  • Uncle Larry turns over some rocks on the shallow shores of the mysterious River of Life, and takes a few pictures with God’s camera that he found laying on a park bench…with the lens zoomed out as far as it can go.
    Oh, and he tries out a pedal too…
    i want to sincerely thank the dear boys at Universal Audio for sending over a nice coffee mug and comfy t shirt...much appreciated my friends.
    if you are feeling like your life sucks, watch this about 3 times in a row, hug your kids and have a beer....call your boss and say "thank you for the opportunity to make a living"

      ​@@a.m.phaneuf6164 Do youu know how to break up a Mexican wedding celebration?... You get a Mexican cement crew foreman to yell out to the crowd "MUD'S HERE!" My Mexican friend T-Bird told me that joke when I was 17 and we were pouring cement. I'm 3/4 Hispanic so I'm permitted to tell this joke.

    I don't normally comment on anything but, Tom just said something in this video that is so true and bares repeating to every guitar owner to consider ... "Just of yourself as the custodian of that instrument until your death. That's what I do. Nobody owns anything, we are just holding. We are renting these instruments for our lifetimes."

    Uncle Larry, it’s important that you understand how much your listeners get out of your “classes”. It’s not merely the technical mastery you share but possibly more important, the wisdom you share. For context, imagine how much you would have loved getting to hear Chet Atkins or Merle Travis share their early experiences both in the studio and out. I hope that puts it in the right perspective. We love you man.

    Neil Young said it best in “This Old Guitar”
    This old guitar ain't mine to keep
    Just taking care of it now
    It's been around for years and years
    Just waiting in its old case
    It's been up and down the country roads
    It's brought a tear and a smile
    It's seen its share of dreams and hopes
    And never went out of style
    The more I play it, the better it sounds
    It cries when I leave it alone
    Silently it waits for me
    Or someone else I suppose

    my dad had a seafoam strat hanging in his studio, I remember seeing it growing up, he did sessions out of our garage and apparently the strat belonged to his guitarplayer friend TJ. TJ took it back eventually when we moved outta that house and I regret to say I never got to play it.

Heartwarming story about Dec. 31 with your boys in the Colts box. Very cool ! That will be a truly beautiful scene. Thank you for bring us Homeskoolers along week by week through the year.
