My name is Steve Violetti, aka “VO” and I’m one of thousands of you who love to play and write original songs.
All of us songwriting hopefuls have dreamed the same dream and have a story to tell similar to the one I’m writing here for Vision 4 Music. I was asked to document it anyway as a favor, so don’t hesitate to send V4M your experience as a musician or songwriter trying to get your song heard and hopefully published.
Mother of all Amps !!
This is a 1969 Marshall 100 watt Plexi and twin stack that was personally signed in large handwriting on the inside of the cabs by Jim Marshall. According to Jim himself, he made and covered these cabs to show a new employee how it was done. He told the story to me and Eric Johnson in LA in 2001. The cabs and amp travelled to Australia with Status Quo in the early 70's when I bought it from the Aussie sound engineer, Jim Pyre.
I am holding a very limited edition '69 Les Paul Professional (still my favourite guitar).
