Magwa Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 One of my favorite all time fret burners SRV had that Texas boogie and I love a good shuffle, his takes on hendrix were brilliant now he has his own custom strat he would love that i am sure he is missed....

Sisco Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 SRV, one of the best. Just picked up an Epiphone Les Paul Classic. See if I can find a pic of my Dads Epiphone electric from 1936. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 This jewel is a 1936 Epiphone electric guitar. My Dad made a living in St. Louis in the 30’s as a band musician. Had the opportunity to play behind a lot of famous people including Tommy Dorsey and Louis Armstrong. Our family treasures this beauty and it is kept in a safe place by a trusted family member.

It was red, and only had 2 knobs (vol and tone) but otherwise looked identical. One of the many treasures I lost when I disowned that side of the family. Havnt spoken to any of them since the late 90s when I torched that bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were the days of true musicians. Probably why I enjoy the era so much. They made music.....not loud noise. I don't suppose he ever played with "The Count" did he? I do love me some Count Basie.

Sisco Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) I don’t know if he did or not. In those days, most the musicians in a “famous” band, except for a few key members, were locals. The band leader would come in, hire musicians to fill in the band, they would practice a little bit, play their gigs, get paid, and the band leader would be on to the next town and gigs. So my Dad would be hired for gigs in and around St. Louis. It kept him in money until the job market got better.

Rsquared Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Either way. That's good that your family has taken care of that guitar. That thing looks like it's in great shape. If only that thing could talk huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
