I snapped a few photos of my 1967 #GretschTennessean before I left for LI on Saturday.

Pizza yesterday, bagels this morning and diner tomorrow. If I have to be on Long Island I’m going to take advantage of the few things this place has to offer me these days.

#SGsaturday! We left a snowy morning in Nisky for a rainy day on Long Island. Not the best way to spend a weekend and completely unrelated to my 1969 #GibsonSG but there it is. 🤷‍♂️

#FBF baby! I shared a few posts earlier this week with my blonde 1976 #GibsonLesPaulDeluxe so for today let’s take it back to around 1991 and the first blonde Deluxe I had. That one was from 1979 it weighed in at over thirteen pounds making it hands down the heaviest guitar I’ve ever owned.

Throwing it way back to 1984 making some noise at some studio space in Huntington, LI, NY.

Let’s start the week with a little throwback. @the.belle.curves played our first show in the Capital District one year ago at The Hollow in Albany. We have some more dates coming up all over the place later this spring and summer.

Cathy and I joined Shelby and Delaney for today’s #HandsOff demonstration in Schenectady. The wind and freezing rain didn’t stop a large and enthusiastic crowd from expressing our feelings about the current state of affairs in this country. Our own Shelby gave a rousing speech on the front steps. 💙

#fbf and we’re flashing it way back to the mid 1970s. I’m guessing it’s from sometime around 1976. Check my Carl Wilson haircut.

Look at me, I’m writing a song.

@delaneyjhafener just sent me a demo of new song. She said she was going for a Tom Petty vibe and I could hear it, even though it’s a bit understated (that’s a good thing). Naturally the mention of Tom Petty got me thinking of #RickenbackerGuitars. #Rickenbacker360

The two #GretschGuitars are on the couch this morning. 67 #GretschTennessean ans 72 #CountryGentleman.

I came back to Long Island again last night for work. Yippee. 😐

How do guitars get dusty when they literally spend 99% of their time in their cases? Asking for a friend.

#gibsunday. @paulie_coconuts shared a photo of his recent #LesPaul Deluxe and it got me thinking about my two OG Deluxes. 1976 and 1975.
