2007 
Hope this letter finds you all happy, healthy, and in tune. Where did 2007 go? As of today Christmas is only 18 days away. Then a week later New Years Eve. Eat, drink, and be merry responsibly.
Time for the Christmas songs! Check out the Christmas Jam Along. Easy arrangements of the most popular songs. Cheers! Better hurry. In 18 days Christmas songs become null and void!
Time to give the gift that will last a lifetime. The gift of music education. I can make up a custom gift certificate and mail it to your recipient for as many lessons as you would like. I can email you the certificate and you can print it yourself if you want. Easy. Great gift.

Have you got a Beatles Complete Chord Songbook yet? EVERY musician on earth should own one. My favorite book ever. Click on the links below to take you to Musicians Friend.COM.
This is the time of year here in Texas when we switch from A/C to furnace heat. This is a radical change in humidity in your house. Bad for guitars. Especially high end acoustic guitars.
It is pretty cool to be a guitar player in Texas. For $30 per year you can have a cool ENJOY TEXAS MUSIC license plate. The coolest part is that $22 of that goes to a fund to buy instruments and give private music lessons to kids that would otherwise not be able to afford it. Is that beautiful or what? Click on the license plate below for application. If you do not know who Blind Lemon Jefferson is you should be ashamed.

Student Austin L. and his band IMPACT will be holding an outdoor concert on the grounds of First Presbyterian Church of Richardson (319 La Salle Drive) on 15 December at 4 p.m. Austin is the lead singer, lead guitarist, and even plays harmonica. They will be playing a few church songs, some rocking Christmas Carols, a few contemporary songs, and one of Austin's originals to the neighbors in the area. A good time will be had by all.
On the way here from Nashville is a VERY RARE 1982 Gibson Les Paul Standard in super rare custom color Candy Apple Red. The more research I do on this guitar the better it becomes. This was one of the last guitars to come out of the Gibson Kalamazoo facility.
Just in from Miami Florida. A 1972 Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty. The one with the Gibson logo on the pickup covers. I almost bought one of these back in 1977 in Louisville Kentucky at Jimmy Brown's Guitar Emporium on Bardstown Rd. It was like new but I could not afford it. It was $350. Now it is worth 20X that amount. A 1969 like this just sold on Ebay for $21,500. Currently my number one and not for sale. But you all know how that can change!
The search for the perfect tone never ends. But after years of consideration, trial and error this is my rig more or less. It is not easy to find the original vintage stuff anymore, so this is the new equivalent.
Every bit of my new gear comes from MusiciansFriend.com or Guitar Center for the past eight years. Best prices, selection, and return policy there is. AND they bring it to your door! If you click thru to MUSICIANS FRIEND .com or Guitar Center.com from this web site to buy something, I get an advertising credit and it does not cost you a penny extra! Musicians Friend and Guitar Center is where I get all my new gear. Click on the link below to go there. If the link does not appear on your browser go here and click on the MusiciansFriend or Guitar Center link at bottom of that page.
Always Stay Tuned. A lot is going on around here!
Rock On,
