Hi Everyone,
A few friends have been writing and asking, where are you? You okay? So I thought I would write and say hello to everyone and let you all know that I've been busy struggling through a difficult time in my life. I've been in the middle of an emotionally challenging protracted divorce for nearly a full year now. With any luck we will be able to come to a resolution in a few months time.
On many levels my life is so much better now and I'm very thankful for that. I'm not going to get into the details of any of it but there are several obvious downsides to divorce.
In any case, I mention this because I am going to list a few guitars on the site tomorrow that unfortunately I need to sell rather quickly.
I will post pictures and my suggested price. The idea will obviously be to secure the price listed. The price range of the instruments will be from $850 to $2,500 US. If any of you are interested in buying the guitars please make a comment on the blog and also send me a message.
If it ends up that there are multiple folks interested in the same instrument I will be happy to help moderate the situation and help find a resolution. I may possibly be able to suggest an alternative instrument for purchase.
The payment details will be worked out through private messages on the site.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions about how to implement the best and most fair way to handle the possibility of a bidding war here please let me know your thoughts as comments on this blog. I would like to make sure this works in a friendly and professional manner.
I hope to post the guitars by the late afternoon tomorrow or at least before I go to bed tomorrow night.
If no-one is interested that is perfectly okay too. I may do some e-Bay stuff at some point as well. I just figured I would try this out and avoid the extra fees etc.
To those who have reached out, thanks very much. I really do appreciate it.
By the way, just a reminder - watch the Tonight Show on Friday. You might see something unusual.
Regards, DZ
I'd not seen this post till now, didn't know. I hope things are better now. I don't know what to say except I think from the statement you made in "Interest" on your page, that you're a great father and that whatever happens your two daughters will know this as they grow older.
Looking forward to the concert at the Greek on the 20th, and I know it's early, but Happy Birthady!
LOL...your site censors your dads song Titles!!!Irony can be so ironic at times..
Its funny how your Dads music always got me through tough times..I got totally crushed by a gal (I think she was a Momur) in '82...."Broken Hearts are for A******s" was a true tonic...got divorced 4 years ago,and for some reason "Brown Shoes dont make it" fit that predicament....one thing about your shows...in a musik biz world of 65min shows 10 min coke snorting break then a weary couple of encores while checking your watch to clock in at 90,the love (for want of a better word) of your group for the music,and your incredible generousity as a band leader to let those guys stretch,is just so rare,and I truly can say that that feeling between you guys and the appreciation in the audience is almost a spiritual(sorry ,Frank!) force...absolutely amazing!!In short,Thanks again,keep your chin up,wondrous things still abound out there...just have to wadw through some s**t to get at them!!Sucks balls ya gotta sell your guitars though..I assume your keeping Madonna!!Any chance Joe and Lenny will do a drum off??One can dream...even though I hate drum solas!Bon chance,Marc Wgaf Anyway

There is nothing easy in a divorce. Forget your needs and focus on your kids. While somefeel they will be okay and grow out of it, I can tell you this isn't always the case. My daughter, who is 28, can remember when her mother walked out on us when she was 2 and a half years old. Though she is a great and a wonderful daughter, she will always remember. Sidebar, I took her to zpz in Chicago last dec. Completely blown away by the show. So whatever you do, do as much as you can and spend as much time as you possibly can with your kids. They remember that as well and know who was there for them. Can't wait to see you this when you come back in Aug.
