Episode II of our series with Elliott Randall, part II of Elliott's personal history
/Here's episode II of our series with Elliott Randall, part II of Elliott's personal history. This one jumps around a bit, but there are some wonderful stories about Steely Dan, Jimi Hendrix, John Belushi and The Blues Brothers, The Band, Eddie Kramer and more. Some great viewing.

In the coming weeks we'll be publishing a series of episodes featuring an extensive interview as well as demos of some of Elliott's guitars, including the famous #1.
In related news, we were also able to close the loop with Robbie Blunt, best known for his work on the first three Robert Plant albums, and we are planning (technology willing) to do a remote interview with him in the very near future.
