Scripture of the Day



Video of the Day - submitted by Darin

Video of the Day - #2 - following a conversation with long-time reader/commenter, Cap'n Jack, I was compelled to add this truly amazing performance.

Video of the Day - #3 - THEN, I found this incredible guitar performance by a very young Korean girl and deemed it requisite to include it today also!

Video of the Day - #4 - THEN, I happened upon this video of my old friend (whom, however, I have not seen in about 20 years), Joe Bonamassa at the tender age of 12—jamming with Danny Gatton and decided it must be offered here today as well! The audio and video quality are certainly poor, but it is amazing seeing a 12-year-old Bonamassa play with such ease and apparent joy!

Video of the Day - #5 - THEN, I decided I simply must include a video of Bonamassa—grown and having swapped his Fender Stratocaster for a Gibson Les Paul!

Imagine my surprise when I encountered this scene at Walmart while journeying to my office this morning! Click to enlarge.
