This goes back to 1989. One of my favorite pieces. This was done for the dual celebration of the official unveiling of the Aerosmithsonain at the Hard Rock Cafe + the official PUMP release party. Aerosmith played a good chunk of the new album PUMP live to an estimated crowd of about 150 VIP guest! (J. Giels, dudes from Boston, The Cars, totally crazy cool) Wicked amazing to see them in such perfect form rocking out in such an amazingly intimate setting! Yeah, my Guardian Angle has a backstage pass... I've also got the audio of me getting the above signed by Steven Tyler in between the MTV and Entertainment Tonight interviews. Stay tuned! Thank you Patrick Lyons, Elaine Wood and Steven Tyler - get well soon!
Probably the single most coolest party invitation I've yet to have had the privilege of creating!
I have the absolute most coolest friends and clients in the world. If not for my relationship with Richard Turner and his staff at his Redbone Guitar Boutique I'd probably never have the chance to have dinner, drinks and seriously hang out with folks like Brian Ray and Rusty Anderson, Sir Paul McCartney's wingmen and guitar players. Again, thank you Richard!
Peace,
Migwell

From the movie "Surf Party", Colorado's own fabulous Astronauts play their song "Firewater"
The designer, engineer and inventor would found the Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing Company, the banner under which he created and produced the first wave of commercially successful electric guitars, basses and amplifiers. Fender’s panache for instrument design reached its pinnacle with his work on the Telecaster guitar, the Fender Precision bass and, most famously, the Stratocaster, the musical instrument that was the central force in defining rock ‘n’ roll in the 1950s and ’60s, and whose influence continues to dominate every genre of popular music.
Leo Fender didn’t invent the electric guitar. Six-string slingers had been experimenting with rudimentary amplification systems since the early decades of the 20th century. Always itching for more volume, guitarists were eager to be heard above the drums and other loud instruments in the dance bands of the time.
The first real innovations toward electric axes, however, came with the awarding of two patents for magnetic pickups. The first went to Gibson’s Guy Hart for his company’s Hawaiian guitar design on July 13, 1937, and the second went to Rickenbacker’s George Beauchamp for his horseshoe magnet pickup design featured on his company’s lap steel “frying pan” guitars, on August 10, 1937 — coincidentally, Fender’s 28th birthday.
Read the whole thing over at: Wired Magazine's This Day In Tech. And the next time you're in Olmos Park check out the nice selection of Fender guitars and then some over at Redbone Guitar Boutique.

Ok, flashback...
So, it's 1992 and my buddy Kevin Paetzel, (a fellow Pixies, They Might Be Giants music freak and an amazingly talented copywriter currently working at the Richards Group in Dallas), so Kevin turns me on to this wicked awesome little album called Sweet Love by The Blanks from Houston, featuring Kevin's brother Karl, or Kar as he's know in context with the band. It was actually a cassette tape, not an album.
Sweet Love was produced, written, and performed by The Blanks, recorded at Drum Room Studios, Houston, Texas and Red Oak Studios, Austin, Texas and then mixed at Red Oak Studios, Austin, Texas.
My favorite/lucky numbers are 61 and 9 so I especially dig the fact that the album was finished on the 9th day of the 9th month of 1990.
Long story short, I fall in love with Sweet Love, and fall head over heels with the infectious and incredibly perfect song Sweet Sally! Sweet Sally, features both Kar and the sexy guest vocals of the mysterious Miss Red Sugar and has been stuck in my head for the last 17 years!
So, after sharing my love for Sweet Sally with Kevin who then told his brother Karl about it I was super stoked when Karl asked me if I wanted to contribute my version of Sweet Sally to a tribute album called Glory To The Blanks!
Sweet! Since my first listen I'd been trying to learn the song on my acoustic doing both the male and female vocals and so yeah, I'd love to try and record it!
So Karl comes in from Houston one weekend back in 1995 and we set up his 4 track recorder in my little tree house apartment on Thelma in Olmos Park and after a few beers and about an hour or so of recording we finished my contribution to Glory To the Blanks! This was before I came up with the name Tiki Bongo and so it's under the name Area 51 on the lp.
Anyway - I still totally dig the original Sweet Sally even more now and just this morning Karl sent me the long lost version of my take of Sweet Sally and so here it is in all it's lo-fi glory complete with whistling! I've also posted the priceless original Blanks version so you too can experience the magic of Sweet Sally! Enjoy!
The Blanks: Sweet Sally
Area 51: Sweet Sally
Thanks again to Kevin for sharing and Karl for including me!
Glory to: The Blanks!
