Randy Rhoads remembered

31 years ago today, Randy Rhoads was killed in a plane crash in Leesburg, FL. I uploaded this video on 3/19/11 in tribute. Learning to play Randy's material is challenging, and has been a lifelong journey of sorts. I know I don't do his work justice, but I'm grateful for the years of inspiration that his music has given. Here's a recording I did of I Don't Know a few years back.

Something cool from something uncool

 Got in a minor car accident last week which resulted in my car having to go to the body shop for a week. I've always liked the color of my car, so I figured I'd go out on a limb and ask them if they'd mix up a little extra paint for ol' Sully. 

They did! Woo hoo! It looked so sweet, I had to try it!

 

 

 So.....if you have to take your car to the body shop, and you shoot urethane, ask for some extra; they'll probably give you some

Mornin' kids!

I woke up early today and roughed in some body contours on the 71 proto before heading to the office. Definitely a great way to start one's day.

Seems like an apropriate song!

Dust masks are important. As is decorating said dust mask. Also, I love my microplanes!

Roughed in the forearm bevel

Roughed in the cutaway contour and the lap contour

Here's how it is now; clearly a lot more work to do, but it's time to hop in the shower and go to work.
