Fred Newell's "Nashville Now" Gibson Howard Roberts

Fred Newell's "Nashville Now" Gibson Howard Roberts

During Fred Newell's tenure as staff guitarist for TNN's "Nashville Now" program, he played many flashy, custom-built guitars, but this 1989 Gibson (inventory #EH5319) tops them all.

Connoisseurs of Gibson art guitars will recognize the work of Greg Rich, who had been creating dazzling works of art in Gibson's Custom Shop for a little over a year when this guitar was made.

The basic model is a Gibson Howard Roberts with a custom sparkle blue finish on the back, sides and neck. The entire front of the guitar, including the pearloid fingerboard, is adorned with scenes from Nashville, and the pickup covers are gold-plated and engraved.

This instrument was featured in a Gibson calendar, and that calendar, plus a letter from Newell, is included. This historic piece of Nashville (Opryland and "Nashville Now" no longer exist) comes with a hard case and is priced at $9,500.

For further enjoyment...

Red Sovine Le petit garçon et le routier (Teddy Bear)

<br /><b><a href="http://betaplayer.dailymotion.com/video/xccv95_red-sovine-le-petit-garçon-et-le-ro_music">Red Sovine Le petit gar&ccedil;on et le routier (Teddy Bear)</a></b><br /><i>Uploaded by mrjyn. - Watch more music videos, in HD!</i>

Le petit garçon et le routier was always repulsed and attracted to Red Sovine’s ballad weeper Teddy Bear. If you’re not familiar, it’s a classic CB era country tune about “a young paraplegic boy whose semitrailer truck-driving father had been killed in a road accident, and is left with a CB radio to keep him company.”

Not a whole lot of information to find on the “singer” Jacques Hourdeaux. It appears that he penned several tunes for the likes of Brassens, Sacha Distel, Dalida and Sheila. More info on him if I find it.

GTS Links

Maxcat's Giantess Realm

(sadly) only available by Wayback Machine) I'll try to provide a link at some point

Maxcat's site was the first GTS sites I came upon, and I've been good friends with him for a long time. Back in my lurking days he taught me how to start collaging, traded GTS clips, and so on and so forth. I've always had an affinity for his fantasy-style collages as well, so pay his site a visit or you get no pie.

G-ZONE.

I love anime GTS so I check this site quite often. I was going to help in translating the page to English around October of 2002, but then X-virus (the guy who runs the site) stopped answering my e-mails, so it looks like I get to make my own anime GTS index. C'est la vie.

HIK.

What do you get when you combine the Japanese fondness for drawing with a well designed page filled with gigantic females? This site, which I really like.


Regular ol' Links

The New York Times My favorite web page when it comes to news. Great, in-depth articles that are a rarity here in the US of A thanks to "talking head info-tainment" news.

BBC News.

Not quite as in-depth as the New York Times but they more than make up for it with their vast international news coverage, which is fantastic considering I like to know what's going on outside of Texas' and the USA's borders.

Anandtech.

One of the better tech sites out there. Very informative and comprehensive articles as well as regularly updated news keeps the inner nerd in me satiated.

Toon Zone.

Yeah, I'm a cartoon nerd and I like to read up on them, and this site is definitely my favorite of all the lot.

Fat-Pie.com.

Mere words can not describe what is contained here, so go see for yourself.

Know of a site, GTS or regular, that you feel should be added to this page o' links? Contact me by clicking right here and telling me. Keep in mind that if I don't agree with how the site is run, be it yours or just some site you stumbled across, or if I simply don't like it, I won't add it and might be rather blunt about it. Keep this in mind if you decide to drop me a line.
