Greetings!  
 
I would like to wish you a fun, safe and happy new years eve party night and a wonderful first day of 2010 ! 
 
With so many clubs featuring talented bands it won't be hard to find good live blues music to bring in the new year and be sure to take your designated driver.
 
Happy New Year, David Barnes
Happening this Month
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This months newsletter is just a short mix of Vintage47amps what was for 09' and what is coming for 1010. I have included links to vintage and nostalgic music related postings found around the web which you may find both informational and educational.
 
Pre Valco National Dobro Style  
Wow! I can't believe another year went by so fast, and December was by far the fastest and busiest month of all.
 
I finally got around to posting some new sound clips and added a 1930-50 nostalgic amp and music related picture post over on my pages at Vintage47amps on YouTube and Vintage47amps on FaceBook. Click these links to check out the great library of very old historic blues artist I have collected there for everyone to enjoy and while your at facebook please add yourself to my 'Friends' list (and see the great musicians already subscribed). 
 
Probably the most exciting at Vintage47 for 2009 was the addition of two professional musicians; Welcome, Billy F Gibbons of ZZ Top   ..................More Here
 
What musicians are asking Vintage47

Spectator two tone All year long I field hundreds of questions about old octal tube amplifier circuit design, volume and tone, etc.
 
I'd like to share a few of the more commomly asked questions below.
 
The number one question for 2009 is; How would I discribe the difference between the Alnico and the Ceramic speakers?
 
Answer; Alnico Ceramic Speaker This is one I posted  on the website speaker page but it gets missed, click here to read and look at the bottom of the page.

 My goal in 2010 is to consistantly complete a minimum of 20 amplifiers a month and it looks like for January at least I'll be meeting that goal
 
 
Currently 16 amplifiers are on the bench and having the final details completed. Those are scheduled to be tested and burned in final release starting the first week of January. This is a mix of both 10 and 12 inch speaker models mostly having the 12 watt Supreme Style amplifier installed. All sixteen should be posted to the website by 3 week of January, start checking Wednesday Jan 6th for the first round of postings.
