Guitars, and friends…
So… a goofy photo of me, holding an early ’70’s Yamaha acoustic guitar… The first ‘real’ decent guitar I ever purchased. Loved this ‘ax’ but, it was too big for me. I weighed 115 pounds then… I ended up selling it to my friend from the Tabor youth group, Don Brees.
Move ahead FIFTY years… Don stopped by, while visiting the old stomping grounds. We reconnected a few years ago- one of the few benefits of that Facebook place… And, he brought the guitar with him… Always good to see him. And, as my lovely wife says, it’s nice to know good people, who are making a difference in the world…..
So, here is a video from Youtube. Don has a site/page, and, here he is, playing said guitar….
Webb Tigert Duo
So, we have a couple friends from the Nashville area… They play ukuleles, but, not what you think of, with uke tunes…. They turn a tune into their own. Their band is great. They really make listening fun….
Here’s an example of one of their covers…. Never ‘liked’ the tune, til they spun it upside down …. Go, give a listen to it, and their other work…. Good stuff……

Grass Attack At The Barrymore Theater
Hi there… So, here it is, mid February, and we have our first gig. It was a United Way fund raiser, in Madison, Wisconsin- one of MY favorite cities in the USA- at the Barrymore Theater…. Several bands donated their time and talent… A good afternoon…. So, here are some pix and video snippets of the band, taken by my lovely wife,
What a great group of people/musicians to be with….

A British Tune/Show…
I sooooo apologize, if I have posted this before, but, 1, I love this tune. 2, I love the way we did it. 3, we love the show….
It’s ‘The Detectorists’, a UK show, that is kinda like watching the most beautiful paint in the world, drying… But amazing….
Anyway, here is our take on the theme song…. A beautiful tune…
