A few years ago, while I was on vacation just on the outskirts of the Portland metropolitan area, and on my way to the Oregon Coast, I happened to stop at a little music store to see what gems they might have (remember, I picked up a gorgeous 1981 ES 335 in a music store in a little town in Northern California). Well, making that stop was fateful because I found the VHT Special 6, a point-to-point, hand-wired, 6 Watt powerhouse that knocked my socks off!
Once I got home, I recorded this song with the amp, using my Les Paul ’58 Historic Reissue. It’s called “Beauty and the Burst,” and it’s a rocker.
The song itself is nothing technically masterful, but when I heard it again after all these years, I had to smile and ask myself, “Where the hell did you pull that one out of?” Enjoy!

Jim, you’ve triggered me putting together an instrumental album (along with a couple of vocal songs). I’ve got 13 songs right now, and will add a couple of more. Funny… didn’t know I had as many as I did. 🙂 Listened to the collection of the songs with my best friend on our way to a long weekend. It was a great road trip album. Thanks for pushing!
