Oh boy .... after an AMAZING concert by AWB and TOP, my friend Brian ( TOP's webmaster) took me backstage to meet the guys and then I got a guitar signed by the whole band - it's a great keepsake! Never saw so many white guys groovin' and movin' to the music .... SO MUCH FUN!
And to make things even sweeter - I have a big band job tonight on BARI SAX! Like Zach Brown says ....
"Life is good today!"

A very nice evening indeed Dave!!

Say ... how come the picture only shows as a link? What do you do to have it show up in the window here? Hmmmmmmmm

smarty pants!

Nice guitar btw

Right under my name you'll notice TOP Veteran Lee Thornberg - after Mic Gilette's hasty and mysterious exit a few months ago, Lee came back in, and he had a BLAST on stage. He looked like a proud new father at a baseball game! When I shook Roger Smith's (B3 guy) hand ... it went completely around mine! Dude has BIG paws... no wonder he seems to sail all over that Hammond! I told Doc that he was the reason I now own a Bari, and Rocco and I shared a moment talking about Fender basses through the years - it was so much fun.
These cats are regular working stiffs, with families and issues just like the rest of us. Unlike the rest of us, they pack every arena they attend, and still manage to control their egos. They sign anything for anyone for free, and wait after the show for the last fan to leave the table. Pure class act.
And their music STILL kicks SERIOUS a**. It must - the new Korg PA3x has a style dedicated to them, right? (See how I tied it all into a relevant post!)

It's a cheap Squire I bought just for the occasion - I'll never play it .... wouldn't want it to smudge!
Any one have any ideas if spray polyurethane would damage the ink? I'd like to clear-coat it so it lasts till my grandson gets it from me someday!

What a fantastic keepsake there Dave. Not sure what to use to cover it, perhaps some laquer similar to that used on the guitar itself?

Laquer - Yeah, I know that would be ok for the guitar finish, but I wonder about the marker ink? If a chemical reaction made the signatures disappear or run, I'd be devastated! Maybe I'll just build a glass case!
