                  Isn't that irony? Well there's this guy in my community a bit older than I and he would sometimes pair with Link Wray as his lead guitarist. Turns out Robert Gordon also has a nice Pan Head and while this song is about the rails and not antique motorcycles it is on the right track.

                      • The famous Marfa,Texas Excelsior proving grounds. . . I've wondered if any of those Excelsiors survived their tests.

                          • Great subtleties in that pic, Bob!

                            Note how the electric lights are off, so everything is illuminated by the skylights bouncing off the white ceramic flooring.

                            Of two hundred or so early shop interiors I've snagged, none are "well lit"

                            Imagine heating such high ceilings in the winter!

                              Wouldn't it be great to walk into a shop set up like that with no T-shirts and just 'get down to business' necessities.
