Have Yourself a Very Surreal Post Xmas

My 2012 Record Tree is done!
I made a little mini documentary "making of" music video for it as well. Hope you like it.

Sizzlin' Country...
I almost bought this for the cover but for $1 I couldn't justify it. But I did snap the picture to prove I did see it.

Holdsworth I.O.U. find

RIGHT-EEE-O!
My new Felix the Cat Vibro-tail Electric Guitar arrived today and it seems better made than I had any right to expect (I got one of the imperfect ones that were about 50% cheaper -- this is not an expensive guitar) Haven't plugged it in but its a whole lotta fun right outta the box. Came with a gig bag too. And I couldn't resist ordering the Felix ( Read more... )
