Free fender T-Shirt

Posted on Apr 10, 2009 under Newsworthy | No Comment

Thought I would pass this on.

Fender is offering a free T-Shirt when you test out one of their amps at a participatind dealer.

I did this once before and got a T-Shirt for testing out a guitar.

This works really simple.  all you have to do is download a coupon, take it to your Fender dealer, try an amp and give them the coupon to sign.  Then you must mail it in to Fender. It takes a while to get your shirt, but if like me you visit your local music store often, then there really is little hastle for getting a cool T shirt.

Jimi Hendix drummer Mitch Mitchell passes away

Posted on Nov 13, 2008 under Newsworthy | No Comment

Today I honor and pay my respects to Mitch Mitchell, drummer for Jimi Hendix and part of the Jimi Hendix Experience.

On Wednesday Nov 12th, 2008 Mitch was found dead in a downtown Portland hotel apparently of natural causes. Mitch Mitchell was 61 years old.

Mitch had been playing with the Experience Hendrix tour that just made a stop in Portland at the Schnitz last Friday.

Preceded in death by his former band mates:

Jimi Hendrix, 1970
Noel Redding, 2003

This rock legend will be missed and remembered.

Welcome to the new Rupp Music blog

I just installed this blog and chose this theme. Let me know how it looks. I may switch to a different theme, but at least for now this is what you get until I can start adding more content.

As far as my main site at www.RuppMusic.com, I added a picture of my Wall Of Sound featuring my vintage silver metal flake tuck-n-roll Kustom amps.

I took a few other pictures today of some of my other guitars. Once I get those pics edited I will get them up for sale.
