It may be time for me to give up my search for the perfect pick.

Noticed Joe V had one of the Art Valdez D'Angelico replicas listed for sale. Apparently it sold pretty fast: 1991 D'Angelico Excel, First USA Reissue I was a customer of Art's for many years,...

Art Valdez D'Angelico

There's the weathered adage of "you gotta just put yourself out there" I discovered an adage of my own that I like better, "clean that waxy ego out of your ears and you'll hear better." Humble...

Jgbe Virtual Jam, Round 2

Great stories here! I was 17 and we were booked to play a gig at a local hall. A week or so before the gig, I fell off my Honda 125cc motorcycle at 60mph or so and sustained some pretty severe...

"Mongolian nose flute music". Did not go unnoticed. Pure frickin' genius.

There is a more experimental jazz ?

RIP Gibson Archtop guitar

Congratulations, Mark. We need another thread on the refin.

Green Heritage JS?

Oh cool, yeah I bet it is my Korg driver. I’ll try it with a different keyboard and definitely try the Sibelius free trial. Thank you both!

Jgbe Virtual Jam, Round 2

Joshua Breakstone plays a Norlin era L5ces, actually has two nearly identical, one stays in Japan. Royce Campbell plays an L5ces or WesMo, I forget. He has a boutique archtop too, but still gigs and...
