Steven Tyler Says He’s Not Quitting Aerosmith

November 11, 2009 by Chris

So is the drama over whether or not Steve Tyler, the lead singer from Aerosmith, is leaving the band finally put to rest? Well according to an article from today’s New York Timer he is staying.

Last week, Mr. Perry, the Aerosmith guitarist, had said that Mr. Tyler quit after Mr. Tyler gave an interview to a British music magazine in which he said he was preparing to focus on a solo career. Mr. Perry went so far as to announce on his Twitter feed on Monday that Aerosmith was looking for a new lead singer. The New York Times

Was this story just a ploy to gather some attention for the bands latest tour? Is there really some underlining truth to it?

I for one love the band! Songs like Dream On, will forever be linked to not only memories of past events in my life but countless others as well. Some of Aerosmith’s songs were like a soundtrack to our lives. That first love of your life, a concert that will not be equaled or some other memorable adventures from our past.

So if good old Steve leaves the band, will you still follow their music?

Keep on Jammin’

G & L Guitars

October 19, 2007 by Chris

Has anyone out there heard of this guitar maker? I found out about these guys through a patient that I was taking back to their room after a procedure. The patient was a bass player and said that it was the pride of the collection. So curious about it I went and googled it.

To my amazement the makers were none other them Leo Fender – Maker of all pre-CBS Fender as well as Music Man instruments – and George Fullerton.

Leo Fender, we all know who he is but, the other guy, not so much. George Fullerton is the co-creater of the Fender Stratocaster. Not a bad thing to have as a lasting legacy of a man now is it!

G & L was the result of Leo having to sell his company in 1965 due to health problems that he was having in the early 60’s. It was started up in 1980 at the same location that had housed his Clarence Leo Fender Research (CLF) facility.

Some of the musicians who use these beauty’s are personal favorites of mine. For example:

Carl Perkins, Canada’s own Gord Sinclair (The Tragically Hip), Peter Frampton and Bob Mayo (Peter Frampton Band), Neal Schon (Journey), Davey Johnstone (Elton John band), Gary Hewitt (Gary Allan Band) and all the guitarists from Aerosmith and INXS. Just to name a few.

If you happen to come across this post and own one of these beauty’s PLEASE write a comment here about your experiences about your axe. We’d really like to hear from you, please?

Keep on Jammin’
