#826: Hello ... Hello ... my old friends ... It's great to see you once again! You really do never know what is around the corner! A couple of days ago, I was contacted by a gentleman named Geoff Burrows, who is now the proud owner of two [2] classic rhythm guitars formerly owned by and used by ELO Part II co-founder Pete Haycock. He purchased both items following Pete's tragic death in October 2013.

The Blue Jordan ... |
Both the Sunburst Alpha and Blue Jordan were used in Pete's recordings and live performances with the band between 1990 and 1992, including the famed UK concerts with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra in 1991. Both guitars can be seen in the official music video for "Honest Men", live footage on German TV channel ZDF and/or the official ELO Part II/MSO video release [Telstar #TVE1037].

Geoff is presently seeking out new opportunities with a function or classic pop covers [including, of course, ELO] band after having left his previous outfit before they became Before The Dawn [a very good Kate Bush tribute act] and can be contacted via his Facebook page.
Until next "Time" in the ELO [and related] Universe ... KJS ... 04-Jan-2015
