MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, a restored MSA Classic SS, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Also a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored Rose S10, named the "Blue Bird". Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also have a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks, and a showroom condition Sho-Bud Super Pro.

I just made the connection, Jewel's last name is Kilcher and Atz is her Dad. He's a pretty good singer too.

Many years ago, I had friends that were moving to Alaska and I was thinking about going up, but didn't because if I saw it, I probably would have stayed. Seeing the video, reminded me of that and confirmed it.

We recorded this song in 3 hours.

Just gorgeous, Chas! Before I first married, I had also pondered what might be involved in moving to Alaska - too beautiful for words.
(After learning of the last, part-term Gov, I'm kinda glad I stayed put). But what a stunning place! Very nice accompaniment.
