Notes
Uncle Larry wanted to make this video as a sincere heartfelt thank you to Mike Matthews and Kevin Jolly at Electro-Harmonix.

My love affair with EHX pedals is well documented…i have said many times before that in the end, there is really no arguing the fact that since the early 70’s EHX has absolutely dominated the pedal industry much the same way D’Addario has dominated the string industry

without a doubt the most innovative, the most ground-breaking, and the most copied company in the vast totally over-saturated cosmos of pedals.

I fondly remember about 25 years ago I bought a large lifelong collection of about 150 super rare vintage EHX pedals from a recording engineer friend of mine named Steve Bishir …all the rarest coolest old shit …stuff you NEVER see…there was even a rack mount EHX delay in that stash that I have never seen before or since …great gear, not always the most well made or reliable, but ALWAYS amazing sounding.

After that we have an old video of a much younger thinner me that I found in the archives from January of 2023 of a recording session at Vince Gill’s studio.

Working on a track called “Pink Cadillac” that actually just got released about 3 months ago (sometimes this shit takes a while friends hahaa).

You can hear the sounds of Vince, Jedd Hughes, Paul Franklin and engineer Justin Niebank in the background….always a blast to work with those guys , those sessions are always SO MUCH fun.
Vince knows how to throw a damn good party.

The guitar I am using is a beautiful 1961 Gretsch 6120 that Vince actually ended up gifting to me about a year ago because he’s a sweetheart and because he remembered how much I loved that guitar

That boy is truly one of a kind friends

Here’s the finished version of that song for ya

I hope you do indeed enjoy this little hodge podge of stuff today my dear Homeskoolers
