The news just stopped us in our tracks and it was very hard to get back to work---our press rolled at noon. Later the editor gave me the first AP news story that moved that day and a lot of the photos, as a memento for my son, a huge SRV fan. He was at sea then, courtesy of the USN.Deborah HHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-80262765885173772292014-06-18T05:21:34.714-04:002014-06-18T05:21:34.714-04:00Which reminds me of my previous posting on the Vau...Which reminds me of my previous posting on the <a href="http://sippicancottage.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-greates-roadhouse-band-ever.html?showComment=1394770670149#c2533109402139104989" rel="nofollow">Vaughan brothers.</a> Gringonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-62702006466564774142014-06-18T03:33:06.726-04:002014-06-18T03:33:06.726-04:00Sipp,

A wealth of basses and bass amps passed through my hands. Booze and drugs never ever made any part of my life better. I am now twenty-seven years clean and sober and the bad days I have now are better than the good days I used to have.chasmatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962911972107586613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-73996484638615824242014-06-16T22:48:33.913-04:002014-06-16T22:48:33.913-04:00One of the greatest regrets of my youth is that wh...One of the greatest regrets of my youth is that when I was 15 I got conned out of buying cheap but lovely, banged up, scraped and scratched red Tele for a brand new Strat. It was probably an early '60s model, not that anybody cared about "vintage Teles" then. Or Vintage Fenders even, that much.<br /><br />The store clerk told me the Tele was "too crude for your first electric guitar. You won't be able to control it".T.K.

Owning a 50th Anniversary Strat and a 1977 Les Paul Custom, I picked up my first Tele last week and while it has been greatly modified, I like it better than the other two combined and am looking forward to the first gig with it next Friday. <br /><br />Hope the boys are doing fine……RJVRay Visotskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16505408491275735319noreply@blogger.com
