Location: NJ | The question was posed to me (by Hizzoner), but I don't know the answer:
Anyone have any info on the guitar I'm playing here?:
I know it was one of Master Keller's.
Amy was playing it before I got pulled up there
(I'm sorry Amy, . . I think this is like the SECOND time I've "squeezed" you off the stage . . . we need to fix that next year!).
Anyway, I was in the process of installing the really nifty clip-on condensor mic that Master Templeman brought for my SlotHead (which sounded GREAT, btw!), but it was quicker/easier to jump on this (what appears to be) Elite s/b with a custom top.
Nice lil' Guitar!! Very comfy!
I could go for something like this for gigs!
Any info? |

I seem to remember Amy referring to it as "hers". |

". . That guitar you were playing is currently my main stage acoustic. It's a
1868 top and bowl with a flame maple laminated top, bass side epaulets only and a stock 1868T maple neck. I cobbled it together as a test mule for the OP-PRO so I could do some field testing without tearing apart my old stage guitar, which was an 1868-BTA (blue tamo ash).
FYI: Amy plays an Adamas W597MEWP or a 1990 Collectors or Hamer Artist Custom on stage . . ." |

Location: NJ | Y'know, looking at this pic again suddenly reminded me of something that warrants a statement:
AL is a KILLER guitar player!!!
Of course, I've seen him throw out several very tasty licks (especially on electric) at these Jams. But last Friday nite, back at hotel we were sitting around trading songs, and I'd just finished a rather lame version of some Who song for Master Slipkid (was it WhoAreYou?), when at the end, Al just LAUNCHES into this BRILLIANT acoustic passage from the "Overture" from "Tommy".
He just blew me AWAY!! He absolutely NAILED it!!!
A Tip'O the Beret to Master Pepiak! Well Done!!

sure some lives were lost when I strap on a guitar. I just hope the Genevoa convention dosen't have a clause for it.
Happy and me should never be in the same sentence. |

Much like Tiggers, . . . IT'S the only one.

Location: Upper Left USA | Brad,
Kissing up to Al will not result in better serial numbers on anything ordered. Tony told me this.
It is best to treat Al with some disdain so that he will continue to sell items to us below market price. A humble Salesman is an affordable Salesman!
Moody, on the other hand, needs to be treated with full respect. He knows too much about all of us! |

LOS ANGELES — Paul Winchell, a ventriloquist, inventor and children's TV show host best known for creating the lispy voice of Winnie the Pooh's animated friend Tigger, has died. He was 82. |

He was a very talented and (from what I understand) somewhat troubled individual. May He Rest in Peace. |

Location: Tennessee | I grew up watching Winchell/Mahoney ... that show was great. Long live Knucklehead Smith! Paul Winchell was also the voice of the "scrubbing bubbles" in the commercials.
More interesting, Winchell was a cardiologist and invented the first artificial heart.

| Almost had Al set me up with an Adamas that matched my Adamas 1 #7 color w/cutaway and five strings earlier this year, but I opted for a custom order Hamer 8 string bass. (should be getting this within a week or so) I have this fantastic Elite 5 string bass now, w/quited maple top that was built as a one-of. To be honest it sounds so good I have lost the desire to own an Adamas Bass. But after seeing the one in that photo it has me a-thinkin again!
