Lenny and Chet
Happy Canada Day from Lenny and a Happy Fourth of July from Chet. 1965 was a good guitar year for me, and we gang of wannabe pickers referred to each other affectionately as "Chet"!! '65 was the year we moved to Winnipeg, which was the musical capital of North America!! In 1970 I was playing the Merrigold Lounge on Portage Avenue with "The Brothers Stacey Flatt"--I remind you that we were just out of the '60s--and Lenny was playing the banquet room on the second floor. Lenny would sit with his tea--yes, he was on the tea--and give his undivided attention to every note I played. (Lenny listened to every guitar player like that!!) Man do I miss these two!!

Blue Hummingbird
Remember Tommy Hunter's blue guitar. I took my Southern Jumbo to Frank Gay in Edmonton (early '70s) for a set-up, and I asked him if he could put a blue finish on it. He determined that it "wasn't ready", but if I would play it for a few more years, then we could talk. By 1977 we were back in Ontario, and the old '67 SJ still has the original finish. If you would like to own it--and have an extra ten grand, let's talk!!
