my '19 Special TV smells like cake. vanilla cake. i had a Fender Tele, Jr that smelled similar. is that the nitrocellulose paint? i never knew that. thanks, i just learned something.
wow - thanks for asking! i will have to look into that Menatone. the guitar is a 2019 Special - my friend put Fralins in it before i bought it. the amp is a 2000 UK made model. i have 4 or 5 different gig amps, and the AC30 seems to always be in the top 2. i usually have a V-Twin in front, for...
man-o-man, so many i missed. no specific dates, but if i could go back in time to see........The Cars, The Babys, Burning Water, Dan Reed Network, Joe Pass, Michael Brecker, Miles. i could go on.... those pesky bar gigs kept getting in the way :rolleyes:

SRV at "Great America" in Santa Clara, CA on 5/21/89. i've been to quite a few concerts, but this show stands out as one of the most satisfying and moving performances i've ever experienced.
man, that's a tough one. i'm not sure if i can name just one either, but i have listened to "Michael Landau - Live 2000" probably more than anything else i own.
