I tweaked my last YouTube video.
I had a lot more pics that I was saving till after the unveiling. The last one was put together in a hurry the same night I shot it. I had much more time and patience for this one and am quite satisfied. I'm happy with the music fitting the length of the video, unlike the last one which ended short.

not Les Paul's Les Paul
I saw the "Racing Gibbys" in person for the first time yesterday during the Memorial Day Parade in Waukesha. Noticed the Les Paul Gibson is left-handed. Les was right-handed.

guitar sculptures complete
By now all the 10 foot sculptures have been completed and turned in and the playable guitars have been fitted with strings and hardware. The ticket cut-off for the $125.00 a person May 31st gala has passed and the June 1st Friday Night Live unveiling is but two weeks away.
I'm still meeting alot of Waukesha folk who have heard little to nothing of GuitarTown. Surprising, because I've seen lots in the paper and even on TV news... but then I'm following it all. Keeping the guitars under wraps until the unveiling for the benefit of the sponsors seems to have a detrimental effect on the ability of getting the word out. Placement of the sculptures will be even more important, hopefully near a well-travelled road, for visability because word isn't getting out like it should be.
I was honored and privileged to take part in the Harley parade through Waukesha Tuesday night when Tom Noll delivered his "The Founder" 10' sculptural guitar to Marshall Auto Body for clearcoating. I saw four additional sculptures there and was thoroughly impressed. It was great meeting Tom and his family for the first time and appreciative to Tom for the tour of his home and studio. Also appreciative to Mike Krumenacher, a friend of Tom's, who allowed me to ride on the back of his cycle so I could take pictures.
