Notes
you old veterans out there all know, when you get out on the road and just play play play all day ….your hands just get stronger and stronger.

It’s a cool feeling …”road hands” are a different kind of strength than “studio hands”…a few weeks in I start feeling like I could bust rocks with my left hand

Thanks for watching the progrum friends…im proud of this little community we have built



and if you want a good laugh today, just close your eyes and REALLY try to picture that asshole Gus trying to play this intro on his Cracker Barrel burst in his Chinese buffet blazer…with his 3.99 truck stop sunglasses and Steven Segall haircut hahaaaaa

I’ll give the boy credit, he actually did try for a brief minute to stop making videos about me, but as soon as he took my name out of the title his views tanked even worse than usual….even he was smart enough to figure that out

The thumbnail depicts the first of many bumps and bruises that the new Hellcat will be sustaining over it's next few years of rigorous speed testing on the poor helpless streets of Nashville Tennessee

so, do you guys think that Gus could play what happens starting at around 2:47 of this video?
Alcatrazz - Yngwie Malmsteen

i might have just been a dream, but i think i may have heard Gus play something similar to this one night at a mind blowing Chinese buffet gig in St Lous when he was doing music from his seminal instrumental heavy metal album "Master Of Peepees"

Uncle Larry publicly apologizes for trying to play some western swing last night....

I'm still 6 foot 2, but I’m down to 226 on the scale this morning friends…slow and steady…12 pounds down from my fattest moment about 4-5 months ago

My diet motto:
“All meat and veg, and no carbs except Yuenglings”

Try it friends....it’s slow, but it works and it’s REAL weight loss…not that fly by night temporary weight loss you see on the last night infomercials

Get the burger, but just don’t eat the bun.....you don’t even miss it after a while.

check out this shit awesome shit...

and if any of you kids out there can play the shit that happens starting at about 61 minutes into this video, then you are watching the wrong channel:
