As an avid guitar player something that I’ve done for 45 years. It has always been there in my life. Something that I do for others at church or for my own amusement. I became personally aware of Gretsch guitars about four years ago and it really changed things up for me as a guitar player. One of  those Gretsch things included a web form called the Gretsch Pages. The place where like-minded guitar players get together and talk about all kinds of things mostly guitars and amplifiers. From time to time they have what is called a round up where they physically actually get together and play guitar, and commiserate. The Northern California branch of the Gretsch pages has been organizing these roundups for a number of years at the same place, a lodge at the top of Donner Pass in California. One of the members asked me to do an illustration for a T-shirt design for this year’s event. I thought with the visual imagery of Donner Pass and a beautiful Gretsch guitar I could not go wrong. Adding some event attendees on the bridge I thought was a fun poke at what we do every day on the Gretsch pages, disseminate information about Gretsch guitars and such.
