Axes


A Spanish Classical - This is hallowed ground. An Almansa 457, this one sounds like it was made in heaven. It is the most beautiful sounding guitar I have ever played.


An American Classic (Epi Les Paul) - It' time to enter the age of electronics - watch out Eric and Jimmy


An America Acoustic - Martin sets the Standard for Acoustic Guitars


Cortez Classical - My Workhorse practice Guitar


Epiphone 12 String - A Harpsichord disguised as an Axe



Two Japanese Classicals - These are beautiful guitars.


Another American acoustic (Washburn J12)- this one made in China. Another great guitar.

Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill bring the house down in an amazing performance of , "How Great Thou Art.."

I have played a guitar for forty-six years. I don't play well. I haven't really worked at it and I am devoid of any natural talent. But I love music. I don't know anyone that doesn't. I love all types of music, classical, gospel, jazz, blues, country, and bluegrass, metal and of course rock. I have even heard some rap that I like although the violent female bashing rap not only bothers me but I think it is music gone bad if not evil. The truth in music is it is good and bad in all forms.

For any music to be considered good it must evoke emotion. Last night (4/22/11) at a Country Music TV show,"Girls Night Out," there were many wonderful performances but Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill's duet was as good as music gets. They performed the hymn, "How Great Thou Art." After Carrie and Vince sang the first verse Carrie stood silent while Vince played a guitar solo beautifully on his, "Strat," than Carrie started singing. The performance that followed was absolutely jaw dropping. Before she and Vince sang the final verse the audience was on its feet applauding while tears streamed down their faces. It was truly a remarkable performance for Carrie and Vince and for all of us lucky enough to experience it. Thank you Carrie and Vince and thank God for music.
