Fort Smith mentioned in political scandal news!

Hey, @weimaraner.bsky.social, on a scale of 1-10, how absurd would you find it for Will Jones to send me incomplete records that specifically omit the Fort Smith trip that everyone knows he was at?

This Friday, November 28th 💥 Post-Thanksgiving blowout w/ the one and only FUNKANITES 💥 Advance tickets highly recommended and available @ www.whitewatertavern.com Funkanites are an eight-piece Little Rock Arkansas-based Afrobeat, Soul, and Funk ensemble. They are quite capable of handling any genre thrown at them, however, their focus is heavily on late 60’s and 70’s Afrobeat, Soul, and Funk with a contemporary spin on the genres. Big bombastic horn lines are the norm, as well as an airtight rhythm section that stretches and sews the pocket but never leaves it. They are ambassadors of a music that is not so readily available in a live setting in this day and age. They will move you.

LA BAYE 2×4 SIX - 2pu, electric guitar red tremolo Holman-Woodell Kansas, 1967. For sale.

Check out the similarities of this guitar to the Wurlitzer Gemini. One can see how they came out of the same factory.

www.vintagesilvertones.com/product/la-b...

#VintageGuitar #Guitar #Silvertone #LaBaye
This is a La Baye 2×4 Six guitar designed by a guitar teacher, Dave Helland, from Green Bay Wisconsin and manufactured in 1967 by the Holman-Woodell factory, most famous for the Wurlitzer guitar that they made briefly in 1966. This is a solid body, rectangular, literaly 2×4 shaped, guitar featuring a red finish, two single coil pickups with “La Baye” engraved on them, a white plastic guardplate on which the pickups and bridge are mounted, a metal bridge with individually adjustable plastic saddles, a plastic white plate on the treble side on which the pickup selector and jack are mounted, a white plastic plate on the bass side on which the volume and tone control are mounted, a tremolo tailpiece, and three metal strap pins, one at the top of the body, one at the bottom and one on the tailpiece. These guitars are very rare as there were only about forty-five of them made, including the “Four” and the “Twelve” models which are the bass and 12 string versions. After presenting the instruments at the 1967 Chicago NAMM show, Helland and Holman-Woodell ceased production, finding a lack of interest at the time, outside of Tommy James and the Shondells who played them very briefly. There was a resurgence of interest in the instrument after Devo was seen using the guitars in the late 1970s. These guitars are definitely cool looking and unique. This guitar is still in great shape and has stood the test of time. Description from VintageSilvertones.com

“(Hendrix College is) very much into the liberal-arts experience,” 21-year-old Jake Nurkin from Hattiesburg said. “My freshman year, I think it was in the spring semester, I took an introduction to computer science kind of class, and I really fell in love with it—with the way that coding works.”
