- A shot during load-out from Kevin Kopek's show in NJ. I used to like doing Kevin's shows such as this one where we had the whole stage area. I stopped doing them in 2000 after I had an '82 Fullerton Vintage '57 Strat stolen and discovered there were no security checks in or out. A person merely removed it from the stand and boldly carried it out the front door.
Today's flashback: check out these pics of yours truly in 1979. My gear was a '72 white Mustang and a silverface Bassman head and matching large 2X15 cab which, unbelievably, fit on the bench seat of my 1960 VW Karman Ghia. Over my shoulder is a banjo built by my great-grandfather. He wasn't an instrument builder but 75 years ago men like him were good at tinkering and if he wanted something, he just built it. I have the banjo hanging in my shop today, including strings that were simply steel wire, all the same gauge. A month after this picture was taken, I went with a shaved head look, to fit in with all my buddies at Navy boot camp. I always swore I'd grow my hair back when I got discharged but as it worked out, that wasn't until 21 years later and a middle aged man with thinning long hair can tend to look rather sad. Long hair is now just a fond, distant memory of the 70's.

Okay, I'm not in my 20's or 30's any more. Here's a recent pic taken during a rare moment where I wasn't wearing sweats and a pocket T-shirt, posted for customers who like to have a face to put with the email/phone calls. How did this guy end up with this girl? God only knows...seriously.
Halloween 2010: With me as Gene Simmons, accompanied by my wife as Ace, and our good friends Anne an Jerry, we crashed the party as KISS and won best costume (pic-1) (pic-2) (pic-3).

2009: Complete with my "gig wig".
YOU ASKED FOR 'EM...MORE DOG PICS!
I DON’T KNOW WHY I PUT PICS OF DOGS ON A GUITAR SITE BUT PEOPLE SEEM TO
LIKE ‘EM SO HERE YOU GO. Sadly, both Max and Murphy passed away in 2012,
both at the ripe age of 14. Up to their last day, Maxie would do anything
to please us; Murphy still acted like a pup. You can't replace family
members like these guys but one day we'll adopt a few more and start a new
adventure.
- Here's a picture of our dog, Max,
the Wonder Lab, 2 years old and a slim 115 lbs.
- We just got him a playmate, Murph,
Wonder Lab Jr.
- Murphy's first "baby" picture
- ...who
was 65 lbs. at 6 months
- Max and Murph dressed up for Holiday
dinner. They’re all grown up now
with Max having trimmed down to a nice 112 lbs. (down from 134 - he’s very tall for his age) and Murph a
stocky 98 lbs.
- Max and Murph “like” to dress up as “Reindogs” during the holiday season. You can’t just see in their faces what a great time they’re having…
- I started uploading these pics in '98. Before we knew it the boys became senior citizens but thrived in their golden years, spending most of their day at "work", taking naps (Max at work - Murph at work) until the next UPS or Fedex delivery arrived.
