This is a tale about choosing whom you let work on your favorite guitars…..The victim here was a 63 Gibson 335 reissue. The owner wanted the neck shaved, a common mod back in the day but not seen so much today with all the thin shredy necks on the market.  The plan is to save the guitars identity and provide the slim, oil finished neck the owner wants. So we begin with some disassembly and salvage. Here is the online source of genuine guitar parts like  Gibson Nashville bridge , wraparound bridge, guitar tuner buttons, strings etc. First up I need to remove the fret board so I use it on the new neck. I do this with a heat gun and some small spatulas. I use heat shields that are made out of heavy cardboard wrapped in aluminum foil to protect the finish on the top of the guitar. I prefer to start at the body and work my way up the neck. Once the FB is off I can remove the neck. Since I cannot save the neck there is no reason to waste time steaming apart the joint. He...

With spring FINALLY arriving in my neck of the woods, I managed to get out for my first outdoor skate. I thought I would take some time to share my outdoor tips (and I encourage you to share as well) because this is how most of us Dames got our training last summer when we had no access to venue space. Be aware of moisture Be aware of wet areas on the paths and roadways. Not only does wet pavement cause your wheels to slide out when you push, moisture can ruin your boots and wreck havoc on bearings. Moisture inside your bearings can cause them to rust and stop spinning effectively. Avoid puddles at all cost and if you happen to hit the odd splatter, dry off your skates and bearings as soon as you are done your skate. Get some outdoor wheels When buying wheels at any time, look at these three characteristics… Durometer (the “A” rating) : Ranges from 74A to 105A. The lower the number, the softer the wheel. Wheel durometer affects durability, shock absorption and grip on surf...

My goal is to spread awareness so we can reduce suffering from something that is so easily preventable and treatable. It seems a B12 deficiency can mimic or possibly even have an underlying cause of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Dementia, Autism, Fibromyalgia, Infertility, and Post-partum depression, just to name a few. In fact, knowing what I know now, I think it could have led to  my diagnosis with CRPS  6 years ago. Here’s the deal, B-12 is CRAZY important, in fact, it’s CRITICAL to life, but it’s also the most difficult vitamin to absorb, which is why so many people are deficient and don’t even know it. THE DANGERS OF A B12 DEFICIENCY  True confession, I’m not a huge fan of hospitals and rarely go unless absolutely necessary. Nothing against Doctors and Nurses, I have so much respect for all healers and my mom and grandmother even worked in a hospital at one point, but I find the sterile environment a little intimidating. Not to mention it seems...

Here's my latest free song lesson video: A beginner lesson on Leonard Cohen's amazing "Hallelujah." My arrangement is inspired by the gorgeous Jeff Buckley cover. It's been so fun releasing these free song lesson videos over the past couple weeks. I remember the excitement my blog generated almost 10 years ago--at that time, there wasn't a whole lot of support for guitarists on the internet, especially if you were just starting out. I'm sensing that same excitement again. I'm loving producing the lessons, and people are loving learning from them. Thanks for all the great feedback!

PGA Tour Q-School's second stage wrapped up across six venues Saturday, with seven players, who have a some sort of a connection to Manatee County, advancing to the final stage at Orange County National's Crooked Cat and Panther courses Dec. 1-6. Today's recap takes a magnifying glass approach to see just how they continued the quest for a PGA Tour card. There's also a glimpse into how a couple other players' dreams vanished when they flamed out in the final round of their qualifying site. (Note: all have played at least one West Florida Golf Tour event except Tyler Leon, Ty Tryon, David Lutterus and Jason Kokrak) Redstone Golf Club  in Humble, Texas (19 players and ties advanced; cut: 2-over, 290) Former Saint Stephen's standout Tyler Leon shot 5-under over his last 54 holes, including birdies on his last two holes, to tie for 11th and secure a final stage berth. Redstone's 73.19 scoring average plagued most of the field, but Leon grinded through with 13...

A few months ago GOOP rolled out their line of  physician approved supplements . The very best supplements curated by experts direct to you for  only  $90 for one month’s supply or if you sign up for a monthly delivery  only  $75 a month. The health claims that GOOP makes about these supplements were recently  labelled deceptive  by the advocacy group Truth In Advertising. For example, Truth in Advertising took issue with the claims that the “Balls in the Air” supplement can target autoimmune diseases. Look, I don’t even know what targeting an autoimmune disease means and I am a doctor. Possibly that’s a legal term for getting around an actual health claim or maybe it reflects the precision of this untested product? Who know?.
