Band rehearsal. I’m playing my go-to guitar: a G&L Comanche in honeyburst with a pearloid pickguard. #gandl #gandlguitars #comanche #leofender #fender #guitar #electricguitar #band #livemusic #rehearsal #music #muscian #guitarist #makingmusic

Lenny William and “Choosing You” (1977). One of the benefits of record collecting is finding diamonds in the dirt. I didn’t know much about Larry Williams when I found this album in the $1 bin, but his effortless upper register and upbeat lyrics remind me of a young Al Green and are getting this Monday off it a great start. #larrywilliams #soul #soulmusic #randb #randbmusic #vinyljunkie #vinyl #vinyladdict #vinylrecords #vinyljunkie #vinylporn #vinylcollector #vinylcollection #record #records #recordcollector #recordcollection #albumcover #album #lp
