Have I ever told you guys about this nimrod David Ferrera, who calls himself “Carlos Who”? I think I did but I can’t remember…anyway here he is…
• Dec. 30 Tom Bukovac Fake Nice Guy #music #...

He constantly sends group emails to myself, Tim Pierce, Pete Thorn, Rhett Shull and a bunch of other guitar players talking about how he can outplay all of us…and he always wants to “challenge” us all to some kind of ridiculous “guitar duel”….i swear i am not making this shit up.

He already admitted to us all that he is a few sandwiches short of a picnic in the head, and when he has these “flare ups” he gets very combative …

David…honey, take a fuckin pill and chill the fuck out ferchrissakes…no one is out to get you …calm the fuck down man

Ann Wilson - Dream On (Live)

Indeed it was…there was about a year period where that band could play with ANYBODY…but then of course the “great disillusion” set in, fueled by lack of corporate funding , and it all went to hell in a handbasket…but I still have very fond memories of being in a band that was literally tighter than a gnat’s ass..good times

Ann’s vocal on this absolutely live recording is fucking transcendant

For your amusement, here's an actual comment i got on this channel a couple days ago from a YouTuber called "620photo" after i posted a free video of me playing my 36 ES-150 with that glorious woody sounding Chuck Christian pickup.

"I used to get excited for these long videos. Where I knew he was gonna play for five or six minutes and talk for 20. Personally, I don't come here to hear him play, even though he is amazing. I come here for his great words of wisdom and great stories. I got excited to see a 25 minute video just to find out it's 15 minutes of playing jazz crap"

welcome to my world friends....i mean, seriously...how do you even respond to something in this "IQ range"?

well... anyway...it is true that 99% of the people that watch this channel are super cool...this fella is clearly a "one percenter"...

so, if you are indeed learning/growing/or just plain being entertained by all the bizarre things that take place on this channel, you might consider placing a little gratuity in the corporate tip jar....all proceeds go directly to Tom Bukovac...(not Uncle Larry)
