I vote for the DC5’s “Because”. One of my all-time favs. Interesting guitar work in the song. Roger

Just wanted to say hi to everyone…missed all of you during the past few months. Have a few new guitars and hope to post pics of them soon. Kind of fell out of touch. As you might recall, I lost my morkie, Eddy, some time ago….also my youngest sister and then my mother…it has been a bit of a tough time emotionally. Needed to just take a break from most things. Glad to be back. Roger

Something that usually is found within every collector’s “herd”…Gibby SG Standard with great sounding pickups.
-
1990s Epiphone Casino from the famous Peerless factory. P90s add a distinctive punch!
-
50 years old, minty Epiphone Excellente FT550. Great woods. Wonderful craftsmanship. Beautiful sound.

My new-used Ricky…somewhat rare. This is a 90s model.

It is zero dark thirty in the morning (that would be 3:30 a.m. CST ?), and my new puppy, Cooper, continues to make a good night’s sleep a fleeting kind of thing for me. So, I asked myself, “Why fight it? ” I tell myself…just get up, pour yourself a cup of ambition, and get into your cozy recliner, and, of course, tune in and listen to some MLT!
Ahhhhhhh…..Starman, along with some MLT originals. Now that’s a great way to wake up and greet the day! I have dialed in and set the groovy meter for a great day….wishing the same for everyone.

Wow! I think, you think, more than I think, I think!
You know, it strikes me that hundreds of years ago music must have been taught in this fashion. As in, music was viewed as movement in space, time, patterns, and relationships…as in relationships between notes. Music was taught to be experienced more holistically. To feel, move, and be moved. Sadly, I feel nothing is taught in such fashion these days. I do not think this is lost on the Wagner family. They seem to capture this in their approach to music with the results turning into something captivating which invites multiple listening experiences. Hopefully, their approach will never be reduced to something more mechanical and routine…more common. Roger

Very well said…love reading your entries throughout these forum areas. As folks say…”you the man!” and I love reading your insights and bits and pieces of period knowledge. Roger

Wish that I had that kind of knowledge base when it came to groups. Many of you folks simply impress the heck out of me with the details you share in these many postings! It all makes for great reads. For me, I knew that I related to the music produced. by some groups, while others…not so much. The Stones were one of those groups that just did not appeal to me…perhaps my brother’s constant playing of their Paint It Black LP got…”under my skin (Thumb)”!
Love the many insights you guys share. Keep them coming!

Jung,
I like older pens for the size and heft that they present. You know that you not only hold a well-made, well-crafted pen, but usually one with style and a message about the person possessing it.
The cases are almost as beautiful as the item or items they contain within and protect. Those of wood that were carefully hand-carved and could be made to represent so many people, places, and things…very important cultural artifacts with stories to tell and secrets to hide.
What is of special interest to me are the varied rituals that people would go through before, during, and after using their pens. That is, the many ways in which they often helped to emphasize routine, or perhaps very important, events or moments in time.
I can see why a person would develop a special interest in them. You should consider posting a picture of a few…they are, after all, instruments to be played!

Yup…and more cases! Of course, it is a small price to pay for the joy guitars bring us! The Ricky is like a work of art, for sure. I feel thst way about most guitars. Roger

Hi Jung,
Great hearing from you. How close to my location did you get? I got a couple of new additions and I will have to take pics of them. A 1992 Peerless (factory name) Casino with P-90 pickups, and a Ricky 650…also, a 1992. The casino is ebony (keeping with the MLT grove), and the Ricky is a neck through natural finish…a beautiful and a bit unusual. The Ricky also has a wider neck than other models which offers a slightly more comfortable play time.
I wish that I could find a buyer for my 609 Clavinova…it has been played about one-half a dozen times. New:$12,000.00. My price: $5,000.00 It would make someone one of those buys of a life-time purchases. Why did I buy it? Great intentions, but as the saying goes, “the road to heaven is paved with good intentions” or, was that the road to hell? In any case, if you know anyone…heck of a buy! Just needs to find a home and player who can make this baby sing!
If you ever think of buying guitars, you should touch base with your fellow MLT players! Can’t hurt and folks may offer you fantastic deals!
Good hearing from you. I e joy reading your offerings in various forums.
Roger
