This is a portrait of my vintage Washburn "Washington J9" guitar that I acquired a few years ago in Toronto.   

I was there, invited by Ronnie Wood, to see the Rolling Stones rehearsing.  

I spent six days watching the boys playing in the basement of an abandoned TV Studio.  

Keith was the one who inspired me.  I could not take my eyes off of him.  

Between each song, he was pouring himself a drink from the bottle of Jack Daniel's sitting on a little table next to him.  

They were playing 30 to 40 songs every night.  That should tell you how many glasses went down and how many bottles were killed.  

When I came back home with my guitar, I set up a little table and a bottle of Jack near my Marshall Amp.

Then I put "Can you hear me knocking" on the CD player and spent a few nights playing it Loud and Elegantly Wasted .
