Semie & his three neck:



Moseley, who built guitars for the Los Angeles-based Rickenbacker company, said to his co-workers that he was making his own product, and he was fired by Rickenbacker.

1927

1927... now you're talking my language. I actually didn't know the little portable phonographs like that went back to 1927. Columbia's table-top models from that period are supposed to sound great, playing the label's electric viva-tonal discs. Wish I had one.

Hmm. Some of the Columbia label's artists in 1927 would be Ben Selvin, Ted Lewis, Vernon Dalhart, The California Ramblers, Harry Reser's Syncopators, Ruth Etting, Ethel Waters, Fletcher Henderson, Warner's Seven Aces, The New Orleans Owls, Clara Smith, The Charleston Chasers (Red Nichols version), Earl McDonald's Jug Band, Fred Rich, Lee Morse, and for comic interludes, Moran and Mack.

The Grateful Dead are notable for 2 things:

1. The psychopathic, Trekkie-like loyalty of their fan base

2. The artwork they iinspired:
