The Detroit Free Press endorsed El-Sayed. "Everything you’ve heard about Michigan’s U.S. Senate race is true: An extremist is asking voters to send him to Washington, masking an agenda far out of step with Michigan's mainstream under the pretense of normalcy...that man is not El-Sayed." Ouch!.

“If you had asked me in the ’70s, there’s no way I thought I’d still be doing it at 81. But I’m thankful for my blessings every day, so that’s it. You try to make the most of it.” www.guitarplayer.com/guitarists/r... #RobinTrower #guitarists #guitar #GuitarSky #music #MusicSky

40 years ago today, Mike Scott of the Houston Astros threw a 2–0 no-hitter against the San Francisco Giants at the Houston Astrodome and clinched the National League West division title for the Astros. How many of you remember? I do. I was living in Houston at the time and it was insane.

1963 Corvette Sting Ray Split-Window Coupe. And 1963 was the only year for the iconic split rear window in the C2 generation. 😍 Fun Factoid: 1963 - 1967 (C2): "Sting Ray" was originally two words. 1969 - 1976 (C3): "Stingray" became one word.

Another entrant in "The Most Texas Photo of All Time" contest. Reader John T. Leslie's wife bought a batch of about 30 photos taken at Antone's in Austin. One of them is this great photo of three Texans: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins, and Clifford Antone himself (in the background). Mercy!

Weird Guitar of the Day @weirdguita.rs · 04/09/2026

Robin Ranger

The Robin Ranger is a semi-hollow electric guitar with many Fender design cues. It's got a Strat-type shape with an F-hole like a Telecaster Thinline. The pearloid pickguard only covers the neck side of the body like an original Precision bass. It's got two single-coils in the bridge & middle positions and a humbucker in the neck, and they're controlled by a volume knob, a tone knob, and a 5-way blade switch.
