Doing Things Wrong

Lake Street Dive

Here's a band that deserves a lot more attention:

David Letterman positively gushed over this band.
He's usually pretty snarky with the musical guest.
Too bad that video was taken down.

If you ask me, these guys are hogging up way too much talent, they should leave some for other people !!!


This is the very first guitar I ever built, a hot-rodded version of the old Silvertone 1457. This guitar uses every passive wiring trick in the book. Four - count 'em - four lipstick pickups, wired in series. Six-way pickup selector, and two phase switches. The neck is from AllParts, I paid way too much for it. The finish is glittery acrylic lacquer from the auto parts store. The knobs are from Radio Shack - remember them?
