I'm in hell. I have even less use of my left arm than I did in that goofy video which was the last time I played with an capacity. It is embarrassing and far from representative of my ability. My humerus was in two seperate pieces then and the implanted rod was the only thing holding it together. As bad as it is I'd give anything to even have that limited ability back.

Now the bone is gone after the cancer ate it up. Al metal from shoulder to elbow. Next step is amputation of the whole arm.

Big Al,

Everytime I photo a guitar I think of you and wonder how your day is going. I can't fathom what you are going through. I hope little Lightburst will lighten your day. Keep fighting the good fight.

Cheers

You know, Scott, I've always found beauty in every Les Paul. I just don't find I need a particular flame type or specific hue or color to catch my eye. I have often wondered why some seem so repulsed by dumb ass hang ups about color, figure, era or any other anal fixation that prevents one from simply enjoying a beautiful guitar.

That said, some really catch my eye. This one does. WHAT A BEAUTY!!!! You always seem to post guitars that grab my attention. Excellent photography, brother.

Hi Al, I hope things get better for you, hang in there!

You gave me a feel good boost when you talked about how good
the 96 studio's are.

It validated my opinion of this great playing and sounding
Gibson Les Paul.
