My Stratocaster, "Vincent"

The guitar featured on my Cars-n-Guitars.com homepage is none other than my personal favorite Strat, "Vincent". It's named after the famous (or infamously-legendary) Vincent "Black Shadow" motorcycle of the early 1950's. The nick-name "Blackie" was already taken. Much thanks to Jim Dennis, owner of the Carrboro Music Loft in N. Carolina for bring this wonderful instrument to my attention. Does anyone out there share my preference for black Fender Stratocasters? (silly question) More images to come!

1960 Olds Dynamic 88

I just love walking around exploring a new town (with my camera handy) and finding a gem like this parked at the curb looking just as natural as can be, even though it's over 50 years old. This shot was taken in Charleston, SC in the historic district (of course). What a great looking ride!

Cars N Guitars: Me and Peter Egan

Hello there!

So, here is the first entry to my new Blog that will hopefully support my new website, Cars-n-Guitars.com.

The inspiration for this on-line adventure comes from none other than Road & Track, Editor-at-large, Peter Egan (and of course my life-long interest/love affair with both Cool Cars and Beautiful Guitars). For years, Mr. Egan has been writing about his automotive experiences behind the wheel, under the hood, beneath the oil pan and occasionally just hanging-out in his garage (beverage in hand) admiring his latest four-wheeled infatuation. Peter also manages to slip-in some mention of his current Stratocaster guitar and trusty old Fender Deluxe-Reverb amp or some poignant musical metaphor to spice up his already brilliant monthly column.

There's always something in that "Side Glances" column that I can relate to since we seem to share the same taste in both Cars ...and Guitars. To me Peter Egan has The Dream Job!?! (or would that be Jeremy Clarkson?) Anyway, for a while ...it's my turn to have some fun. "Laissez les bons temps rouler!"
Please join me at  www.Cars-n-Guitars.com  when you have a chance.

Cars-n-Guitars is still under construction, but I'll try to keep it interesting over the next few weeks. Stay tuned!
