Just wanted to show you a video from a guitar player by the name of Don Alder. It is awesome to watch – and hear – him play the acoustic guitar.

In case you haven’t noticed the goat has a fancy new look. I will be tweaking it from time to time but it is done for the most part. Feel free to let me know what you think.

Ahhhh, nothing like a little acoustic music, a soothing voice and whatever else to help you relax.

Listen now, see why you’re never to old to try new things and, most of all, reeeeelaaaaax.

Here are a few guys who evidently have way to much time on there hands. Lucky dogs!

Anyway, this is what it looks and sounds like when two poeple play the same guitar. Not bad.

You and I both have our ideas about what life must be like for rock bands on the road. Whether it the penthouse suites and first class treatment of superstars like Bon Jovi or the lonely outsider depiction outlined in Bob Seger’s melancholy classic “Turn the Page.” Today you get a chance to see – and hear – for yourself what it’s like for lesser known, harder working bands to be on the road.

For a few weeks now, I have been following a guy named Micheal Butler around the Midwest. Micheal Butler is the host of one of my favorite podcasts called the Rock and Roll Geek Show. Since he is also the hired gun on bass for the band Jetboy – who is on tour with Ratt frontman Stephen Pearcy – he is documenting snippets of the tour on video and audio for all to see.

I just had to share this with all you guitar players out there. Check this out. Gibson has developed a self-tuning guitar.

I have been waiting to share this music with you for awhile now and I’m excited to hear what you think. This edition of the Melting Pot podcast features three songs from a great new artist named Ethan Stone.

Thanks to Jersey Todd, I discovered his music a few months ago. I am seriously digging it and I know you will too.

Before we get there though I wanted to show you Read the rest of this entry
