners and queso dip are mandated by the 4-3-2-1 Club by-laws. Any time after 4:00 is okay to arrive. I’m anticipating wieners to be pulled off the grill before 6:30. There are a few guests that need to leave early, so we’ll likely get the music started early, around 6ish. Another reminder: I don’t purchase alcohol any longer, but you’re more than willing to bring a beverage of choice. I’ll have sparkling water and lemon-lime juice and a small selection of NA beer. And right on schedule, we're supposed to get up to 6" of snow before tomorrow morning.
  9. Here's a more recent photo, from 2019's Frozen Jam. Must have been a cold one. I put on some hair/
  10. I don't see a lot of shows these days, although I do go out occasionally to watch friends play in nightclubs The only two notable ones that spring to mind are: Louden Wainwright III - solo acoustic Greta Van Fleet The Louden show was when belgian was visiting in April, and was very entertaining, even though he's not exactly in my wheelhouse. I was offered a ticket to the Greta Van Fleet show by a friend, and jumped at the chance, even though arena shows aren't my favorite. They delivered, but when we left, we both thought the 2 hour plus show was a "little boring." It was basically kind of plodding mid-tempo rockers with the same stage formula featuring vocal histrionics (excellent vocal histrionics, btw) along with endless guitar solos. Both are definitely adequate at the job, but 2+ hours of sameness = boring, in our book. They didn't play many of their older, more well known songs, which tend to be more up-tempo. They could have used more up-tempo songs. Think I'll put on one of their albums.
  11. I've got some shells I could let go. Not sure there's enough for full set of crowns, though. 😉
