Beethoven rocks!

Audrey Gilchrist and I enjoying another beautiful day enhanced by music. I like how the blues in her pants and my guitar match. I promise we did not color coordinate. :)

Here is Ed Sheehan's "Perfect" performed by Audrey Gilchrist. She has performed on guitar at 2 school talent shows. Yay Audrey!

I always wanted to meet the luthier who built my Ruokangas Duke and Supersonic. Juha Ruokangas designed these guitars and Tomi Nivala put his hands to the wood to create these 2 masterpieces. THANKS TOMI !!!

Bruce Clement: Amp Builder and super cool guy. His amps have a clarity and power that needs to be heard to be believed. Even through the noise fog that is NAMM, their beauty shone through! Scroll down the page to check out his amazing point to point wiring here: www.bcaudio.com

I own 2 of Juha's guitars: a Duke and a Supersonic. At NAMM 2019 I was able to play Juha's latest creation, the Valvebucker. It is a vacuum tube powered pickup that sounds amazing...round, fat and clear with lots of overtones and dynamic range. Check it out here: https://ruokangas.com/specifications/valvebucker/

Frank Hartung makes amazing guitars. I purchased this Junco from him at NAMM 2019. He even delivered it to my house on his sightseeing trip up the coast to San Francisco. Check out his website at Hartung-Guitars.com
