Notes
Uncle Larry plays some flat top and gets into some heavy VCB
The fine work that has been performed on this old basket case Gibson SJ was done by Nathan Golliher at Gruhn Guitars in Nashville
He is AMAZING and I highly recommend him for any of your acoustic repair needs
Check out this old track if you wanna hear some vintage Uncle Larry…I was probably 25 when I did this record…it was pretty crude but you can hear all the Larryisms

Notes
I found an old 60’s 10” Oxford speaker out in my garage and decided to throw it in my old 58 Vibrolux…which of course led to all this juvenile behavior….gimme a break guys….im just happy to be alive.
This one goes out to my dear old friend Chris Nelson Gilman

Homeskoolin’ Hump Day Bonus “I’m In The Mood For A Heiny”
Chapters00:00 - Beautiful, soulful playing
Notes
Well, guys….after ALL the love i have given to my trusted brand for years, not a single soul from Latrobe has reached out to help your sad old uncle…no calls, no letters, no emails…crickets….
now, he is SERIOUSLY considering switching to another green bottle…the same one your old Uncle Eddie enjoyed….
Taking you back to 1983 here with one of the greatest guitar solos ever recorded in my humble opinion….Robbie Blunt’s brilliant contribution to the Robert Plant song called “In The Mood”….which also featured some fine drumming by another English bloke that your uncle holds dear to his heart…..
The super sparkly high end on the '60 Strat i bought at an estate sale is being provided by the Vertex Ultra Phonix Special Overdrive pedal that dear Mason was kind enough to send me....delay is Vahlbruch Space Time that Vahlbruch was kind enough to send me....reverb was a Boss RV-6 i bought at a music store going out of business sale...amp is a dead clean '65 Vibrolux Reverb with the factory Jensen 10's that you DEFINITELY want in your old Vibrolux that i bought off the craigslist.
Record is coming Friday folks on the website Bandcamp….Ill post a link as soon as i know it.
