Goodbye Tom Petty . . ..



It was confirmed last night that Tom Petty died after being found in his home unresponsive and in full cardiac arrest.  Tom and the Heartbreakers has just finished up their 40th anniversary tour.  Tom was planning to spend more time at home with his new grandchild. 

Everyday is precious.  Live each day as if it is your last.

RIP Tom.  Thank you for the music!

God's grace, and cherished memories of people that made great music, still amaze me . . . ><>

The mystique of Martin Guitars



I have two Taylor guitars, both BTO's.  I have two Guild jumbo's (a six and a12 string).  All of these are just the best guitars in all the world.  Outstanding instruments.  Others who are betters players than I have played them, and I sit in awe of the music this instruments produce.

Desite all this . . . I gravitate to my Martin guitars.

Enjoy this video from a few years back.

If you have a favorite guitar, uke, bass, flute, trumpet, violin or any other instrument, and would love to share you story, then please contact me by email at revrickmang@gmail.com.

God's grace, and a fine guitar, amaze me greatly . . .  ><>

I don't feel dressed without having a pen, pencil and notebook with me!

I'm at the age where I pretty much know what I like to have with me in terms of every-day-carry.   I like 4"x6" sized notebook...
