Cozy's drum intro alone, is enough to make this an all time favorite.  I love everything about this tune, including Ronnie's typically odd and fantastic lyrics.  Blackmore's solo just pushes it even further into the unexplored beyond.  Ritchie is most certainly unique and completely underrated as a ...

i can't help but notice the DARK rosewood board on this guitar. i see expensive Les Pauls all the time that have an ashy gray board, and i'm like, why would someone spend $9k on THAT?? gorgeous guitar, Dave   Thanks! My 2014's board has a very similar dark Indian board. I like the rosewood (Brazili...

i've been in New Orleans since 1993. i came on vacation, and, except for living a year in the Mission in SF, i've been here ever since. i've done a ton of weird jobs over the years to support my music habit, and in the process, gotten to know the city pretty well. one thing about NOLA is that, it's...

One thing I always appreciated about this site, is the qualification of melody, among admired guitarists here.  I hear people all the time ripping, purposely.  It sounds like a mess, because it is a mess.  One reason I got into blues music in my 20s, was the phrasing.  In many cases with the real in...

That would be killer.  I'm changing the menus here. One bit at a time.  My new focus is on vegetarian and vegan items.  There's not many options here in New Orleans for those.  My whole idea from jump, has been to sell a veg based menu, where one can order meat dishes a la carte.  

my season of hell seems to be drawing to a close.  i'm loving my new job.  while i was at Tujague's, i did stages at a few other kitchens in town, and i was always offered a job on the spot, but i was skeptical, because of the ongoing labor shortage in my industry.  my thoughts were, am i really a d...

that dude has one of the GOAT right hands in guitar history.  i watched this whole interview when it came out just to get a look at it, up close.

Congrats man!   thanks.  i stuck it out as long as i could at tujague's, but at my age, i need to be learning, or earning, and i really haven't been doing either for almost a year.  my reputation as a venue manager is still very good, but that's only useful if anybody's left in town that remembers ...

has anybody seen the youtube demos of these, yet?  the pickups are absolutely incredible sounding, with a very tight bass and wide open, airy treble.  this guitar absolutely begs to be plugged into a wide open super reverb.
