To quote Mojo Nixon, "He's in there tryin' to get out man, tryin' to get out!"

I'm the same way.

PS, you look great. Brian, that cracks me up. I saw Mojey Wogey and Skid live once back at the end of the '80s or in the first of the '90's in Seattle. Used to love that stuff! I guess I still do. I always play his Christmas disc during the season, though not around the kids.

This was my favorite, which came out while I was in law school, and idealistic and all that stuff. In today's world of many folks having to give UA's to keep a job or to play high school sports, it seems almost naive.



P.S. I still have this on its original vinyl. In good shape too.
 
Haha, "evil peckerheads" indeed!

That reminds me of the Crash Pad song "Labor Day," which has the refrain "Don't piss on me and tell me that it's rainin'!"

My brother-in-law down in Ft. Myers, the economics perfesser, is a big Mojo & Skid fan. I think I first heard them when we stayed for a weekend with him and my sister out on St. Joseph up in the Panhandle, back in the day.
 
IIRC, I still haven't posted a picture in here. This one's from earlier this summer:

My wife is very excited about the grits I'm cooking.
 
I think I've already posted a pic in this thread but here's a recent one (with my freaky faux fro). This was at a music festival in upstate NY. By the way, that's not a Moxie. That's my favorite festival (canned) beer, Butternut Pork Slap.

Eric, (don't take this the wrong way), but that pic and those in your haircut thread are waaay cooler, IMO, than your avatar. They actually remind me of a neighbor's son about your age I used to have named......... Eric!
Cool pic, glad you posted it.:thumbsup
 
Here's a picture of me from this summer, doing some nasal maintenance on our first president. Just to show you how juvenile I am, I giggled about that for a solid hour afterwards. Maybe longer.

I could definitely see hangin' out with you, Rev! We'd probably drive our families nuts!

Dig That Reverend. Maybe I wasn't around when you picked it up and went on about it. Is there a link to a thread where you share? Love to hear the details.

I can't find any threads from back then. Let's just say the quality of this Reverend is really up there. The neck shape, frets, hardware, electronics... all much better than the price range usually carries. It is very easy to play.

It plays better than any guitar I've ever owned. The classic wound P-90's are hot and full of roar when you need them, or clear and jazzy when rolled back. The bass contour pot is a big part of that range. Rolled on, the guitar starts to have a humbucker edge to it. It makes the guitar get mean. Roll off the bass contour and she sings like an angel. You still have a standard tone pot, which tapers nicely without affecting the volume.

The only nit's would be the single coil hum (part of the character, too), the body size is a bit big (I like Unknown Hinson's artist model's smaller size), and the uncarved flatness of the body. Otherwise, it is a pure magical instrument.
 
Oh, here's an older one of me playing a small dive bar.

My old Lakland which has been roundabout replaced by my current jazz dlx.
 
That's a cool pic, R-H! Good to see some young blood in here.

Here's a pic of me from a performance a bit over a week ago:

well, i dare say my mug has changed a fair bit since my last post in here, and you can see my girlfriend here too. We were fishing at a place called Henlow Bridge Lakes, nice place.

Just found this pic on facebook that someone took at the benefit show Cinnamon Hill did last month. Not too many pics of me playing acoustic around! That's my beater Yammy 12-er. I love that guitar's tone!

Violent Femmes from the Yammy?

Haha, I do know "Blister In the Sun" and made the mistake of playing that little bass run intro at a gig once, between songs. Everyone wanted the rest of the song, but at the time I hadn't learned it! From that reaction, it'd go over well if we did do it.
 
I just got here, but thought I'd chuck a couple of pics up...

I'll try and get a recent pic with my guitar soon...
 
This is a picture my son took a couple weeks ago. He is a graphic artist and did the graphic designing to make the picture look real old and toned like it is. I found it on his business website, "Kingdom Come Photography & Design". It touches my heart that my son would do something so expressive of me like this.

I'm playing my Ibanez AF125 Custom hollow body, a real nice guitar:
