Born In The U.S.A.
For all you guitar players that dream of owning a vintage guitar but could not afford the price let me introduce you to a fella that can make your dreams come true. Mr. Kelton Swade based in Franklin, TN.Thru a series of events I was made aware of this man's gift to craft an exceptional instrument. If you simply log onto
www.keltonswade.com and watch the videos demonstrating the exquisite, stellar sounding, what Kelton denotes as AVR or Authentic Vintage Replicas, you will be astounded and like me to start saving my money to have Mr.Kelton Swade or as I like to call him "The Picasso of Guitars" build me one of those bad boys. For any of you that decide to purchase a guitar from Kelton please mention to him that you heard about his guitars on our website - www.thatbakersfieldsound.com - Glenn J. Pogatchnik

"Bouncin' Bill Baker" was definitely a giant in the world of disc jockeys.
Coming from Pittsburgh PA, he worked at W.I.B.C. Radio (AM) in the 50's and 60's
here in Indianapolis, and was instrumental in supporting Art Adams, Ronnie Haig,
as well as many other Indiana and midwestern talents. Bill was also the DJ that was
chosen to introduce the "Beatles" when they made their appearance at "The
Indiana State Fairgrounds."
