Michael Reno Harrell--Part 4

What better way to end August that with a visit with Michael Reno.  Check "The Too Late Lounge" on You Tube--it's sure to make you laugh out loud.

Blacksmith

You gotta love it when the old dudes rock!

Everly Brothers

You've got to love everything about these guys--especially those wonderful guitars and Don's inovative chordal riffs.

Phil and Don

If you have never seen these two in concert--you are missing a great show.

1964 Everly

I saw one of these in Winnipeg in the 60's.  It was selling for $785.00.  But Dude--what are you thinking.  Get that guitar into a proper case!!

Swampfest

Xaver Guitars at the Swampfest.

Broden

Pickers come in all sizes.  Broden may be little--but he is dressed like the Prime Minister.

Clarence and Roland White

Clarence was a member of the Kentucky Colonels, often seen on the Andy Griffith Show.  He then became a member of "The Byrds."  His Martin is now owned by Tony Rice and Marty Stuart has his Telecaster.

Clarence White

Did you recognize Clarence in yesterday's entry?

Andy Griffith

Can anybody name the gent in the rear with the guitar?

Scotty Moore

Who is that young man with Scotty?

Eve's Daughter

And how about that great Xaver Guitar.  Way to go Gerry!

Jimmy Rose

What a cool looking guitar.  Does anyone know what it is or anything at all about it?

Look Ma--No Hands!!

Sorry John--Bad joke.

Elvis J-200--Part 3

It's easy to tell which movie this shot was from.

Elvis J-200--Part 2

Another shot of the King and a great J-200.

Elvis J-200

From the movie "Loving You"

Jody Payne

When Jody stepped up to the mike you were always in for a treat.  Not too many sidemen can step up to the mike and equal the headliner, but Jody was a headliner in his own right.  Adios Amigo.

Who is that guy with Willie?

These guys can really put on a show.

Michael Reno Harrell--Part 3

Ya just gotta love a guitar that has been "broken in."

Roy Buchanan

Super picker!?  This guy turned down the Rolling Stones.  Seems you cannot have genius without the demons.

Dickey Betts

When you are talking all time great guitar players--you must include this guy.

Danny Gatton

Do you know anybody who can pull this "Bottle of Beer" routine off?

Eddie Van Halen

What can you say about Van Halen?

5150

Who owns this Kramer 5150?

Randy Rhoads

Great!  Is all the comment that this photo requires.

Tommy Iommi

You cannot deny this man is one of the most influential guitarists (not to mention inspirational) ever.

Joan Jett

A completely different Joan.

Joan Baez

In 1963 I tried and tried to emulate this lady's thumb and fingerstyle strums, particularly from her "Pretty Boy Floyd" rendition.  I finally got the hang of it and have been working on fingerstyle guitar ever since.  A big thank you to Joan and Woody.  Oh--and how about that wild guitar she is playing?

Angus Young

Would you consider Angus to be one of the all time great guitarists?
