The Gibson...

Here's another guitar for ya...


I was playing this "Black Beauty" whilst I was in Kent, Uk last year - my friend Phil generously let me use it for several months. I loved it so much I decided to buy it off him! Hopefully my sister Rosemary will be able to bring it over when she visits in June. Can't wait...to see Rose AND the guitar of course...

It is, of course, a lovely Gibson Les Paul Custom. It plays beautifully and sounds great. It's very solid and rather heavy but has tons of character. Is a few years old but has been looked after well and looks very swish!

Moths? I've seen none...but my son James caught one whilst he was playing street hockey a couple of evenings ago. Sounded like a Spring Cankerworm Moth - way to go James! I have a photo of one on one of my April posts from last year if you'd like to take a look...

    Hi David. Welcome back. You didn't miss much last summer and fall in terms of moths. Seemed like every night was cold and raining and when it was warm we had a big bright full moon. Just saw a spring cankerworm moth tonight which brought me to your page (thanks for the ID).

    My wife was telling me about the most beautiful orange lepidoptera she saw in our backyard on a warm day some weeks back and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it might be--what's orange this time of year? Well, I just saw your photo of the Infant moth from last year. Now, I have to cope with the disappointment of not having seen and photographed it.
