Musicians in Byrd Park

This was taken long ago in Byrd Park. My grandfather Chastine Grubbs is the guitar player seated left on the front row. He was my first direct exposure to guitar. I always remember the magical sound of strumming the open strings on his guitar when I visited him as a child. I’m sure it’s what got me started on this path many years ago.

Stamped on the back of the photo is “Layton’s Studio 819 E Broad St”

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to.

It lives! I finally finished my newest amp project, a Fender Princeton Reverb clone. It fired right up the first time but I got stumped a little at the end trying to get the reverb working properly. Note to self: Next time don’t assume something’s not working because the circuit is wrong or my soldering skills suck (they are getting better) It ended up being the reverb cable, duh! Next time check the simple things too.

This thing sounds great and I’m sure it will sound better as it burns in and settles down.
