Happy Birthday to Roger! He once asked to use a picture of me wearing his LIMITED EDITION shirt. The picture was of me in the studio with the Gas Giants. I was honored. We also talked at length about our Rickenbacker 12 strings. #rogermcguinn #legend #birthday #thebyrds

Happy Birthday to George!

ROGER McGUINN in Elgin, IL Jingling and jangling

I took a long ride out to Elgin, IL tonight to see Rock N' Roll Hall of famer and friend ROGER McGUINN in concert at the HEMMENS CULTURAL CENTER. Roger and THE BYRDS have had a huge influence on my playing and music over the years and this is why I own a McGuinn 12 string Rickenbacker guitar. You can really hear his influence on my song "James Byron Dean" on RICK GOLDSCHMIDT SINGS. Roger played a great show and used a variety of guitars and musical styles.

TURN, TURN, TURN

This was a picture Roger wanted to use on his website, because I am wearing his ROGER McGUINN LIMITED EDITION polo shirt. I call the shot GAS GIANTS 2, because ROBIN and PHILLIP were in a band with another guy called the GAS GIANTS shortly after the GIN BLOSSOMS disbanded.

No flash photography at the show, so I wasn't able to get any good pictures BUT the back stories that Roger told were very interesting about his days with THE LIMELIGHTERS, CHAD MITCHELL TRIO and BOBBY DARIN...before THE BYRDS.
