I got to the Gibson Guitar tent for a private party and performance.
An amazing show featuring 14-year-old guitar virtuoso Nick Sterling - http://www.nicksterling.com.
That was followed by Ike Turner (yes, the wife beater), who did a smoking performance.
Finally it was a treat to see a 90-year-old Les Paul (the creator of the electric guitar and the Les Paul guitar's namesake) perform live.
Hopping onstage was Journey's Neil Schon, to jam with Les and the band.
It was an early birthday party for Les, and he loved to be playing.
Apparently Les suffers from severe arthritis, and still is able to amazingly play, albeit with two fingers.
After that, I went over to LA to shoot photos of singer Challece at the Whisky-A-Go-Go.
Then back to the SF Bay Area to the MacWorld Expo at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, to see what new Macintosh's were coming out.
THEN... the Fancy Foods gourmet foods show, also at the Moscone in SF, to sample some great new goods.
Quite the amount of traveling.
Here's the clincher.. Through my trip down to LA, over to Vegas, back to LA, and back to SF...
I went through the following:
- 6 snowdrifts
- 6 rainstorms (one a major thunderstorm)
- 5 thick fog banks
- ONE sunny break in a day
- a flood at the CA/NV border that looked like a major lake
- and some drizzles.
Don't forget the mudslides, but I didn't get caught in them.
Adventure is my middle name.
