Pretty Freakin' Cool!

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

It really looks very good and even better tah I expected. Pictures of sparkled guitars are always difficult to take. My girlfriend used to own a red sparkle Epi LP and I tried to take decent pictures but I failed everytime. Point: Thos bass must look even better in real life.

A Captain America bass!!! You are an intrepid man, I dare say.  ;)

Is there a Pickin' & Grinnin' tour with Roy Clark in your future?  :)

So my objective of combining 1970's kitsch with a down-home Buck Owen's aura succeeded?  ;)  I couldn't figure out how to incorporate my childhood crush Marsha Brady on there too though.  (Check out the bass line during Bobby's solos - love it)

Thanks guys (special thanks to Mark for steering me toward this project with Mike too) - I'll post a review when she gets here. 


*Edited to add: I guess Buck and Roy did represent some form of 70's Kitsch after they did Hee Haw.  Too bad they went out like that.

Sweet!

When you first described what you were going to do I thought it would be fugly :-[, sorry!  I have to say I'm now proven wrong - guess I'm just not a visionary ;)

I think that Porter wore better suits than Buck tho :)
