Good afternoon!
I hope you had a great weekend!

We’re back with another week of music and fun here on the Afternoon Drive!
Today was mystery Monday, and man, this one went quick!
I did the shake test and we learned that this was an item that you’d find in most offices, and we have it here at WNZR.
Lydia from Mt. Vernon called in and correctly guessed that it was a can of air freshener!
She knew it before I did! Well, congratulations to Lydia!

Our Mystery Monday Question today was in what year did the Gibson Guitar Company release its first guitar for sale, and how much did it cost?

The year was 1935, and the cost was $150.
The guitar was the legendary ES-150.

These ES-150’s costed so much less back in the 1940’s, but now, they run for around $2,000. They are a little different now, because they aren’t really made anymore with the Charlie Christian pickups they were originally manufactured with. They are now made with dog ear P90’s.
Charlie Christian’s have a lot of power and warmth, but the tone is also very clear.
You could say the Charlie Christian looks a little like a nowadays hotrail. A hotrail is a really powerful, passive pickup that works better for hard rock and metal.
Now, Gibson makes ES-150’s with dog ear P90’s. P90’s can get you twangy country sounds, or harder humbucker type tones. It just depends on which pickup you’re using and what amp you’re playing through.

Here’s our word of the day…

Pompadour [pom-puh-dawr, -dohr, -doo r]

noun

1. an arrangement of a man’s hair in which it is brushed up high from the forehead.

2. an arrangement of a woman’s hair in which it is raised over the forehead in a roll, sometimes over a pad.

3. a pink or crimson color.

In Textiles…

any fabric, as cotton or silk, having a design of small pink, blue, and sometimes gold flowers or bouquets on a white background. Or a fabric of the color pompadour, used for garments.

Thanks for listening!
