2022 Heritage 575 Special Order

This L-5 was destroyed by FedEx. Broken headstock and several bad top cracks. Mark is restoring it back to playing glory. He doesn’t like taking on repairs but is doing it as a special favor....

L-5 Repair by Mark Campellone

"Played a funeral home's 100th anniversary party on Thursday" Hmm, trying to imagine the set list.... After You've Gone, Don't Get Around Much Anymore, Ghost of a Chance....

Just a Gigolo C7 Bb7 A7

Billy's really playing some "riff based" accompaniment here. Love it.

Who’s that guitarist?

The drummer is playing the backbeat on the snare, that is why it is sounding like rock & roll.
