In Praise Of Crappy Musical Gear

At age 13, my parents let me buy a $29 acoustic guitar at Musicland in the mall. And although I am grateful for that, it probably explains why I quickly learned to like electric…

Album Trivia #2: Fixin' Ta Lernya, Don't Wanna Concernya!

Album Trivia #1 - It's YUUUUUGE!
