Notes
Larry checks in on a fine Tuesday morning before a session…sporting Charlie Judge’s old 64 Jag, waxing rhapsodic about how no young man on this planet could ever FULLY appreciate his youth …at least as much as he should, because sadly we are just not wired that way.

Thumbnail photo of circa 1993 Uncle Larry taken by Michele McCord….we used to play local gigs and record together when we were kids …she's a cherished old friend and i absolutely love her to pieces.

Thanks again to Bob Wootton for offering up the gear we needed to get through the Abbey Road gig ...even though i didn't personally participate....i wish i could have got to meet him

Sidenote for all you tube amp nerds....i FINALLY located that no bullshit no excuses 68 100 watt Plexi Super Bass that my new friend and fellow Clevelander Neil Giraldo was looking for....

Lord Jesus that was NOT easy friends...holy shit

Finding a 67-68 (the well known "magic years") Marshall that did NOT suffer the rampant butchery of the 80's has always been challenging..but now it's a small miracle to find one.

Notes
Uncle Larry gets deep into the weeds about quantum physics and Brazilian rosewood whilst plunking on a vintage Dean Z with the very rare Braziliaburst burst finish….

What if you brought a guitar with a Brazilian rosewood board and a Braziliaburst finish to one of those places where you get a Brazilian wax….
I mean, seriously just think about it
