Ray Benson – arguably the sequel to Bob Wills style. Better, Ray’s deep throat is a rousing mixture of bourbon, barbecue and Texas.

Here’s Texas Swing, old style.

Let’sFall In Love

Click it. I dare ya. This is a number that’s translated into jazz that about everyone has recorded. From Bing to Miles, Louis and Ella and oh so more. It’s the Hollywood Combovers, a P-B-D trio in Laguna Beach.

Brave? Follow @PaulLevey.

In addition to tweeting my prejudiced memories. I’ll, at minimum, keep my loved ones current with my path to senility. And my debauchery.

Gary’s the bottom of the Hollywood Comb Overs. As bassist, he’s responsible for laying it down and keeping time. When he’s not laying railroad ties he has an odd habit of doodling.

David Studivant has lead the famed San Francisco Medicine Ball Band for a whopping 40 years at least! Featuring only the most fun cats to gig with, Dave’s still on San Fran’s A list for local Jazz with the Rue de Bourbon flavors of New Orleans. You gotta check ‘um out soon!

Rockabilly band rocking Fender’s stage @NAMM. Notice Gretsch’s prominent appearance.

Can you imagine the tension on the neck of a wooden, six string bass? I guess I’m more curious how they sound. Are they amped? There is also a thumb rail on the fretless models.

Warwick is know for innovation. They call this series the Aliens… fitting!

Glitter is the stage’s best friend. Not sure if it’d be on my stage. But with Bling so popular, Glam’s sure to follow.

The devil’s in the details. These diamond point fretboard inlays have the best diamond markings of color, clarity and unmatched cut. Spotted at NAMM, the triple pearl banding and precision craftsmanship is fit for a king… or a king of the road if you’re Roger Miller.

In 1976 Santa Cruz Guitars brought boutique guitar making into the limelight. Hands down, inspired musicians all agree Santa Cruz Guitars are spellbindingly unique. There’s an auditorium in every body, an impeccable intonation to every fretboard and a virtuoso hugging every exquisitely hand crafted axe. No, not for the thrifty. But once you own one, you’ll have a love affair that rings truer as time goes by. Visit ’um sometime!

No matter your lumber of choice… here’s the reason we pick & grin. God bless you Doc Watson:
