Attending Roberto-Venn School not only taught me to build guitars, but also introduced me to legendary roadie Joe Vallee, who splits his time teaching and teching for the Doobies. When I heard that the Doobies were opening for ABB I gave Joe a call. Yesterday I drove out to Indio to catch the show and brought my latest guitar "Gentle Jack" with me to show Joe.
Here's Joe checking Skylark's nice Alembic Bass:
Pat's Rig:
Tom and John's Rigs:
ABB Meet and Greet:
Greg's rig:

Joe liked my guitar so much, here put it in the tuning room for the guys to see:
Next goes Pat:
After trying it out, Pat surprises me by:
Playing it during the show! Be still my F'in Heart!
And after the show:
Great guys, Great Night
