Just Something For July

Boy ! It's almost the end of July...Can you believe it ?

I'm playing at the "General Store", again, this Saturday in Canon City, CO. Had a great time there previously. Going to try out some new material..

Also going to do some add'l chinking & sealing on the logs this weekend... got a few "checks" that need addressing. We're used to it though... Sharon & I had a log home in Rhode Island as well.. it's quite a bit different, with regards to maintenance than conventional construction..Dah !!

Included a couple more shots from the ranch..

Hope all is well with everyone

God Bless

Didn't get the Hagstrom H.J.

Came across a better jazz guitar... ( A Washburn J-3 Jazz model with upgraded pickups from a 1957 Gibson E.S. 175 and a Tune-o-matic bridge that was installed and set-up by "Sweetwater" )...

It's a BIG SWEETIE.. and the sounds are, well "heavenly" comes to mind !!!

It's just the right guitar for Chris Issac's "I Wonder" & Blue Bayou ( Roy Orbison) and my version of "Summertime"... also been messin with " I wish I could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate" ( a 1923 tune by Fats Waller ) & Gerry & The Pacemakers " Ferry Across the Mersey"(s.p.?)and maybe " Down Mexico Way" ( Chris Issac's verson).... I'm Excited...

Thought I'd throw in a couple more photos from around the ranch too..

Love All Who Venture Here...
