Homeskoolin’ Bonus “The Luxe Collective”

Chapters
00:00 - Looking for a house


Notes
Overall, Uncle Larry is a very content soul. He has worked very hard, and has been very fortunate to achieve pretty much everything he ever set out to do in this life.

He is one of those guys that is difficult to buy gifts for, because he seemingly already has everything he wants.

However, there is ONE THING, and ONE THING ONLY that he feels like he is missing in this life. A house with a pool.

Larry literally doesn’t even know how to swim, and personally speaking, he cares very little about pools. However, he has two young boys that LOVE to swim.

And Lord knows that trying to kill a 120 degree saturday in nashville with 2 young boys and no pool TOTALLY SUCKS BALLS.

I clearly understand that the Homeskoolin channel was originally packaged as a free guitar lesson channel…but over the years we have certainly branched out to a VAST ARRAY of non music related subjects. And today’s subject?

If anyone out there is looking for literally the best realtor in Nashville, well here she is. I have been through soooo many realtors in my life…when i found Lisa years ago the search was immediately over. She is the COOLEST…absolutely no bullshit, gets the job done right.

Please try her, you will not regret it

Chapters

08:13 - Break & discussion
13:40 - The Band - The Weight rehearsal


Notes
Uncle Larry shares a few rehearsal memories from a super fun gig that happened in San Francisco over the last few days.

He got to see some old friends and play some good old rock and roll with some of his bosses, past and present.... and had an absolutely lovely time.

(and now, Tom Bukovac takes over speaking)

These clips taken from the Jimmy Irsay exhibit that happened on 12/10/22, in San Francisco CA, starring:
Ann Wilson, Little Johnny Fogerty, Stephen Stills, Buddy Guy, Kenny Aronoff, Kenny Wayne, Ebo, Tony Lucido, Mike Mills, Mike Wanchic, Danny Nucci, Stephen Barber, Jeffrey Gorman, Carmella Ramsey, Edgerrin James and others.

Special thank you to Paul Moak for letting me borrow his amazing sounding resonator guitar.
If anyone out there has one EXACTLY like this one for sale i will buy it.

Tony Lucido is filmed here playing the famed Alembic fretless bass that John Mcvie used on this little Fleetwood Mac album you may have heard called "Rumours". The fretboard is shiny aluminum....pretty cool bass. Jimmy bought it for a song.

Bottom line…let me say once again...i am SO thankful and grateful for all the cool places this instrument that i have worked sooooooooo hard at in this life has taken me....i will NEVER take it for granted. The magic equation that applies to basically everything in life....it's 99% drive...1%t talent.
Work ethic trumps EVERYTHING.


and way more importantly than all this, i want to say goodbye to a dear friend....Zak Godwin II.

see you down the road bro bro
