i give up... after 35 years if it hasn't changed by now it aint never gonna.. and if nobody hears ny shit it aint gonna change now

fact is .the shit ive heard where when doin gigs where it werenrt my soundman, where i heard later that the other guitariosts 'paid off ' the board to turn me down in the mix, or a million other things like that.. thing is, the stuff i posted aint nearly me when im shinin.. i remember one gig i had three guitars (well, a doubleneck and another) goin at once so i could play all of electric ladyland correctly and a "bud" from another HUGE band was blown away by it..when he heard this..(not so much of a buddy if i got no breaks after!) and turns out only the folks at the front of the stage heard what i was doin cuz the soundman turned off my mike on my marshalls.. he left the monitors OK so i had no idea  wuzzup...
and its still goin on.. coupled with no action on the net after a couple years.. and six months on this blog...
i give up......................

Change of pace..

music an collecting boots isnt the only things i do...
Couldn't find any icons i liked, so i made my own...

Here's a pretty savage deep purple...
gone is the legitimate intimacy of Jimi's 'sacrifice' at monterey , devolved into ... this...
I like Rod Evan's DP the best anyways (Hi Rod!)



Just something to see...
apparently the band were not well liked after causing such severe damage to camara and stage, never mind the fans that got a heavy knock on the lemon from the strat pieces thrown into the crowd(three times!)

A repost.. of sorts..

....about ten years ago (the last time i had any chance to record ANYTHING).
i recorded the heavier bits and raunchier blooz bits i posted here..
All itr took was two cassette decks, a gibson an a fender, a 'tube sound' overdrive pedal, a beater box, ....and... each day...3 gallons of 20% homemade sherry.. 10 valium 10's, 3 to 4 GRAMS of morphine sulphate, an a little poppy tea to top it all off....

NOW... go back an listen to my stuff...
an while doin so, keep in mind..
my batteries are FULLY CHARGED now.... on Fresh Air,  an  plain Water,.... buddies!...
