He has someone working on it.and he will be back on line, as soon as his computer is repaired. He wants to know when are they going to put that big red easy button o...

I Agree with Don Sulesky. Jody should have been inducted into the fender hall of fame. And i think he should have been inducted before Bruce Springsteen.Jody did a lot of promoting for the Fender Equipment, I know because I did some road trips with him. That four neck was pretty heavy & the fend...

Jody I.m sorry about spelling your name wrong. My eyes are not that clear yet, since i had those cateracts taken out.Is that a good excuse or what? Ha Ha. Blue Spanish Eyes.Nice Song That Song.

Mike, Yes Jody & Myself are Dodger Fans & Fender Fanatics, but most of all we are fans of Mike Gross and his great Swingin west show.I never miss listening to Swingin West. And as our buddy Rick Martinez once said on the air, There is only one Mike Gross.

I remember those Brooklyn Dodger days, I lived about a half hour from Ebbets field in Greenpoint Brooklyn.Boy those were the days. In those days before transister radios , Every body was walking around with those big Zenith Radios listening to the Dodger game.Jody can tell you about that.

IHave Seen all of Jodys guitars and played them all,There is only one knight of fender tweed. So be it.End of story.I saw him play his four neck fender backwards once. Amazing

Both Dean Martin & Elvis, Have A Country CD that has no steel. I play along with them all the time.The Country Side Of Dean Martin & The Elvis Presley Collection--Country.And they never complain if i hit a wrong note.

I've been listening to Swingin West since Early 1980S,I Will Never give up the Ship.Ernest Tubb was right when he said it's the best music in the world.I also want to thank Rick Martinez For finding it on his radio & called me to tell me he found a guy in connecticut playing Western Swing. Mike ...

Ive Known Jody Carver since 1947, And every thing Ron Brennan says about him is a fact. (Brimstone And Fire)

Jody, Are you shure that book is ever going to get finished? Put some extra virgin olive oil on that project,& some hot peppers too .That usually works for me when i am working on something. Brocoli Rab is another good pusher also.

Mike, I Haven't Heard From You In A While.The New E Mail Address Doesn't Seem To be correct.It Wont Go Through. I heard you were in Texas.Would you please get in touch with me.

Bobee, Great Job on Tenderly, Great tone on that bigsby. An old friend of mine Artie Alifano in Albany New York has the same guitar.

Sandy, See if you can get Jody to finish his biography before i get to old.I think Frets Of My Life is the correct title.Dominick the barber keeps asking me about the book. Every time i go for a haircut,I noticed my haircuts are getting worse and worse.

I talked to jody for an hour on the phone today He said he has been pretty busy trying to finish up the book he is writing.He also said he has been playing his steel quite a lotlately.He asked me if I wanted to come over and jam with him.I told him i was too rusty. I haven't played for a while, but ...
