Signing Tommy's Guitar

This is the third installment in Audio Rumble's Tommy Conwell rockumentary series.

It wasn't too long ago that DJ Caterina one day noticed the signature of guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughan on Tommy's infamous 1969 Guild X500. The signature is also dated 1990, significant considering that SRV died in a helicopter crash in August of that year. So when did this meeting of two guitar greats occur and how did we mere mortals miss the epic event of feeling the earthquake and the pillars of heaven shake...

Anyway, I just always wanted to know that story...and I got to ask Tommy Conwell and he answered!

Tommy Conwell Documentary "Philebrity" Mention

Today's article from Philadelphia arts culture blog, Philebrity, on Audio Rumble's Tommy Conwell Rockumentary:
Upcoming Tommy Conwell Documentary Reveals… Lots Of Awesomely Hilarious Tommy Conwell Footage

As we speak, UT-Dallas Emerging Media and Communication grad student DJ Caterina is probably hunkered down in front of a Final Cut Pro rig somewhere, splicing together footage for Audio Rumble: Tommy Conwell, a rockumentary about one of Philly’s most beloved ’80s rock heroes. There’s lots of stuff to look at on that main link, but we found this and smiled pretty wide:

Wildwood Girls couldn’t have been too far from the action on this day.



Update: Philebrity re-branded their content sometime in the 2010s. Link to article no longer exists. ☹
