Some have to do this to just pay their rent.
Hopefully your a franchise owner, maybe then in a year you’ll have some choices.
Thank you, very much!
The artist was a great friend of mine who was a great artist but an even better human being! Ed Mell lived in Scottsdale and created the huge sculpture (Jack Knife) in old town Scottsdale (the center of the art district).
Our mutual friend (Nils Lofgren) used a rather similar Mell for the cover of his most recent album. Nils owns that Mell.

Nils Löfgren is, in my mind the best living guitarist in the world. I have a few of his albums and I would have known about Mountains if I wasn’t in a life changing move, location wise. In regards to the artist, is Ed Mell still with us?Thank you, very much!

No, the world was ripped off! Ed passed last February (2024) from his second round of cancer. It happened very quickly and I’m still very depressed!
Here’s a pic of Ed and another guitarist with one of the three Jack Knife paintings. At the time, Billy told Ed it was going to be his next LP cover. I doubt that happens now.
I spent some time listening to a few records and then decided to realign and adjust my Koetsu Black for s**** and giggles. It was pretty spot-on before but I wanted to see if I could squeak out just a little more performance. Only listened to a couple of cuts after the realignment. So far so good no monumental changes but I didn't expect there to be. I'll give it a deeper listen tomorrow.
Huge bummer, my brother also passed from cancer in February of ‘24. He played bass for U2 tribute band 2U. I guess we’ll never see the cure from this country!
Cleaned what many folks lovingly call, "The Bell".
