Terrific performance and funny.
A slightly Marvinesque face too!

Thanks for posting that Jim, it got my day off to a great start; keeping in mind of course we're 5 hours behind you lot!
That is some seriously great guitar playing - and a lot of fun too.

He's absolutely amazing and the guys with him were no slouches either.

nice one Jim!

Those contemporary era guitars on that LP cover could only have been made in Europe- the archtop with flat simple cutaway, non-fixed bridge, trapeze tailpiece and open headstock reflect Selmer/Maccaferri styling. Were they all Egmond models I wonder, as the two pickup job was an Egmond/Rosetti model...?

The Thorell of Frank Vignola, and the similar handmade Mike Vanden guitar (Martin Taylor uses these) with similar modern made designs reflect this European style rather than the American Gibson traditional style.
