Dean Delray's LET THERE BE TALK – Details, episodes & analysis

EP 831 – Let There Be Talk

Today on Let There Be Talk, I talk about catching the Queens of the Stone Age Catacombs Tour—1 of the best shows I have even seen hands down, 

I also get into something pretty interesting that popped up this week: Walter Payton's Porsche is for sale on Bring A Trailer. It's a rare piece of sports and automotive history that I cant wait to see what it ends up selling for.

And finally, I touch on the ongoing challenge of fake news—how it spreads, how easy it is to get pulled into it, and why it feels harder than ever to sort out what's real.

That's all coming up today on EP 831.

Thanks for tuning in.

Today I do a full deep dive into Custom Guitars with Luthier Greg DeLuis.

Greg makes some of the most incredible hand made guitars in the tradition of master luthier Doug Irwin.

If you have seen Jerry Garcia's guitars like Tiger, Wolf or Rosebud you know that these are not some off the shelf store bought guitars.

The amount of detail and work put into building those guitars is almost a forgotten craft.

Greg continues the tradition even hand cutting all the inlay himself.

Hear this mans amazing journey on this episode of Let There Be Talk / The Grail.

Check out all of Gregs Guitars on his instagram @deluisguitars
