So, it would appear that we're never going to get to an Ashbrook show at Martini Ranch on time. [smile] Sadly we probably missed Geronimo tonight. Really glad he kept Rock 'N Roll for the closer and we didn't miss that.

Photobox ImageStephen is like Los Guys - in that a second guitarist is not required, but is really sweet when there is one. And most certainly when it's Josh Kennedy. Seriously, it takes it to a whole 'nother level. And y'know, you've gotta love Ashbrook's "Arizona" band in general.

Great show, as always Ashbrook is worth the price of admission. Surprisingly it wasn't the usual turn out though. There were some unexpected tunes in the set, namely Right On Time. Pretty cool to hear that.

For a third time in a row Katie and her t-shirt (tonight it was the Zia's Record Store Day 2010 one) got singled by Ashbrook from stage. Later in the night he mentioned that he wrote Scotch & A Handgun for Brad Singer. Would have loved to have heard the story behind that.

Cars & Guitars

Went down to the Tempe Center for the Arts today for Cars and Guitars, and exhibition that's been running since July. We hadn't made it down there, and today was the last day of it, so we made plans during the week to get down there.

A small exhibition, but still really cool. Particularly the fact that they'd really tied in Tempe and Scottsdale into the exhibition was cool, rather than it being just being a bunch of guitars.

A picture says a thousand words, so it's worth just checking them out. But I will say two things...

Photobox ImageIf I'd started playing guitar at the age of 5, rather than 14, this would have been my dream axe. And y'know, with that said, it's still pretty sweet at age 33.Photobox Image



Photobox ImageI would have loved to have lifted this TMF Tele off the wall and walked out with it. [wink] Very cool!
