    Bruce Conte Tower of Power and his 1957 Gold Top

    I always dug Tower of Power. I don't see Bruce getting much love round here as a Les Paul player. Anyone have any details of his guitar? I hear he sold it a few years back. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/SN8pWdZhVaM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Anyone heard from Dan "Bluesforstevie" ?

    I've been wondering where our friend Dan has been lately. He hasn't posted since November. No forum activity, no Youtubes, no email reply... nada. Has anyone heard from him? I hope he's been too busy playing the blues to hang with us here.
