Chapters
00:00 - Some amazing 6 & 12 string sounds through Leslie


Notes
In a world of modeling amplifiers and boutique pedals that simulate everything, it may have been a minute since you plugged your axe into a real Leslie.
Ain’t nothin’ like it friends…

Well, I’m officially banned from the gear page friends…over the most innocuous little comment…I suppose it’s been building up over there.

The moderators hate me…they are are more sensitive than the gas pedal on a 70 Hemi Cuda…but deep down they know I’m right…

So now what am I gonna do with my life?
I’ve thought of gardening perhaps…

Hello friends, its me, Uncle Larry just checkin in real quick. Just wanted to let you all know about a little gig i am doing tomorrow night if you happen to be bored in Nashville.

My dear old friend Rachel Loy is hosting a variety show at 3rd and Lindsley called “The Shit List” which features a cache of local artists, each getting up and doing a couple tunes with Rachel’s swanky house band….one of these artists being none other than your very own Starship Trooper, Little Tommy from NEO.

The thing starts at 8pm but ill be one of the later performers in the show…come have a beer with your old buddy. Tonight's tones courtesy of a ‘67 jetglo Rick 360-12 plugged straight into a black Pro Reverb.
