I have to much stuff to list it all.
43 different instuments including 8 in the steel family.A couple of old stringmasters an old Rick a few Fender 400 and one Fender 1000, and a mid '30s dobro.
24 old tube amps, 14 are old Blackface and tweed Fenders, and 4 pre-war Ricky amps.
And if anyone from the IRS is reading this, I'm homeless and I don't own anything! |

| Chas, will you puhleeze put up pictures of your whole museum somewhere? A guided tour web site would be nice, or just upload a few more pix to where the current ones reside (and may explain a few of those space alien things you built)? |
Jack, there was talk of a web site for the "alien" things, but I probably won't show/advertise the other stuff except for the occasional photo on the forum. There are bad people out there and living in a city increases the percentage of them nearby.
The personal instruments were, briefly, designed and fabricated to make complicated sounds and have a "look" (it gives me an opportunity to showcase my skills) and from a compositional point of view, I would rather write simple music for complicated sounds than complicated music for simple sounds. I've been listening to some of them for over 10 years and I never get tired of hearing the sounds they make.

| Chas, you have a museum of history. I sat down with that Bigsby that Norm had when it was his main drive in '61. I didn't realize he no longer owned it. You must not keep your car in the garage with all of that. |
Gary, Rudy Farmer, who was knowm to "convert" triple necks into single necks, got the guitar, and there were fears that that was it's fate. However Herby Wallace had it and sold it to Bobbe who sold it to me. Norm's name had been removed, but Larry Petree confirmed the serial number.
I keep the cars on the front lawn, they make great lawn ornaments and for the Holidays, I put Christmas lights on them, it looks really festive and it tests the neighborhood's sense of humor.
After reading Ian's list, I remembered that I have a 1930 Greenfield Hawaiian "hambone" in a case, it's too delicate to leave out. |
