So....What Did I find at Grandma's Farm???

Damn, why didn't I find anything like that at my grandparent's house when they passed? Nothing but half a million books on Christianity and a few ruffs and cassocks from when my grandfather was a vicar. Hardly rock 'n' roll (although Lemmy's first band was called "the Rockin' Vicars").

Here is what I know. My uncle, who inspired me to play guitar, was in a band in the 60's and 70's. The band was named "Our Gang" and they played a lot of
bars and clubs in Ohio. They actually cut one album. My uncle was lead guitarist. He played a Gretsch first in the very early 60's and then a Les Paul Custom.
His main amp was a huge Kustom with the vinyl tuck and roll and this Princeton was his practice amp and also used for small gigs.

When he quit playing he stored everything at my Grandma's (his Mom). This is unfortunately the only item that was not sold off...

"My uncle, who inspired me to play guitar" ... and you now have one of his amps, that's WAY COOL!!!

I will for sure! It was so awesome to start digging through some buried stuff in a dark room and see just the side of it. I knew right
away it was an amp because of the shape. When I saw it was a Fender I was truly stoked! To find it was completely original was
all that much better!

...if it would have been his Les Paul Custom I may have fainted!
 
We found a dead person at grandmas. He was living in her carriage house for years and had rent recipes for the last 9 years. The grounds keeper rented it to him and collected $300 a month.
The police had no more questions, the grounds guy said that he was going to put the body in the Lake. The cops wish he would have because he was a really fat guy.
After that I hated going to see grandma. She was in those weird years, not really herself and smelling like the dog kennel. It didn't take a smart to figure this one out so I asked my dad. He thought she was sleeping in the kennel.

Any cool drag queen names up at that farm?
 
Great find & I'm sure your uncle would be stoked that its with you. You will be replacing the filter caps before powering it up wont you. '74,,, I was in my 2nd year of high school & badly wanting a guitar. Of course, my parents thought otherwise so I was playing brass. It would be a couple of years before I bought my own guitar. Congrats on the great find. Cheers
