"Reader, I married her." You play guitar better than I do.  |

That image of Duane Allman and James Taylor reminds me of this yarn: It was the last game of the Milwaukee Braves' season, all of the other relief pitchers had been used for a double header, and Mel Famey had driven to the park with his car full of cans of a product Milwaukee had become known for. Truth be told, he was pretty nervous before the game, because he knew he would be called on in the late innings. When he started to pitch in the 9th, he ended up loading the bases, and then walking in the winning run for the other team. As the players from the winning team went out to the parking lot outside the stadium after the game, congratulating themselves over beating the Braves' ace reliever, one of them noticed Mel's car practically buried in empty beer cans. One of them exclaimed, "Hey! That must be the beer that made Mel Famey walk us!" |

Kern Carlson and I about 1973. He had a hell of a voice. So did his older brother Lenus Carlson. Look him up. |

The fellow to the right would be young Marty, playing what looks like a Guild F-50.

Kern and his Martin D-41, me Guild F-48 mahogany b/s. Quite rare as it was only made for 3 years. |

It was getting too large to get my shoulder over so I sold it. I moved to OM-000 sized guitars. Kern died in 2005 due to liver problems, too much Schlitz beer. |
