Guitar t-shirts
What 2 things go together better than guitars and t-shirts?
Well, OK, there’s one or two.
Love these t-shirts, especially the Han Guitar Solo (sadly out of stock)

50 Guitars
50 guitars that shaped music (according to the LA Times)
Surprisingly, I’ve never seen this Bob Weir Alembic before.
Guitar briefcase
This briefcase is made from a real acoustic guitar. I think I’d prefer it with a carrying handle on top as well as a strap but it is still Patent Pending, so they may make some changes.
They have lots of other music instrument related furniture too.

Just Lookin’ For A Blues Job
Absolutely have to have one of these t-shirts from Blues Hound FlatI’ve had some work done
Last Sunday afternoon I did my first gig for over 4 months at Scoobyfest (a great day, we raised almost £6oo for the Great North Air Ambulance)
Paul of Star Shots took some very good photos. This picture not only shows Paul’s consummate skill with a camera but highlights too his high level Photoshop expertise. I love the way he’s been able to add all of those bags, wrinkles, blemishes and grey hairs to make me look like a real blues singer.

Mustache Mafia Badges
Following on from yesterday’s mustache crayons, here is a set of badges that I simply must have!
Viking!
Magnum!
Poirot!
George Michael!
I guess my ‘tache is a cross between Poirot and Magnum, depending on the weather.
I’m going to have to keep a close eye on the Makers Market
Santa Cruz Guitars
When I bought the Marlin acoustic guitar that I still own (about 36 years ago), I got a friend of mine to play it in the guitar shop (Hamilton’s of Middlesbrough) whilst I walked as far across the shop as I could. The owner of the shop asked me what I was doing. I told her that I wanted to know what the guitar sounded like to a listener when it was being played. She said she’d never had anybody do that before, but I said it made perfect sense to me, unless you only ever intended to play for your own amusement.
On the Santa Cruz guitars page for this good looking guitar, it says:
“Be sure to have it played at you for your most accurate evaluation.”
It makes perfect sense to me.
There are some fine looking guitars here and going only on a combination of looks and description, I’d go for this one designed particularly for finger-picking – but I’d want to have it played at me of course.
Mustache Crayons – must have some of these!
These must be added to my small but growing collection of ‘tashabilia (Actually, I don’t have anything!)
Makers Market: Mustache Crayons Set of Four
“These mustaches can be used to create a colorful masterpiece or as a quick, vibrant disguise!
They are made from Crayola crayons so they are non toxic and have the most vibrant hues.
Each crayon is the equivalent of about 5 regular sized crayons. Each measures 3 1/4″ long by 1 1/4″ wide.
Mustache crayon 4-packs come in primary color (red, yellow, blue, black) and secondary color (orange, green, purple, brown) sets.
Mustache crayons are loved by both children and adults”
