This NAMM Show beauty might be on the block soon. Interested parties should email me.

AWESOME! An over-exposed photo of the Blind River" taken through the open window of JeffR's state vehicle. (For those of you that have heard (or read) thecajunboy mention "Pullin' yo drunk ass out da Blind Rivah," this would be the place he's referring to).

No. Marguerite Perrin was not there, thank God.

For those of you who have no idea what he's talking about (which would be most of you, I'd imagine), this is the Barataria Swamp. We have swamp land here in New Jersey, but it ain't quite the same... The Barataria Swamp is the home of some of the most beautiful sights you will ever see, and conversely, it is populated by some of the nastiest insects on Earth: spiders the size of your hand, mosquiteos with air traffic controllers and crickets that could knock over your beer can. It was miserably hot and humid and I was bitching about it the whole time, but the colder it gets here, the more I miss it. I had the time of my life with two of my very best friends - "Louisiana Style."

From the forthcoming FAQ page: Q: How do I post images? A: Several ways: If the image is hosted somewhere in Cyberspace Hit the "IMG" button above the text box, paste in the FULL PATH to the image, and hit the "IMG" button again (or "Close Tags"). In this example, your image will appear within your typed message. You will see something that looks like this: [img=http://yourdomain.com/yourimage.jpg] If the image is on your computer, you may upload the image to your post by hitting the “Browse…” button in the File Attachments section below the posting text window. Image file uploads are limited to a maximum of 250k in size. In this example, your image will appear below your typed text. This third example is friendlier to those without a high speed Internet connection, and is a variation of example 1. In this example, you paste the full path to the image into the body of your post without hitting the IMG button. This will provide the viewers with a link to the image. The images can be as large as you like, you can list as many as you want, and dial up users won't crash when they open the thread. This also gives those interested the option to click on the link to view the image, or continue to browse the thread without waiting for the images to load.

Well, I'll have to firmly side with the those that cited "friendship." That along with perks and material objects: Poe gave me a set of Kinman Strat pickups once to thank me for selling his T-62s on ebaY. MC Chris sent some smut. BCR Greg has given me many t-shirts, caps, sweatshirts, pick guards, etc. Oh, and he gave me the opportunity to play in front of real live people, which I had never done before. I still don't know if they have forgiven him for that. StevieC has given me great advice. Advice for which he usually charges a good deal of money. thecajunboy gave me a great dinner and a place to stay when I was in Louisiana. JeffR gave me the opportunity to photograph the James Burton Guitar Festival (the photgraphs can be seen in this month's Vintage Guitar Magazine), and key parts of south Louisiana. It was also at that time that I (along with JeffR, Cajun, and Poe) had lunch with Tab Benoit, hung out at his home, drank his moonshine and played his guitars. Turdus (he wil always be Turdus to me) gave me a Wilkinson-trem-bridge-intonation-adjusting-tool-thingie. "Things" are meaningless, but as I look at what I listed above, they all look like friendship to me... Edited to fix crappy spelling and to add that I knew I'd forget something important, and I did. Phoenix sent me the Seth Lovers out of his Newport, "just because he felt like it" and a load of his homemade hot sauce to boot!

...and it's in A LOT better shape than mine was! Check it out. Good luck with yours.

Two different shirts in his pix, fellas...as strange as it may seem...

You mean, you couldn't get Nik Huber to make you an acoustic?

Didn't have the nerve? You probably have 100 pounds on him. What was he gonna do? Give you a pile driver? I bet you dollars to donuts he couldn't wait for someone to notice his uberdollar timepiece.

"Hello, Police? Yea, some sonofabitch just stole my wallet. Yes, just now. I cancelled the credit cards, but my Cream tickets were in there! They were decent seats, too: Section 336, Row L, Seat #1. Oh? You'll wait at the entrance to see who has that ticket and then get them to let me in? GREAT!"

People pay to see Clapton sing like they pay to watch Billy Joel drive (or play guitar, for that matter*). *Hamer content satisfied.

It was all of the above, as well as a Firebird I, although I think he used the Paul the least. Every time you hear "Crossroads" on the radio (did Cream record any other songs, Daddy?), you're hearing that 335. That's part of the reason that "Blackie" selling for all of that dough annoyed me. The point is that the Gibson/Marshall sound is THE Cream sound. Don't try to tell me (as Jack Bruce said), that they "tried to use Gibsons through a Marshall, but it didn't work." Sure it didn't work....for Fender, having layed out all of that endorsement dough! It must not have worked on all of the albums and concerts from the '60s that Cream did, I suppose. Clapton moved on to Fenders. Fine. I moved on as well. No new Cream for me. "Fresh Cream," on the other hand...
