Well, we are finally doing just that to our website (now that we have entered the 21st Century with Facebook, Twitter, etc.)
This is a sample of the new clean look with up-to-date features and even more content to come...which makes us 'content', and hopefully you, too! :-)
Special thanks to our Web Gurus who are working overtime lately, our daughter Gina and her fiance Karl Cossio of Kymera Studio. :-)
BENEDETTO IN NASHVILLE NAMM!

MATT'S MANHATTAN MYSTERY MUSIC
I know, I know, that is a bit of a dramatic caption but I love the alliteration...
But we still pose the question: What is the name of this Mystery Chord?
(Seriously, we don't know so we hope you do!!) :-) [where is Howard Alden when we really need him!]
p.s. What is no mystery though is how beautiful the Opulent Brown MANHATTAN he is playing is (Serial #S1776...a very good year!)...and Matt Eady is our Master Finisher so he knows a thing or two about Fab Finishing Finesse!
(That really was a long way around just to show off this guitar, wasn't it :-) )
BUCKY PIZZARELLI - A LIFETIME ACHIEVER!
Duquesne University is presenting their prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award to Bucky Pizzarelli this summer...more on that shortly!
Don't despair, there are more Bob's Boutique Beauties and more to come ;-)
BRAVO!
Bravo to Savannah's own, very talented Jackson Evans - if you are in the area, try to make it for his upcoming Jepson Center for the Arts concert June 24th!

While (feverishly!) working on the new site re-design, came across this great photo - I remember it as if it was yesterday. :-)

Oh What a Night!
MIDNIGHT ON MONDAY
A Bambino One-off in Midnight Black (or one of our other out-of-this-world finishes)...something to start off the week dreaming about ;-)
