2 of my favorite people - My wife Elsie and our dear friend Alan Mills.

Congratulations to our good friends Monique Mills and Lloyd Mills on the
birth of their first child. BabyTed sporting his first TNM blanky.

Walt Rogers was one of the lucky ones to have a genuine Mosrite Special
Doubleneck built for him in 1961. As with most of Semie's cusom guitars
when they returned to him for adjustment or repair he would do a complete
udate on them as he did in 1966 for Walt's as well. Thanks Walt for sharing
these great photos with us.
              
                 
                 
                 

NASHVILLE, TN - January, 2013 - Our good friend Lloyd Mills visiting from the UK

What a treat to play through. Someday I'll have one of these. Lloyd now has
the perfect combo - The mighty "Maphis" TNM and the fabled Standel Amp.
(Nice T-Shirt)
