oh...and in case you haven't seen him before, here's that tool that stalks me...
Does Tom Bukovac Have A Stalker? ‎⁨@501cho...

a beginner level guitar player from St Louis named Gus Penny...
he has literally devoted his ENTIRE LIFE to making hate videos about me....
it's pretty fuggin' weird friends, i ain't gonna lie

oh my God this video had me CRYING

if you're ever at a Chinese Buffet in the St Louis area, check out his little one chord white blues trio called "Blues In Babylon"

Gus is one of the best "croakers" on earth...it's like a brand new type of "vocalization" that he developed himself...it has been known to make any species of frog jealous

355+355=710…just some simple math for ya here on a lovely Friday afternoon friends

Hope all you guys are doing great out there…
The opening bit of this vid is just a shameless little rave-up on a lovely old ‘59 Silvertone branded Danelecto U-2 that was formerly owned by my old buddy, the great Rick Vito …

and then we move on to some A/B comparisons between two sweet old watermelon red 59 factory mono Gibson ES-355s with PAFs…the one I just bought has double whites , I’m actually not sure what the one I have had for a while has

These guitars are very close in serial number in case you were wondering
A 31613
A 31507

Totally unrelated..I like this gal…she’s got just the right amount of attitude, and skill to back it up …I watch her videos even though a can’t cook for shit
