Padre Chris Doering comes into the studio with his guitar and a twelve pack of beer and by the way, he is a giant of a man.

Episode 55 - Dave and Megan Johnson aka Aug 13, 2007

Show notes

Dave and Megan are two thirds of the band Scale Model. This show is unplugged and we had a great time making it. I have also had the aural pleasure of seeing their band "Scale Model" live at The Abbey Pub here in Chicago. You must catch them live. They put on a great show. \nI first met Dave when I took in my beloved 1980 Guild D-50 to Avenue N Guitars on North Ave (avenuenguitars.com). in Chicago for repairs and a setup. Suffice it to say that I have brought him all my guitars since then. Dave also builds both solid and hollow body guitars through his company Scale Model Guitars. \nYou can find out more about Dave and Scale Model at www.scalemodelmusic.com and of course www.myspace.com/scalemodel \nEnjoy the show!!! \nWebsite: www.scalemodelmusic.com\n

Sam Saunders and "The Sam Saunders Machine" are a kick ass rock and roll band making big waves in Chicago.

When John came into the studio carrying 3 guitars I knew we were in store for a treat.\n Johnand#39;s bio reads like a PhD resume.

They play together as "The Northside Southpaws", a totally left-handed, totally reso-phonic mandolin/guitar duo.\n You can see John and Matt live on July 13th at The Fizz Bar Grill 8 PM, then at Two-way Street Coffee House in Downers Grove July 20th 8 PM, July 23rd 8 PM with Maddox at Kopi Cafe in Chicago, July 27th 8:30 PM John Solo at the Fixx Coffee Bar, and July 28th 9 PM Solo at Uncommon Ground in Chicago.\n This man is a genius on the guitar and is an absolute Joy to listen to.
