It's some kind of guard, all right. Possibly to cover some kind of damage.

It was blurry and he's moving a lot so I couldn't see real good, I just saw something metal and wider than a typical humbucker. Anyway, looks good/right there ;P

Silk kimonos are cool, right?

There is always a time and a place for sartorial elegance, especially, dare I say it, with North Americans:

Our band just finished this promo video with me on my trusty LPB. Watch it in 1080p for best results. Hope you like it!

Nice man! Great voice. That video just blew away anything on the CMA awards the other night. (OK, I didn't actually watch the CMAs, just a guess...)

That is one great video promo!

Good choice to start with the Johnny Cash music - you have an outstanding voice, and close enough to Cash that it's amazing.  Overall, that whole band has great voices, and the musicianship sounds top-notch.

I'd go see you, even though I'm not a country fan!

Thank you gentlemen!!  You just made my day ;D  I love when someone who's not into country digs it!

Thanks, G.G.! I'm kind of a late bloomer vocally. I've always been able to carry a tune, but it's too low for pop and too clean for rock.  I didn't grow up with country but was introduced to the vintage stuff a few years ago and fell in love with it!

Yeah, I'm a late vocal bloomer too.  The vintage influence shows.

Thanks, Dave! It's not as well known as some of his other hits but it seems to go over. Here's an un-mixed recording of "Big Iron" from the same show. I forgot the second verse--DOH!!

Holy crap! That's channeling Marty Robbins something phenomenal! I could easily believe that was him in an alternate take.

And that number is one of my top favorites from the late 60's along with Dick Curless' number (which you might want to try) called "The Heartline Special." I still remember that one...and you could pull it off.

Here's a Dick Curless number from the big rig/CB era that Uwe would like....Chick Inspector. Dick Curless was interesting - tall, lanky guy with an eye patch; sang a lot of trucker songs from the mid-60's through the early 70's.

WOW--what a cool voice he has!! Definitely lower than mine. I'm gonna seek out more from him for sure. I don't think I could get away with "Chick Inspector" in this day and age though. Women would rush the stage for all the wrong reasons!  I only do one truck drivin' song so far.  Here's Six Days on the Road, again from the same show:
