Flat Stanley

Nephew Taylor from Jonesboro, AR has a Flat Stanley project going on at his school, and he sent his Flat Stanley to Nashville. See for yourselves:

Here's Flat Stanley with Ed Beaver (left) and Mark Easterling (other left). Ed builds the guitars and Mark plays the hell out of them. Mark can actually (well... very probably) tell you on what date back in 1953 Leo Fender decided on changing tone pot manufacturer. His tone is insane. I've learned a lot from these guys.

This is Flat Stanley chilling out with Steve Cochran, aka Slip, who is also attempting to be flat, at least for the occasion. Steve is another great friend and a hell of a soundman who works for Meyer Sound. He also knows his way around 4-wheelers quite well. This guy also started calling me Headley, which obviously stuck. He claims that it was inspired by the movie Blazing Saddles, after Headley Lamar, which I accepted. Then I looked on top off our Prevost tourbus and saw that the air horns are made by a company called Hadley. Hhhhmmmmm................ Slip??

Randy Gabbard knows more about tube amps than you and me, put together. He's responsible for many awesome pedalboards that float around Nashville. He also speaks English quite well, but he's not so good at German. Ich musse Pee-pee machen!

Flat Stanley is welcome in STL also if he'd like to visit. How's his German?
