Shawn Dixon did this fabulous restoration of a RCA Victor 45 player and I wanted to share how cool it is. Sleepwalk plays on the vintage player while images of 50’s teens, Hotrods and more… its all over now – just like it was for the final images of a cool flamed Hot Rod and its 50’s driver. If you want a 45 player, Shawn’s eBay auctions are at http://myworld.ebay.com/grandamfirebird2/ He spends apporx 20 to 30 hours on each player. its worth it.
There’s nothing in the fly fishing world that says “relax” better than bamboo! You can use any adjective that you wish; “old school”, “throw-back”, “timeless beauty”, but you’ll still get back to “relax”. If you have the need to escape the fast paced world of today’s workday pressures and the speed of “modern” rod materials, then reach for a bamboo fly rod. From the moment you begin casting, your heart rate will lower about 20 beats per minute and blood pressure will fall below normal. There’s nothing more relaxing than dry fly fishing with bamboo; that is, until you hook up! Don’t think these rods are your grandparent’s fly rods of old, because they’re not! Today’s bamboo fly rods are made of the finest select quality bamboo, space-age adhesives, and are artistically crafted, making these rods extremely lightweight, beautiful to behold, and highly functional. Modern rod component manufacturing has brought lighter-weight and more durable guides, reels seats and rod finishes. The meticulous bamboo fly rod maker of today, while ever more the hand-craftsman, has modern materials and tools to make these bamboo rods more than just things of beauty. They are wonderfully responsive fishing tools. If you haven’t experienced casting, fishing or owning a fine bamboo fly rod, we at Leland can help you on your journey, from small spring creeks to spey rivers. Bamboo fly rods have experienced a recent renaissance in the fly fishing community and we at Leland are proud to offer a wide selection of bamboo fly rods from amongst the world’s finest makers.
