    J 185, one of Kalamazoos' finest creations.
    The fine composition about your maternal grandma took me back to my Polish Grandma. What I would give to be helping her load the clay crock with cabbage and such, setting the wood plank and rock on top for her homemade sauerkraut. I was in a band with a bunch of northside Flint Michigan fellas, our bass player 'Nazz' had an Afro so big, he was about 6"3". We would show up hungry and dazed. Our trumpeter Michael always had the most bloodshot eyes you ever saw.
    She would feed us all cabbage and noodles, cabbage rolls and Angle wings till we were bursting. All she saw were hungry people and loved us though we were a bunch of tripped out hippie jam masters. Just love Lemmo, like your lovely musical sojourn. Thanks!

    Lemmo should definitely upload his guitar of the day melodies and songs to Spotify and other streaming services. I have a feeling they would blow up

    My dad has one of these....he bought it in 1958 to use as his everyday player for the band he was in at the time. Still has the original case, too, though it's in rough shape. It's gorgeous, and it'll be passed down to my son when the time comes.

    @lorenzolotti6295 3 роки тому

    I have the feeling that my 1980's Korean guitar would kick this one ass. For me mine sounds fuller. As always lemmo could play an ironing board and make it pleasant, but anyway sound is not always related to brand.
