Notes
Uncle Larry covers some events of the day and brings back a painful memory that still haunts Clevelanders to this day....can you imagine living with the fact that YOU are the guy who is associated with an event known by any sports fan in America simply as "The Fumble"....

Even Scott Norwood feels sorry for the poor guy....

The truth is that Earnest Byner's career game that day was the only reason that his team was even in the position of potentially winning that game in the first place...but nobody remembers that part.

...and dig this backline friends…damn...

Notes
Well friends, the first thing old Larry did after he finally got all his beat up old gear into the new Homeskoolin World Headquarters studio was put together a new work bench that he ordered off the Amazon…

God…I am absolutely TERRIBLE at putting together unassembled furniture and shit like that….but i l finally got it.

It’s nice to have a place to work on my shitty old guitars again.
they are all a mess since my whole life has been completely uprooted….but that’s all about to change .

I just strung up and set up my trusty old 58 burst so I have at least one guitar that is feeling real good….cuz tomorrow it’s right back into the session fire…working with a very picky producer with high expectations.

The move is basically finally over praise the Sweet Baby Jesus….it’s time to start playing guitar again and thinking about music instead of where that coffee table is gonna go…

Thanks for hangin with me dear Homeskoolers

Notes
Uncle Larry does a bit of guitarcheology on the eve of America’s birthday…

Just throwing up a Hail Mary here that someone out there might happen to recognize the young fella in the black and white photo holding what I affectionately refer to as the “Mailbox Letter Burst” (serial number 8 6785)

This video also shows Larry Lee, the fella who I believe might be the original owner of my 58 Gibson EMS-1235, (the 50’s doublenecks oddly did not have serial numbers)…and Darrell Ellis, the fella that might be the original owner of my 57 Les Paul Standard Goldtop (serial number 7 3293)

Happy 4th my dear friends…and like I say every year, don’t blow your fingers off ferchrissakes

Notes
Uncle Larry restrings his trusty old 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard whilst proudly displaying what 55 years (well 39 actively) of drinking ice cold beer will inevitably do to a man’s belly.

...and for your curiosity, here’s this bloke called Jesse Wells that i mentioned...the one that some posh internet bird made a video about trying to cancel....what the fuck ever...

a lot of folks don’t like his style or his voice…you may not either, i totally get it.
personally, i think he’s cool.
even if you hate it, you gotta admit the boy has a way with words.
