  • Uncle Larry shares a few rehearsal memories from a super fun gig that happened in San Francisco over the last few days.
    He got to see some old friends and play some good old rock and roll with some of his bosses, past and present.... and had an absolutely lovely time.
    (and now, Tom Bukovac takes over speaking)
    These clips taken from the Jimmy Irsay exhibit that happened on 12/10/22, in San Francisco CA, starring:
    Ann Wilson, Little Johnny Fogerty, Stephen Stills, Buddy Guy, Kenny Aronoff, Kenny Wayne, Ebo, Tony Lucido, Mike Mills, Mike Wanchic, Danny Nucci, Stephen Barber, Jeffrey Gorman, Carmella Ramsey, Edgerrin James and others.
    Special thank you to Paul Moak for letting me borrow his amazing sounding resonator guitar.
    If anyone out there has one EXACTLY like this one for sale i will buy it.
    Tony Lucido is filmed here playing the famed Alembic fretless bass that John Mcvie used on this little Fleetwood Mac album you may have heard called "Rumours".
    The fretboard is shiny aluminum....pretty cool bass. Jimmy bought it for a song.
    Bottom line…let me say once again...i am SO thankful and grateful for all the cool places this instrument that i have worked sooooooooo hard at in this life has taken me....i will NEVER take it for granted.
    The magic equation that applies to basically everything in life....it's 99% drive...1%t talent.
    Work ethic trumps EVERYTHING.
    and way more importantly than all this, i want to say goodbye to a dear friend....Zak Godwin II.
    see you down the road bro bro

      When you just hear strings like this you really are reminded off the fact that they were made to all project perfectly along each other
      To me that’s probably the most magnificent piece of human engineering ever created

    Absolutely amazing!🤙

    More proof that we're the luckiest audience of viewers on RUclips in my humble opinion. Such a sincere privilege to have access like this. On top of guest appearances by KWS (a guy who's just incredibly cool and down to Earth for such an acclaimed musician), sweet Ebo and Brother Tony (what a _rig_ btw! Mr. Irsay coming with *THE* Alembic used on _Rumors_ running into a pair of old flip tops? 🔥🔥🔥) we're also given several slick chords and a radical little fifths lick to add into our repertoire. At this point of about two and a half years watching _The Home Skoolin Show_ I can safely say that *at least* 50% of my cooler chords have been copped off Uncle Larry.

You continue to be an absolute inspiration. All the best to you this Holiday season. Rock on brother!!!

    Uncle Larry, your genuine gratitude for where your drive has taken is one of the real marks of great artists.

Becoming one of your virtual roadies is one of those points of gratitude.

    Tom… Uncle Larry… I have to say that being able to see, hear and interact with a professional musician and learn the intricacies of the trade and the inside look at things is really something. I started playing when I was 9. I’m 51 now and the thought that, between then and relatively recently, of having a window to a side of music that most people would only get to know by some random chance is nothing short of incredible. Thanks a million. I know it’s long winded but really, thanks a lot!!
