They are big libs. Their stuff should be shared with the less fortunate.

What a coincidence, I picked up one just like that for $20 the other day!

After helping out some friends in the late 1980’s we loaded up their van after their performance (at The Chanel in Boston, now gone) and they went back inside. Their van got stolen, equipment and all.

Ever since then after I loaded up my drums I left. If I stayed in the club to support other bands after my set my drums stayed with me.

If the Pleasantville man would’ve stolen Anne’s buffet plate, he would’ve pulled back a bloody stump.

Libs or not, Nancy Wilson knows her guitars. Terrible for that to happen. Heart created some fine radio music maybe 30 years ago. The band got a little careless by setting the stage and leaving their instruments behind the night before their performance .
The name of the thief is being concealed for whatever reason.

They want to steal my Gibson D-28? Them’s fightin’ words. Maybe one day I’ll be good enough to be worthy of playin’ it... at my age I doubt it though.

In a documentary of BB King’s career he was asked about his beloved and famous Gibson guitar Lucille, the Gibson ES-345 made for him

He said actually there have been more than one Lucilles, partly because on some occasions he would be in a room with friends or being interviewed and in the next room someone he knew and had access, stole his valuable guitar. Gone when King returned for the guitar.

This man found one of the stolen guitars in a pawn shop.

Another story:
“He gave the Pope one of his “Lucilles” as a “symbol of respect.” “For me, it was a very emotional experience. Being close to him is like approaching a source of spiritual energy. I gave him my guitar as a sign of respect,” said King, as reported by El País.”


I saw BB King in person only once. It was true what Joe Bonamassa said, that Bonamassa could work and strain to achieve something with his playing and then next on stage would be BB King, who would stretch one note with such feeling that the whole crowd would be captivated and share that feeling of the blues togther. Just one note.”

Sorry to hear about this and glad an arrest was made and hope they recover it all. These idiots that steal this stuff don’t always realize that often the instruments are easily identifiable which makes them harder to fence.

Thank God! But please, don’t feel that you need to hurry with deporting invaders.

Irreplaceable instruments? The pawn shop is full of them.
