its all so very caucasian there! haha, I wonder if my Kollman and Lyon side of the family emigrated there from Germany. Always wanted to do a family tree study without the help of the mormons ancestry geneology website knowing my business.

I've got news for you.

They know your business already. The Mormon genealogy records are some of the most extensive in the world.

Not mine dude, I am so off grid you have noooo idea. Like even my name, Tavo Vega is a name I found on a tombstone in a Gypsy graveyard in Joelton Tenn one night on a full moon at a bonfire while drinking bootleg moonshine by a goat farmer I met in a holler

57 when I'm not rounding up . . it's a Double Annie in an unusual color

All original. Here are the tan lines

It has a little bit of binding rot but otherwise no issues

Very cool... that's another example of the rarely seen metallic blue finish found on Annies, which typically fades to a gold hue over the decades. Cool to see those tan-lines that certify the original color. The three others I've documented all come from the 1966 model year and have serial numbers that fall between #10460 and 10470. Does this one fall in that range somewhere (or close)?

That was such a cool day, walking around the neighborhood with Fred G. and Joe C. Here another photo of the video be shot (by Paul). And look... a Proteus sighting!!

This one is 106008. Happy to take some high quality snaps if you'd like to include it in your 60s book

I'm sorry that I don't have Part 1, folks. Maybe someone else may have it and post it for us.

Thank you for posting!! Parts 4 5 and 6 are set to "private" though and can't be accessed

 

[duojet55]

Thanks for letting me know. I just changed 4, 5 and 6 to Public (at least I hope it did!). Let me know if you still can't access them.

Perfect, looks good now, thanks! Any idea what year this was?

Just got done with the videos, thanks for posting! Loved it! So great there was vintage Gretsch owner on hand. Amazing that those guitars returned to the building where they were made decades before.

I’m fortunate enough to have this 1966 Chet Atkins Nashville that was born on Broadway.

Fred G gives me vibes of the artist Alex Grey.
