Keith Richards photo by John Peden Fender Exhibit: Roy Buchanan’s Telecaster 3-22-08 Originally uploaded by Doctor Noe Fender Exhibit: Roy Buchanan’s Telecaster 3-22-08 Keith Richards photo by John Peden A blow-up of John Peden’s photo of Keith for the cover of Guitar World magazine bends his B-string over a massive array of Telecaster firepower including Roy Buchanan’s “Nancy,” a prime example of the stripped-down, bare bones instrument that is so expressive in the hands of a master like Roy. Richard Smith, author of “Fender – the sound heard around the world” now works for the Fullerton Museum Center 301 N. Pomona Ave, Fullerton Ca. 92832 (714) 738-6545. He always has an exhibit on Fender but for 2008-10 there is a new exhibit on the Telecaster. The gala opening of the exhibit, entitled “Solid Design: Leo Fender’s Telecaster” was March 22, 2008 7-10 p.m., and the exhibit will run through Fall, 2010. From the exhibit catalog: “In early 1949 Leo Fender started seriously designing a standard guitar model for his Fine Line of Fender Electric Instruments. At first the guitar was called the Esquire, then the Broadcaster and finally the Telecaster. Sixty years later it is one of the most popular guitars in the world, an instrument built for working men and women musicians who defined the blues, country and pop styles. There’s a whole set of photos from the Tele exhibit here. Featured on a monitor throughout the night was the documentary by Noe Gold and John Peden, “Roy Buchanan Telly Talk.” A full-on “director’s cut” documentary version of “Telly Talk” is in the works. Watch this space for news of further developments: see the “About my DVD” section to the right.

Michael Gallagher http://daily.mahalo.com/ The piece that mahalo.com ’s producer Michael is talking about was designed to be a kind of companion piece to the “About the Film” section on Paramount’s http://www.shinealightmovie.com/main.html website. If you navigate over there, besides art work, clips and other goodies, you may find the text for the complete Production Notes for the movie. It was supposed to be a kind of behind-the-scenes of the process of putting together an elaborate Production Notes package, which this one in particular of all the many Notes packages I worked on, turned out to be. It’s that process — and the elaborate process of making the movie itself that the show explores. I’ll be posting some more from the interviews I did with the filmmakers to put together this Production Notes package right on my blog, I’ve just now seen the movie for the fourth time, and it keeps getting better and better. Some of the features Lon Harris and I discussed in the interview for the show: Keith’s rapport with Marty, Mick’s auteurship of the concert, Buddy Guy’s performance and that of Jack White.
