Larry Cragg – guitar and amp techie

 a nice article in “Fretboard Journal”:

Photo Outtakes: Guitar Tech Larry Cragg

posted by Jason Verlinde, Fretboard Journal 23

Larry Cragg has a lot of amps. And guitars. He needs them, too. When he’s not serving as Neil Young’s guitar tech (not to mention Santana and other rock stars), he’s busy running Vintage Instrument Rental, one of the few places in the world where musicians can rent the vintage guitars or amps of their dreams for a recording session or gig.

The website has a lot of brilliant photos about Larry’s guitars and amps.

Pegi Young’s new album, “Bracing for Impact”

 now in stores. Click on her website.

Its a fairly big article–on the back page of U.S.A. Today (Nov 30). She wrote most of the songs. Neil Young wrote one (Doghouse), and plays on two. She also covers a Danny Whitten song (I Don’t Want To Talk About It)

Ohio in Davis

The pepper-spray images intrigue us. This images/videos look like Ohio in the modern 21st century. Time for a new song by Neil Young.

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

Happy Birthday Neil Young

HERE WE ARE IN THE YEARS

Time itself is bought and sold.
The spreading fear of growing old
Contains a thousand foolish games
That we play.

Long may you run…

(also Happy Birthday to Grandpa Albert).
