mainly pictures of old t-shirts, the odd mug or decorative plate, musical instruments, recording equipment, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass albums, and other assorted thangs.
and organs.

The World without Leo
Today is the 21st anniversary of Leo Fender’s death.
Hard to imagine what the world would have been without Leo. For sure, there wouldn’t have been any tele, strat, or any other caster. In fact, there wouldn’t have been any Fender at all. If Clapton, Vaughan, Gilmour, Richards, Knopfler and hundreds of others didn’t come across one of his creations, perhaps they would not have managed to unleash as much talent as they did. Jimi Hendrix without his stratocaster?
Most certainly, the horde of guitarists that we are would have a very different shape, our record collection could be miles away from today, and this very present blog might not even exist.
Yes, M. Fender, Put aside a few slices of gratitude to the elders (thirties, forties) we owe you almost everything. You are very much missed.

mysteryofmorgan asked: that picture of the organ from a thrift store is from threeway thrift right? i just put my hands on it yesterday!!
ha you probably did, im sure there’s a few of ‘em out there…its actually from a CITA thrift in melbourne fl
on the upside, this jacket is awesome. ive been looking for something with the old NASA “worm” logo for years, and considering I live 20 miles from Cape Canaveral, it turned out to be pretty elusive…
unfortunately though, it’s already summer here, so i wont be able to wear it until Christmas.
woot.
fun fact…the external tank for the shuttle was painted white for the first two missions to protect it from UV damage while sitting on the pad. It turned out to be unnecessary, so to save weight, they began to leave it unpainted in all its orange glory. That said, the jacket is from between April ‘81 to March ‘82…I was well on my way to being an astronaut, but apparently they like their cadets to be able to see things without coke bottle glasses…
nit3c1b-deactivated20120313 asked: i think it might actually be a tremolo control?
cool, thanks for the info; i dont know anybody with a Hammond or Leslie, so to eBay it goes.
