little thrill of the week...

no, not the snow. it was neat and all, but 2 days of snow is enough for me.

i posted some pix of my white charvel a few weeks ago, and when i was on my flickr page, i noted that someone had counted one of them as a favorite. so i hit the link to their flickr page, and fuckin' a, it belongs to Noe the G! who's he, you ask? well, he was the founding editor of guitar world magazine. yeah, that one. so i sent him a quick note letting him know that i was honored that he added me as a contact, and that i totally knew who he is. he messaged back stating that it made his day to hear from me. earlier today, he posted some pictures of his charvel that grover jackson made for him back in the day. it's kickass, for sure.

how cool of a world do we live in when a simple photograph can be a catalyst of brief, yet positive communication?

one thing that i try to remember to do is to randomly reach out to a pal with a text or whatever letting them know that i appreciate them. sometimes a kind word out of the blue can positively impact someone's day when they need it most. if you don't do that, i highly recommend it.

i posted this on my flickr page, but here's a photo shoutout to my newest flickr contact, doctor noe:

oh, and here's something i recorded today....another example of playing along with a backing track. this time, we have an abridged version of S.A.T.O, which originally appears on ozzy's second solo album, diary of a madman. it's mainly scratch tracks that are not mixed, but i had a lot of fun recording it. i'll do a better version eventually.
