House Of Guitar

June 21st, 2009

I have this old book called “The Evolution of Jazz Guitar” by Jimmy Stewart. There is a section on Jimmy Raney in which Stewart says that in 1949, Raney had a house on 93rd Street in New York and his roommates were Tal Farlow and Sal Salvador.

Woah! Can you imagine? That’s a whole lot of guitar for one house.

Here is a little clip of Raney followed by one from Tal. I couldn’t find any video of Sal Salvador but, I did find an old Gretsch ad.

As always, follow the house rules and click pause on the music player located in the side bar before playing the YouTubes.

And The Brand Plays On Pt. 20

June 16th, 2009

OK, so shoe business guy Eddie Van Halen is filing suit against Nike because they have some new shoes that allegedly look like his old guitar. From KTLA

Van Halen claims Nike is doing “irreparable harm and damage” to his signature design. He is seeking general and punitive damages, all profits arising from the sales of “Dunk Lows” and a permanent injunction halting production of the Nike shoes.

Van Halen recently launched his own line of striped chucks under his EVH brand.

Sounds serious. Let’s take a look…

Hmmm…maybe when you get in the shoe business, you get delusional.

Yeah I know; another picture of Madonna holding a guitar, so what?

Well, at first I thought it was kind of cool. That was until I saw this at LP Cover Lover

Turns out it’s just another Marilyn Monroe image heist.
