I sure don't remember a small shop like that on 3rd.
Just east of La Cienega on 3rd was the Record Plant Studios...on the south side of Third. Before he moved to Riverside, Blackie's store was in ... |

Sorry to hear about Bruce's passing. I met him a few years ago at the Phoenix show...we hung out a bit.
Cool guy...sorry I didn't get to know him better.. Condolences to his friends & family. |

I've played a couple gigs & sessions with Al, and almost always used a Risson amp...with no reverb.
Always sounded awesome. |

Classic SoCal country rock solo.
FWIW, it was played on a ZB, and Ed had his steel set up Day. A good friend, sorely missed... |

I went to a 22W on all my steels when I switched from lowering 6 a whole step to raising 7 a whole step.
No complaints...I like the way it feels and sounds. |

John Macy owns that guitar now. It was at Jim Palenscar's shop a while ago, and we all had a chance to play it a bit. Even with the deadest of strings it still had that Emmons tone. ... |

I switched to a wound 6th when I swapped the 6th lower for a 7th raise - whole tone.
I also think it sounds better, and I like the 7th raise more than the 6th lower. |
