I want to put out A huge message of thank you to our own tonycamphd for his incredible hospitality towards my wife and I. We spent 2 nights and 3 days at his home in Carlsbad CA, we couldn't have been treated better. He opened his home to us like we were family. He took us out to his favourite places, coached us in our driving around on the WRONG side of the road.... Nothing was any trouble for the guy. The drum kit he designed and built is a thing of beauty, and I tell ya, the boy can play. His room, though still being built, sounds great already, when he finishes it... It's going to be a great place for sure. We laughed a lot... Shared stories...fixed some gear, broke some gear 8), ate some killer Mexican food...and just had a great time. Tony is sometimes, and he would admit this no doubt, a little shall we say, quick on the keyboard... 8) .. But after meeting him and being in his home... It's a very small price to pay for the genuine kindness and generosity of spirit that lives inside this man... He is a "good bloke" and as I said to him, in australian vernacular, there is no higher compliment. I felt at ease in his home, because he made us feel so welcome. As I said, top bloke! Cheers Wiz . |

We are heading into town and have something to eat and go and check out some of the live music I know it's probably something that the locals would rather have a canal surgery then do best if if anyone wants to w catch up or hang out tonight and around town just leave a message here and check the site every now and then
Cheers

Back from Broadway.
Got a killer park, at a meter right near the corner of 4th and Broadway 8)
Saw a great band on that corner, then walked the full length and breadth.
Great players!
Good diversity of music too.
Tourist traps shops are par for the course I guess. It rained fairly heavily for some time.
Starting to feel the effects of the little sleep,....
Tomorrow is country music hall of fame and studio B and check out the guitar I will rent for later in the trip.
We fly out Monday morning for Houston and then Dallas and will be back in Nashville next Saturday.
I am free tomorrow night if anyone wants to hang PM me
Cheers
Wiz

We are having a coffee ... We looked at the Sam Phillips exhibit. Gonna sit for a bit, then studio b then come back and do the rest of the museum.
I am not shamed to say, I teared up standing in front of the console and tape machine at the start of the Phillips exhibit. Unreal.

I don't think ur officially a legit AE until uve cried both tears of joy and sadness standing in front of a console! 8) I do believe the tears of pain from catching ur hair in a tape machine capstan counts a half... Fair dinkum!  |
