New use for cool license plates, Ukulele by Owen Burke

in the county fair wood working area

Morris Minor hubcap guitar and Seasick Steve on Top Gear, cut to minute 5:50

And if you are impressed with his bit of music, you'll be blown away with waht he can do with a one string diddley-bow. A 2x4 and and amp, that's about it. He's got the music in him, and that is all he needs.

Nethercutt Museum Displays

 

The following are only a sample of the many display cases

This is an inlay on a coffee table at the museum

"A Touch to Much" tribute truck to AC/DC... with working Marshall amp and smoke machine, and amazing airbrushed panels

Original designs include:
•A Sonor drum pedal for the accelerator
•Ahead drum sticks for turn signal and Tilt actuators
•Paiste cymbal for switch plate
•Roc N Soc drum thrones for seats
•Shure microphone head for shifter knob
•Coffin mic case for shifter console
•Gibson guitar knobs for door openers

The above airbrushed piece amazes me that is so perfectly recreates a cutting torch burning through the door panel from the inside

The key fob guitar pick, small detail, great idea

The following designs are presently in varied stages of costruction:
•Highway Star / Smoke on the Water - our tribute to Deep Purple
•Nights in White Satin - our tribute to the Moody Blues
•Delicate Sound of Thunder - our tribute to Pink Floyd
•"NOTHING ELSE MATTERS" - tribute to Metallica

Amazing Grace by Andre Rieu

Rusty Chevrolet by the Yoopers... getting you in the Christmas mood with car stuff!

Skip the first 45 saeconds, they are trying to relate how hard it is to find and dig your car out of the blizzard snow



If you are from the deep snow North like me (yooper) you can relate, and if you enjoy the easy going humor of this bunch of snow bound, beer drinking, deer hunters, here's another song "My Car Won't Go" but the band never made a video for it, this one was added to the song by someone who felt the pain of lots of snow and no way to get traction

Snow chains useful for more than traction...

they were used as percussion in the song Nowhere to Run by Martha and the Vandellas

Heard at the 9 second mark, and every 2 seconds after. Learned about this on KRTH Los Angeles Fm radio

Buddy Miles and his stars and stripes Harley trike

Buddy was the drummer that worked a lot with Jimi Hendrix from 1964 - 1969, and was the drummer for the "Band Of Gypsies" in 1969 and 1970 that Jimi had when he split with his management who were getting too controlling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Miles
