Notes
Uncle Larry stops in to his favorite pedal store in Nashville…Guitar Effects Pedals Dot Com…after a day of sessioneering at Auerbach’s place finishing up dubs on new Black Keys record that I am very excited about

I thought that the pedal shop would be a lovely place to announce the winner(s) of the Uncle Larry impersonation contest

Thanks to all that participated…some gave all

If someone would be kind enough to post links to all four winners I win pin them for all to see…and then i would be happy

i also ask that the four winners please email me their mailing addresses at tombukovac@gmail.com

I also want to tell you guys that that amazing young rock band from Bloomington that i produced a while back called Cliffs, is playing a gig at the Basement here in Nashville on Dec 18th.

Myselfeth and dearest Jeddeth Hugheseth are gonna do a quick little opener set

Please come down and show some support for these talented young lads…they are a great band and amazing young dudes
