- WILLIAM'S WONDERFUL WORLD OF GUITARS. (A personal series of six string sentiments...)In William's World18 January 2021I may have posted this elsewhere, but this is me in the early '60s when I was guitarist in the Gibson Four group. I'm playing a Burns short scale 'jazz' model which was loaned to me while my Gibson 345 was back in America at the Gibson factory having a new neck fitted. I had suffered a fall from the stage due to receiving an electric shock at the soundcheck of a new cellar club venue at the old grammar school on Brook Street in Wakefield. The fall resulted in the guitar's original neck snapping off. I could have been killed by the electric shock if it wasn't for the quick foresight of the band's drummer who yanked the mains plug from the wall seconds before I hit the floor of the venue which had pools of water leaked from melting snow above the cellar. Luckily, my Dad had insured the guitar and the insurance covered the repair, which was quite costly, requiring the instrument to be shipped to America for fixing. Kitchen's music shop in Leeds, where my father had originally purchased the Gibson for me, supplied the Burns as a temporary replacement. It was nothing like the Gibson of course, but it was a 'beggars can't be choosers' situation. Actually, it wasn't a bad guitar and nowadays is quite a sought after and valuable instrument. By the way, that glittery, gold lame top I'm wearing was one of the group's stage uniforms and made by my mother. She made the whole group's stage wear for us, God bless her...23

It’s neat how new a lot of the technology was (portable cassette recorders) and pushing it beyond its prescribed limits opened up a whole new world of sonic possibilities. That, and they probably had a deadline to make.2

- LIFE IN THE AIR AGE...In William's World·17 May 2020Just watched this astonishing footage of the Graf Zeppelin's first leg of her around the world tour of 1929. The film opens with shots of New York from 1929, including a couple of wonderfully retro-futuristic cars. But the airship is gargantuan, dwarfing the men guiding it out of its hanger onto the field where it departs. There's something quaint and touching about the cabin window design which resembles the windows of a cottage or garden shed, but the wheelhouse windows look like something from a Dan Dare comic strip. This is just the first leg of the voyage and there is also footage available on youtube of the airship's return to New York. What a shame that this form of transport ended up becoming tragically dangerous. But, while it lasted it was magical... Here's the link so you can see for yourselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0sM5hMeqlo&feature=emb_rel_end23369
- Hank MarvinIn William's World·1 March 2021I recall Bill mentioning that Hank was an inspiration. It was great catching The Shadows on Sunday Night At The London Palladium (1965 vintage!) last night on Talking Pictures TV. They did an instrumental number before Cliff came on and Hank was TASTY! I can't see what model of guitar he's playing but it's a beauty! (and look at that backdrop!) Cheers!23234

- Butterflies.In World Outside The Window·27 September 2020My wife & I walk around our neighborhood almost every day, weather permitting. If we hit every street, it’s about 3.5 miles. In one yard just near the entrance, there are two trees close together. A vine is going up & around both the trunks, creating a dense amount of foliage. Walking by there the other day, I saw a Monarch butterfly going towards the trees. Then another. Then another. Looking over at the vines in the trees, there were dozens of Monarch butterflies in there. We’ve been able to observe them for three days straight. Today when we walked by, there were none. Obviously, they are migrating to Mexico. The blooms on the vine have likely become a feeding station for them. I’ve heard of the huge masses of Monarchs in some valleys in Mexico. This is about as close as we’ll get.2342

- PhotosIn World Outside The Window24 September 2023I'm glad you like the photo. That is a great idea. So much of The Strip has changed in the recent past. 😔The sunsets on Sunset series.😉 I wish I could do that. That picture was from a couple of years ago. The Roxy just turned 50.😳I wish I had pictures from all the terrific shows I have seen there growing up. https://www.sbsun.com/2023/09/19/the-roxy-at-50-grammy-museum-opens-new-exhibit-about-sunset-strip-club/I was at that Birthday Party show in 1983 mentioned in that article.. 😂 Lydia Lunch with a guitarist and a two track Teac reel to reel were the opening act. I wish I could remember the guitarist's name. I want to say Richard Thompson, but that doesn't sound right.🤷🏻♂️2
