Steve Haynie

Graphic finishes were not being done by anyone else at the time, or at least not until Hamer did it. Some people want to buy the nostalgia, but when you get down to it the guitar underneath the paint is what matters. There is one graphic Special out there that was given away as a prize in a British magazine. The image of it has stuck in my head nearly 45 years, so it would be tempting to buy it should it ever come up for sale. However, it may have been made at a time when when the necks were thinner or more narrow at the nut. It would be awful to spend the big bucks on a guitar that has the wrong specs for what feels comfortable to me.

Your finish will be affected. There will have to be wood inlaid/overlayed to close the area that was routed for weight relief. You will pay for that and a refinish. If you love the neck, just have it popped out have a new body made. It will require the same refinish, but possibly require less hours of work.

Are those prices for the purpose of starting negotiations?

According to this you saw Derek Sharp. https://rockcelebrities.net/phil-x-missed-triumph-shows-todd-kerns-explains-why-he-was-replaced/

Is Anikka hitting a crash cymbal backhanded at the early part of Tom Sawyer and also in Subdivisions?

What show was that, and did Steve Morse play on every song?

Holy smokes! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! Aimee Mann coming out for Time Stand Still is cool! Bird coops instead of amps is funny.

There are a lot of women buying their own concert tickets to see those bands from 40 years ago. I think they really like(d) the music.

My pocketknives do not get lost when they are cheap. Nicer ones seem to be the ones that get lost. A few years ago there were bags of picks on eBay sold by someone closing down a music store. They have the store name on them. Big deal. So, there are a few picks in the guitar cases and bags nearly full. There ought to be plenty of picks in each guitar case, but my trait of being cheap keeps that from happening. With a gross of cheap picks there ought to be no worries about them getting lost or wearing out.

Gil Moore does not look 73, but he is.

I just saw Triumph with April Wine in Atlanta. Rik Emmett and Gil Moore are at every show playing the whole time. Brian Greenway is the old timers in April Wine with a history going back to 1976. He was part of the classic lineup. I like April Wine, and have three or four of their albums. I like, and recommend, Starz.

My friends could not figure out why I would go see All Them Witches last year. The band is different from anything else we listen to. I like this new song.
