We cut two new songs on Monday. Here I am working on some tone out of my ‘74 Marshall, ‘74 Hiwatt and ‘91 Les Paul. No clutter. Just plug in and play your guitar!
Working up a tone for a new song we recorded on Monday. 1991 Les Paul Custom into a 1974 Marshall 50 watt head and 1974 Hiwatt 4x12 cab. I love the Fane speakers!
We will release the music soon. Best wishes

Braking radio silence here. We started rehearsing again and have 4 new tunes coming together, lyrics and all! We should have a show coming up soon and of course we will let you know where and when. In the meantime here is an old snap of Whit sitting in Mojo Guitars on Saint Mark’s Place circa 1990. Best wishes
