This shit is way better than pedal demos

Came from Rick Beato and of all the videos I could’ve clicked, I clicked the absolute coolest one I could have lol THIS IS MY FAVORITE kind of stuff, these things are like a window 🪟 into the past that I feel connected to that just warms my heart especially things like this because these guys didn’t make it big time, if you didn’t find this and put it out they would be lost in the sands of time but your pulling out the proof that the guitar and its owners have a story to tell and it’s such an awesome thing to get to see and you and them share a bond which is a love for THESE SPECIFIC guitars

Too funny that the OG owner of that doubleneck is Larry! Man that's some destiny shit right there.

One of the coolest things about vintage stuff, "The story" behind it, whether it's guitars, amps, cars, high end furniture ,jewelry, etc, posters, t-shirts.......it's endless.

Uncle Larry, BCR Greg (Platzer) chimed in in the comments here. You should have him as a guest on Homeskool. He's one of the first people that that I can remember who was successful at fixing headstock breaks. It would be great to interview him about your burst. Thanks

So incredible! Very moving! Thank you for being such a great mentor. You've left such a positive mark on the world and I wish you many years of love and peace brother you deserve it!

Eternally fascinating looking at these ghosts, yet the guitar survives. I see a palm tree in the background. It feels like Los Angeles. Love these existential videos.

Those old guitars do better than talk! They scream and moan and tell stories and in the right hands, inspire.

Once again. Thank you uncle Larry, for the wisdom and all for the low low price of free. 🙏

Amazing stuff. Really fascinating- and so cool that they found their way to you!

Totally love this Uncle Larry. Old Guitars are like old sages, telling the stories of all those who touched them and drew out the music that the players loved to play. Like you, wish they could talk to us in our language, but they sure do talk in their own language when the next player in the lineage picks them up and makes music. Great archeology lesson.

Man this is so cool to see these pics!! The double-neck photos are priceless. Must be incredible to see those old pics and hold those instruments now, but hey, they're in the right hands now!

I couldn't make them out when you've had it out prior. Such an amazing collection Tom.

Greg Platzer... former owner of BCR music and sound.

The book is called "Calling Me Home: Gram Parsons and the Roots of Country Rock", by Bob Kealing, 2012. Chapter 9 opens with an interview with Carl Chambers!🎉

That thumb nail made me laugh out loud heartily. Thanks Larry!

Tom - found this on the interweb regarding Larry Lee. It matches up because of Keetie and The Kats Larry Lee Obituary Aug. 31, 1939 - Jan. 15, 2011 Larry R. Lee, 71, of Huntsville passed away Jan. 15 at Crestwood Medical Center. He was born in Indianapolis to Roy Lee and Mildred Bain Lee and graduated from Mooresville High School in 1957. After graduation, he became an original member as guitarist of Keetie and the Kats. The band played many times at the Whiteland Barn and were extremely popular in central Indiana in the late '50s and early '60s. After serving in the Army, Larry traveled across the United States and abroad playing in many different bands. He performed with popular stars such as Kenny Rogers, Ike and Tina Turner, Jackie Wilson and Wayne Cochran. He settled in Huntsville and played for 13 years with Rudy Mockabee. He also played with former members of the Drifters and Steppenwolf and at the Switzerland Jazz Festival in 2004. He is survived by his wife, Kathy Robertson Lee, and son, Max, both of Huntsville; brother, Rick Lee and wife Julie; and nephew, Jeffrey Lee, all of Mooresville, Ind.; as well as other in-laws, nieces and nephews. A service will be from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday at Rocket City Dance Club, 2614 Artie St., Huntsville.

Those 3 letter stickers on the burst will light up like a christmas tree under black light- would be fun for you (or scary!) to take a look. Just a suggestion

If these old guitars could talk, they'd say something like, "I heard there would be a guitar heaven where someone would appreciate us and play us to our full potential, and we arrived." At least that is what those two LP's would say. I can't imagine them ever finding a better home.
