The Parrotheads* amongst us, and anyone who likes working guitars, will appreciate this.

Jimmy Buffett's Guitar Tech runs through some of his touring gems:

Thanks, I enjoyed it even though it was brief but a pity he said the Pearl Drum Company had the Broadcaster name, it was actually Gretsch Broadkaster.

I did a piece on my mates radio show a couple of weeks ago about the history of the Telecaster in the leadup to him playing Bill Kirchen's "Hammer Of The Honky Tonk Gods" which in Bill's words is a love song to the Tele.

Should add, Margaritaville was added to the band list yesterday

Forgive him. He is but a humble guitar tech :)

Don't know if Bob does podcast of his show but it certainly is streamed live 893.com.au between 12:00 & 14:00 each Tuesday.

My "King's Pick" at or about 13:00, this week I am presenting Rodger Delfos he was the singer guitarist in my 3 piece band in about 1970 and still works in the Melbourne pub scene playing outlaw country rock, he is a very good guitarist who also plays pedal steel, sax and Hammond organ in a far more than presentable manner.

Bob's show revolves around indie country artists so if anyone on here falls into that catagory and you have something down let me know and I'll make sure you get some exposure, doesn't matter where you live his show has online listeners all over the place and I have presented alt/country artists from the U.S. & UK and once I find their work on YouTube again there will be a hot unrecorded country band from Norway.
