Guitar Archeology

Here are a couple pictures of a Gibson Super 400 that my friend Steve Pearson sent me.

Check this out !! WOW

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, as a columnist for The Seattle Times, I wrote numerous times about The Heats, a local rock band. Steve Pearson, now with British Racing Green, was an integral part of that fabulous group — a band that to me was like a reincarnation of the Beatles. The music magazine Goldmine would describe The Heats’ first album, “Have An Idea,” as “one of the Top-50 power-pop albums of all time.” Their live performances drew fanatic crowds. Eventually, The Heats broke up, but Steve Pearson never gave up on his love for music. He continues to play to this day, this time in British Racing Green, which also includes his wife, Lucette. I’ve had a chance to listen to their latest two recordings, which can be heard on their Web site, HTTP://www.myspace.com/stevepearsonandbritishracinggreen. “Goodbye Mr. Jefferson” and “Long Way To Heaven” continue the legacy from The Heats — catchy tunes with great harmonies. If you believe what the Beatles and the Everly Brothers stood for, you, too, will become a British Racing Green fan.

Gee, do I sound as if I really like this group?
