Soul Shine Gov't Mule

I haven't checked in here in a while.....what an amazing job!!

In the last 2 weeks I got a Marshall JCM900 and a Les Paul Standard Traditional Plus. I traded a Les Paul Special for the Marshall and sold a Roccaforte Custom 18 combo for the LP Standard. Now I finally have my LP and Marshall.....I'm good!

Depending on which pedal board I'm using, its either a Fuchs Plush Pure Gain or an Xotic EP Booster. Depending on the amp, I'm running the EP Booster all the time and using the Pure Gain as a lead boost.

What an awesome story!!!!!! That made me smile out loud, thank you for sharing. :-) What an inspiration. And, BTW, Hotel California has a pretty special place in my musical history too......not quite as drastic as yours, but that record means a lot to me also.

Got a couple of these in the fridge right now. Great beer!

In about '72/'73, when I was about 3 or so, our Dad bought a "Best of the '50s" 8 track tape and played it non-stop. I very distinctly remember how the solo on Buddy Knox's "Party Doll" made me feel. I knew it was the guitar, and even tho I know nothing about them, I knew I wanted to play one...

:-) Point of Entry is my favorite Priest. Not a stinker on the whole record. "Heading Out to the Highway", "Turning Circles", & "Don't Go" are faves.....

Lately: Love Battery: Between the Eyes Screaming Trees: Uncle Anesthesia Eddie Vedder: Soundtrack for Into the Wild Hater: 2nd David Grissom: all three solo records + Joe Ely's Live At Liberty Lunch Judas Priest: Point of Entry Gov't Mule: Deepest End and Life Before Insanity...

My Roccaforte Custom 18 combo in red sparkle: My 60s reissue Strat and Prosonic Looking out of the drivers seat down the track. The car is my Dad's '64 Pontiac Tempest. Its got a 468 Pontiac and Turbo 400 trans. It'll go 11.80s all day long on DOT tires and mufflers...

PRS would be my McCarty and non-PRS would be either my 60's reissue Strat or my Muddy Waters sig Tele, I'd be good with either.

In no particular order: Stella Artois Blue Moon Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat Red Hook Wit Stevens Point Belgian White Stevens Point Horizon Wheat Marshall Sundown Wheat - this is a local Tulsa beer that is excellent

I got my first PRS a couple of weeks ago, a McCarty. I'd love to get a DGT sometime, but for now, the McCarty is working great for me.

Holy moly........... :shock: :shock: Beautiful!!!
