[from the webmaster] Here's a little blast from the past, I took this photo of Linda, Jay Jones (guitar) on Linda's left and Hank Hilton (drums) on Linda's right at a Tempe, Arizona "Brides" performance celebrating Earth Day in 1995 - click it for a larger image, this would have made a great gatefold LP cover back in the day!

Oxygene8 friend and photographer Bart Nagel posted this recently on his blog, we found it very interesting!

I was trolling through the archives again today and came across these photos: Frank Zappa with a guitar I made from a Gibson SG body. It features a new handmade neck and mother of pearl inlays, there are 23 frets instead of the usual 22 (proof that it's not a Gibson neck!) I also added a star to dot the "i" in the Gibson logo on the headstock. The body has bookmatched rosewood and ebony inlays in the front and back.
He bought it from me for $600 before his show at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix on July 17th 1974 (Tom Waits was the opening act). He gave me cash the next day when I came back to meet him for breakfast.

I'd heard later on that it was his favorite guitar, and he kept it even after an airline broke it in transit. According to my friend Eric White it is now in the collection of Dweezil Zappa.

The second photo--well that's the younger me with the maestro himself. These photos were taken some time in 1980.
