Flying with My Guitar

Airline flight guitar horror stories are legion, so I thought I'd tell one with a happy ending.



I recently flew from San Francisco to Washington, DC on Virgin America -- yes, the airline with cocktail lounge lighting on its planes, which can be a bit disconcerting at 8:00 am.

Newport Guitar Festival - Day Three

Day three here in Ft Lauderdale took a decidedly soggy turn, but that hasn't stopped the show. It's a busy day, and between catching Muriel Anderson's All Star Night in a little bit and an early flight home tomorrow, I'll have to save most of the rest of my photos and comments until I get home.

I tried to catch more of the concerts today and also checked out the "other side", the electric room, which actually had some items of interest even to a… Continue

Does anyone know anything of this label ? The text says, that it`s probably made in the 70`s, and not much more. I think it looks cheap, but could it be a hidden treasure ? http://www.dba.dk/wes
