The Guitar Show with Andy Ellis: Legends Series

07/13/2024

Hey Friends! As you all know, COVID really f’d up many of our musical lives and forced some of us to look for alternate means to make a decent living. As some of you know, I went into the used Corvette parts business with my brother Jim. That’s doing great and we’ve expanded to other brands.

But now I have a BRAND NEW VENTURE to announce and our first product is available online now. In a conversation a while back with my podcast partner, Andy Ellis (check out “The Guitar Show with Andy Ellis - Legends Series” on Spotify), we talked about what “Old Geezers” we’ve become and that we need to slow down and work at our own pace or what we called “Geezer Time.” That sparked the creative juices to create the first in a line of “Geezer Time” merchandise with a great group of partners. You can check out our first product, the “Geezer Time” t-shirt at www.geezerproducts.com .

Check it out and get on the mailing list to hear about the many cool products we’ll offer on the website in the coming months, a whole line of “Geezer” merchandise that will come to include hats, mugs, tumblers, hoodies, koozies and others. And a music-themed “Geezer” line is in the design phase right now.

And please share this with your friends!

Listen to this episode from The Guitar Show with Andy Ellis: Legends Series on Spotify. In June 1965, the Byrds released their heretical version of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man."
