    Just watching Larry sort out that G string issue was a lesson in itself. Thanks for sharing.

    ❤ this popped up again, Justin. I loved that you were on here and your joy from being with Tom is so evident. You’re a good kid. I’m coming to Nashville again in December on the 20th for a birthday show at third and Lindley, try to come in if you’re able I would love that

    For me, one of the best things about this video is the look of joy on your face as you are listening to Uncle Larry play. The smiles while you're nodding your head to the music warmed my heart and conjured up thoughts of how great it must be to spend some time in that kitchen and get a first hand taste of what Uncle Larry's cooking up!!! Best of luck to you Justin!!

    That wasn't his cherry special he favors tho. Didn't know he also had a white one. Great shootout. I've been weighing which to get myself. An SG Spec or LP Spec. I find SG's more comfortable to play sitting down, which I do a lot. So that plays into it. Wider body.
