DIY Love #2

My latest abomination - a wine box guitar I made totally out of recycled parts.  The neck and bridge (I think from a Harmony Sovereign) came from a snag on "big trash pick up day" and the box came from a thrift store in Oberlin, OH.  Total investment (counting strings), $8.75.  Plays and sounds great!

Take a look-see at this awesome retro/cowboy themed guitar case made for me by sophiaworksf8!  She custom made it for my wacky Gretsch Americana "Way Out West" guitar with funky vintage styled ranch/rodeo fabric.  Her etsy.com site is HERE so stop by and check out her coolness!

Best of 2008

I just found out I made radio station KKUP's No Pigeonholes "Best of 2008".  I'm certain I don't belong in a list of such amazing & fearless independent artists but there I am.  My deepest thanks to Don Campau for his tireless championing and support for independent music.

Truly worthy is my friend Sid Vad whose record and series of improvised acapella vocals entitled Impression Sunrise is probably one of the most moving and intense listening experiences I've ever had

KKUP is 91.5 FM out of Cupertino, CA

You can check out the list HERE and listen to an archived broadcast of the show (in 2 parts) HERE
