William Shatner is supposedly fashioning a metal album out of his awesomeness, along with personalities like Peter Frampton, Mike Inez, Steve Howe of Yes, [...]

Visited the folks for Thanksgiving break in Phoenix, AZ…happened to check out the Musical Instrument Museum while I was there. I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up. While there, I happened upon this wicked-looking instrument… Looks like it would either summon a demon, or put one to sleep…or both.
