The Buckeye Burl Essence caught my eye in the group shots. I'm happy to see some closeups. I really like the way the racing stripe carries through the pickups.

Wow - thanks for the pics! Looks like a great time was had by all. (AGAIN!!) By the way, who was that woman in the pics? (Just kidding, MICA RULES!)

Here's the first video from the Gathering. Surprisingly, I was the only guitar player who showed! Then there were some technical difficulties in setting up the P.A. and we had a failure with Ken's bass amp. As a result, there wasn't as much jamming as usually takes place at this annual event. But I did get to record a few things. Here's #1. More to follow.

Bill, tgo

By the way, I LOVE the burl Essence pictured above. Normally, I'm not really a burl guy, but this one looks like lots of little skulls. Made for a Deadhead!
