Homeskoolin’ Bonus…”Jeddy Unitas”

Just when i thought this magical Sunday where i went 4-0 on NFL bets couldn’t get any better, just imagine my joy when the pride of Quorn, Jedd Hughes, showed up my door at midnight last night….i told him he could crash here at my crib for the week while he is in town making a record.

I have been waiting patiently to hear him extract magic tone from the ‘38 bone like only he can, and i promptly put it in his hands within the first five minutes he was here.

You may have guessed, your crazy uncle is an avid football and baseball card collector since the age of 8….

this little vignette shows four of my heroes…Nitschke and Unitas from the lovely red and blue bordered ‘71 Topps football set (one of my personal alltime favorite sets)…a ‘73 Topps Dick Butkus “action card”….and some other guy holding a guitar.

Thanks for supporting the channel lads…and thank you for the continuing positivity regarding the Plexi Soul record.

Hey Tom, thanks so much for turning us on to Jedd. Love his YT channel now too.

Got to hear our dear Uncle at work down the halls today. Be jealous, it was majestic. May have spied some tasty Yuengling in the break room. 🤣 Would never bother you at work, but will shamelessly admire from down the hall! You’re a gift and inspiration! 🙏

Wow, so many diamonds between the chords... Jedd is gold.

What a great surprise, Jedd in the shed at Uncle Larry's, the sunshine of my day. Great sound again Jedd, you are a very tasteful and soulful player. Nice going guy's, would like to see you do something together.

Congrats Uncle Larry on your NFL sunday!. This will show my dreaded age, but i had the sheer joy in High School when Johnny Unitas and some of the Colts came to our school and played "Donkey Basketball" with our FB Team....you would have loved it!

[jseptoski]

Nice cards. As a lifelong fan of the Chicago Bears I have a huge amount of love for Dick Butkus. He was on the sports radio the other day, he is not pleased with the way the Bears are playing. None of us are.

[andymoss]

Subscribed to jeddi the guitar guy because of your recommendation and you weren't lying. Hell of a player. Good day uncle Larry

[jordandangelo]

Man I could listen to this master of the acoustic play all day long. His right hand technique looks like an ability that something that cannot be taught but a talent he was born with and developed over the years. Uncle Larry, Gordon and Jedd all share this trait. Damn I would love to hear an instrumental album with those 3 players on it. The Nashville Session Men at Work.

Thanks for this lovely vignette, Tom. And thanks for introducing us to Jedd.
I've been thinking about your Muse. PLEASE do whatever you need to do to protect it; its priceless.

[monstroguitars]

Alright Jedd is back in Nashville. Good to see that

[tratko]

Wow Jedd in the Shedd at Uncle Larry's crib...plus some outstanding football cards from the greats I recall as an old dude! Great, soulful sound, Jedd, thanks for sharing your sublime talent!

[JiminTennessee]

Sweet soulful sounds right there. And some fine cinematography too Tom. Cheers boys 👍

[jonnybeck]

Good beer, football cards, bubblegum and Martin "D's"...
It ain't gonna get more American than that!!!

[wizaxed]

That was some tasty acoustic playing for sure!!

[billyweeksrealsmallclosetm]

an unexpected treat. enjoy your visit together. never enough mate time.

[blakejones]

Always a good time to be had with a Yuengling.

[chrismattsonmusic]

Very nice !!! Glad to see, and hear, that Jedd made to Nashville and is hanging with you !!!!

[michaelparson-mcnamara]

I literally ran into Butkus at a Chicago suburb party around '72. There was another player next to him, who was even bigger and I asked what he wanted to be when he grew up....I had a bit of a wobble going LOL A loyal pal ushered me out of the room and asked if I knew who they were. Typically (of me), I asked which band they were in and what did they

[davidt]

Dang! You caught me off-guard.. oh well, I won’t be late, next time! 👍🎸✌️😎

[Grant_Ferstat]

Great that you guys can catch up.

Oh. And may I humbly request more!
