GUITAR NATION & FABULOUS FRIENDS COME TO THE DGT!
Hello everyone! I'm so excited to bring you the news about the most unique feature
to ever grace the pages of this publication - Guitar Nation and Fabulous Friends!
Artist and musician, author Lou Anne Michel contacted us a couple months ago
and asked if we would consider looking at her original comic strip which included
all these amazing little guitar people characters. We were blown away! These
guys and gals all have their own personalities and quirks, but one thing they
share in common - they love to travel on the Tour Bus! Who doesnt, right?
I think that you the readers will enjoy getting to know all of Lou Anne's
delightful friends for years to come as much as I will. So, beginning
this month we will introduce to Party Patsy, Acoustical Robert and the
whole Guitar Nation cast! This is going to be a great adventure!!!
Life should be fun. Don't ya thnk?

" I don't know what happened to ol' Henry " says Eddy. " I was just playing my 'Concerto in F Minor ' and
he got all flustered cause he couldn't remember the Italian lyrics . I seen him in the green room without
the sun glasses and man, we're talking road atlas eyes ! Guy was some kinda hammered ! "

About my friend, Clyde....
I really dont want everone to think that I only write about people who have passed away because I love to write about life, all life.Life will
sometimes also include death, because death escapes no one. Some of the folks we have written about in here have had a profoud
influence on shaping my destiny, who I am and why I ever got involved in trying to help ther artists to suceed or even to develop a
stronger web presence and publicity. This time I want to share with you the story of just an ordinary guy who lived a normal life,
married and had a child, developed a business as an independent trucker and paid his taxes on time. But long before he
was all that, this man was a " smokin " hot guitar player! His name was Clyde, and he was my freind.

The Wrecking Crew movie is the absolute best music documentary I have ever seen and I highly recommend
that our readers go to the Wrecking Crew website and read all about it. This May I had the honor of attend-
ing the film at Seattle's now famous EMP ( Experience Music Project ) along with some elite producers,
engineers and members of the Audio Engineering Society. We met with producer Denny Tedesco
whose father, Tommy Tedesco was part of the core and driving force behind what was probably
the greatest Rock band ever! Playing on thousands of records for everyone from the Beach
Boys to Sonny & Cher, The Monkees, Frank and Nancy Sinatra and many more, the LA
based super-studio band who became known as the " Wrecking Crew " have helped
to influence pop music more than any other American recording entity, period!
For this reason I feel that every musician in the world who plays, writes and
performs or records music should see this film. For the latetst information
about the Wrecking Crew movie, please click the above picture and
you will be taken to the production company's website. In the near
future we will be talking with Denny Tedesco and bringing our
readers the whole story. Until then, please check out
THE WRECKING CREW!

I would like to bring your attention to something very serious which happens throughout society and certainly in the music industry and that is alcohol, tobacco and drug addiction. By now many of you know that this web magazine is about music, not politics and religion but in this case I feel this topicis relevant to address. I was recently approached by a non-profit organization called HelpNest.org after they had read one of our articles called "Keeping Your Head".
The following transcript will give you an idea of their mission statement. At this page bottom you will find their linked logo.
Thank you.
Bruce J Maier
HelpNest.org is charitable organization dedicated to helping people who are struggling with addiction and are looking for resources to get help. In addition, those who have completed treatment are always in need of resources to help them transition back into the mainstream of life. Our resources range from Treatment and detox centers to transitional housing and from transportation, employment, and education services to legal services, housing, and even transitional therapy. We are always looking to get as many resources as possible so that our visitors have as many options as possible. HelpNest works with individuals on a regular basis from all over the country who are in need of treatment and(or) transitional services.
