The Beatles Digital Remasters
We’ve been Beatle fans since the group first hit the CBS stage with Ed Sullivan in ’64! We’re just now coming down a bit from a Paul McCartney high, after his concert last month at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium. September 9th will be the very first time the Beatles catalog has been digitally remastered, [...]
Les Paul 1915-2009
His website posted this message…”The world has lost a remarkable innovator and musician. RIP Les Paul June 9, 1915-August 13, 2009.” Les Paul created, innovated, and inspired rock and roll history. He was a true visonary that will truly be missed, the original Gibson Guitar Hero! Gibson Guitars has the best writeup about Les Paul [...]
Happy Birthday Ringo Starr
Happy Birthday to one of my favorite drummers Ringo Starr, who is 69 years old today.

Ringo [...]

31st Annual Dallas International Guitar Festival
It’s time for the Guitar Show! I always find something new to see or hear. A friend went yesterday and said to check out the Stevie Ray Vaughan museum in the back. It’s small but they have some genuine articles there, so it’s worth the trip. But this show is always worth the trip and [...]
The Eagles take the Long Road Out on tour
The Eagles really have had an amazing career. I’ve been a fan of the band ever since hearing their first album and soaring harmonies of Don Henley and Glenn Frey. Then they merged rock and roll with that cool southern California progressive country sound on their Desperado album, which is one of my favorites still [...]
