Steve here… A fig and a ’51 Pontiac hubcap walk into a bar…
Kate and I met Lynne Curry at Fishtrap 10 years ago. This past July, she read a piece about figs at the gathering that was so steamy……I’m still red in the face.
Anyhow, after the reading, I gave her my fig photo which she used in this piece.
By the way, Lynne is an extraordinary chef. Hope you enjoy this. www.ruraleating.com.
…As long as I’m shamelessly self promoting, check out this piece in the Bangor Daily News. That’s my hubcap guitar in pic. #4. Whoopee!

…And you might as well watch this little film-I shot it with my Brownie Starflash……It’s me telling the backstory of building the ’51 Pontiac Hubcap Guitar for Landfill Art!

How does the guitar play?
Have you seen a hubcap clock

Mary Flower, the great blues guitarist, played it at a gig with Kate and I. I had not forewarned her that I would hand her the guitar in the middle of our set.
After much teasing and laughter, we all played “Candyman” with Mary ripping it up on the “’51 Ponti”. Probably not as smoothe as her old Gibson, but very playable.
There’s a youtube of our song with Mary Flower, as well.

I asked before I saw your youtube video. It sounds pretty darn sweet.
