Wild Saturday Nights: West Coast Edition

Well folks, what they say about California is true: it's laid back out here. You might call it "slow." Our wild Saturday night is made up of a tasty homemade soup

LA based Western Swing combo (featuring the amazing Jeremy Wakefield on steel) The Lucky Stars:



this exotic weirdness:



Bob Wills:



and another Wills song ($2 if you can identify the guitar being player upside down by a lefty)



In other news, the RV Bigsby guitar has been refretted and a new nut made. It plays a million times better and will be seeing some action this fall here in Santa Cruz. Perhaps it will be seen at Carolyn Sills' upcoming Patsy Cline Holiday Spectacular at Don Quixote's on December 15th.
