In 1969, as the band imploded, the singer was 27, depressed and drowning in a sea of legal and personal rows. He hadn’t died, as rumour had it, but he was struggling. He introduces an oral history of how his family’s escape to a remote Scottish farm helped him move on 🎶

Rented a dumpster for a week, got some some major yard and barn cleanup attended to. Last bits getting done today before they take it away tomorrow. If you drove by just now, you might have seen me toss the odd combination of three trashed snowshovels and two broken plastic pink flamingoes into it.

Had trio practice last night. Tried out two new cover tunes and took an old original off the shelf to work on a new arrangement for it. Drank tea. Had fun.

Of course, I'd also use these into any old backline amp that's at whatever the gig might be. You know how that goes!

I have three small Fender amps (brown and tweed are customized, black is mostly stock, but I upgraded the tubes and speaker).

Photo shows three small tube amps for guitar. Simple is good.

Current pedalboards. They are similar, but feature different flavors of dirt, and hints of modulation are available in the reverb pedal on the top board, but in the delay on the lower one. I set the tuner pedals off a bit so I'm less likely to mute everything when aiming for the dirt pedal mid-song.

Image shows two small pedalboards on a worn-out old rug. Each board has four pedals affixed to it. In both cases, the signal flow runs Tuner>Dirt>Reverb>Delay. While I love hearing what other players do with the multitude of pedal combinations available to us these days, this is the simple formula I keep returning to, and it works for me.

My condolences to all the KISS fans out there. Just saw the news that Ace Frehley has left the building.
