Here's where I've been playing every Sunday for several weeks now. It's a nice restaurant with a big deck out back where we play. There's a beautiful view of Lake Ponemah behind us (and a beautiful car, which is not mine). The waitresses all all hot babes, but no pics of them - sorry.

Here I am playing my Blue Floral Telecaster:

I'm diggin' the pontoon boat myself.

And about the lack of waitress pics.
Please think about doin' something to correct this grievious error.

We've something similar this weekend.

Outdoor deck/docks on the largest lake in NJ.

We've been trying t'get a foot in the door of this place for a couple years, and the guy FINALLY calls us out-of-the-blue & books us . . . the Sunday afternoon of LaborDay weekend :rolleyes:

Hopefully, we won't get rained-out . . .

IMHO... it's a '55 or '56. The '57 has more fin like tail lights.

The pick-up with the tool box is more my style, but the '56 is a beaut. I grew up when these things were everyday wheels. Some of my friends had this very model. I even had one myself, a '56 Bel Air 2-door hardtop that I bought for $100 just for the engine, then junked the remainder the car. Oh, sorry. Nice location for a gig for sure.

The pickup with the toolbox belongs to the drummer. A very nice Dodge Ram truck.

I started out playing my Ovation for this gig, and the OP24+ preamp has officially died. I plugged 'er in and... silence. Tried it again today at home... same thing.

So, now what good is a thin crust Celebrity with no working electronics??? I don't need to tell YOU guys what I think about that guitar acoustically :rolleyes:

Looks like a great venue. If that was an Ovation - the picture would be a good calendar candidate.

"I get off on 57 Chevy's/I get off on screamin' guitars..."

My {name of large computer company} FE (who gets paid to not do any work because I don't trust him) bought a "tritoon" with a 250HP outboard on it. WTF is *that* all about? :eek: If you want to go fast, man, get a Cigarette. ;)
