In this episode I have the honor of sitting down with Falcon Eddy of the Galveston Guitar Lounge. He takes us through his guitar journey that properly began as a teenager at Gibson's department store when he bought a Teisco Del Ray, amp, and case for $29.
Falcon Eddy moved up quick... next a Gibson SG and then a Gibson Dove. He even managed to trade a bass for a car!
A lot of his journey revolved around the harmonica... there's too many guitar players :-)
Falcon Eddy then walks us through the history of his shop, the Galveston Guitar Lounge, and it begins with driving 30 miles for a pack of guitar strings.
Like many brick and mortar music store owners their lineage through the business is filled with twists and turns. But adversity makes you stronger and along came the Fowlcon Guitar Company, their own line of guitars. The next step? Elissa Guitars, guitar bodies built from the deck floor of the 1877 ELISSA, a tall sailing ship and one of only three in the world that is still in operation and based in Galveston.
How did Falcon Eddy get his name? Watch and find out.
Thank you Falcon Eddy for your time and friendship. For those that know you, and those that watch the show they'll get it... you are one good dude.
