Palmetto Drive

Here's a fairly recent photo of me, just before our usual Thursday night Palmetto Drive Jam.

OCD!

Woot! Diana bought me a Fulltone OCD pedal for my birthday. Those baby's rock! If you've ever heard Robin Trower, you know the sound. Think classic rock, Zeppelin, AC/DC, Bad Company, etc. Full on Marshall sizzle. Can't wait to get it. I am actually thinking of running my vintage Distortion + either before or after the OCD for a bit more 'sing'. We'll see... Anyways, stoked to be getting an OCD!

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to Jules Verne and James Dean!

No Respect...

Brady and Moss pull out of Pro Bowl a day after loss to Giants in Super Bowl
By The Associated Press

Is this really a suprise? Both are as credible as their coach. I had hoped when Moss was with the Raiders, he'd end up being a good aquisition, but as history shows, he sucked... Came back and had a fabulous season this year, but disapeared in the playoffs. Now he, and Brady (Puss) are skipping the Pro Bowl (which, having lived in Hawaii and gone to a couple of Pro Bowls, is a major deal to fans) because of some minor little ankle injuries. More like their bruised little egos. I guess it's no suprise...

How 'bout them Giants!

Just like I said all along (hoping to see the Patriots lose), if the Giants defense can get to Brady and keep the Patriots from running up the score, they have a chance. Well, lo and behold, the Giants did it! Woot! Poor Patriots... Ended up 18 and DOH... Ba ha ha ha... Belichick is a sore LOSER and a wuss... Way to go Eli!

Guitar Responses

I have had really good comments made about my new guitar, so I thought I'd collect a few from various sources and post them.

From the Unofficial Warmoth site:
"Very cool from top to bottom. The canary and bengel flame work really well together, especially with the single 12th fret inlay. The big reverse headstock almost give it that Washburn N4 sorta look. Looks great."

"I like the whole thing! the neck is especially sexy! love the clean look of the single inlay."

"That´s sweet, has some similarities with what i have in mind for an upcoming Strat project. Very warm looking. Congrats with a very nice build."

"Well, Storm, that is truly unique, You are not going to run into anyone else with anything like that! I might add it is pretty bad-ass."

From GuitarGeek:
"Very nice indeed! If you put that together yourself, you've made a good job of it."

"That's a sweet looking axe man. I love the top."

Thanks for all the great comments out there. Now that I have had the time to play it some, I have to admint, it is by far the best playing guitar I have ever played or owned. Canarywood is awesome!

Super Bowl

Well, the Super Bowl is upon us and I really wanted neither team to be there (opting for a Green Bay vs Indy matchup). So, that being said, more than anything, I want to see the Giants beat the Patriots to avoid the undefeated season. Go GIANTS!

Warmoth (Fender) Stormbringer

Well, it's finally done! Looks and plays like a champ! The solid Canarywood neck is by far the best neck I have ever felt or played... More pics soon...
