Does anyone know the Hofner-like guitar he's playing...?

[smurfette2234]

When I knew Tav, he wore glasses. Looked intellectual. Now he looks like Ricky Ricardo.

@smurfette2234 I saw a pic of him that made him look like a cross between Bela Lugosi and Carl Perkins.

Nobody does it like Tav. The only authentic psychobilly! Tav & the Burns turned out great tune after great tune. Please post more! Anybody got his amazing version of GOLDFINGER?

Great sound - for a change we can actually see giovanna and hear the backing vocals in this video. In Memphis recently the sound men buried the backing vocalist (in that case it was an additional person besides giovanna) and giovanna was hidden in shadows, as she often is. Tav didn't perform the antics shown at the end of your video at the recent Memphis show, by the way. Your 2005 video shows a very fine guitarist who was filling in for Gregoire Cat, then recovering from a motorcycle accident.

Yes I heard he borrowed Tav's motorcycle and totaled it. Tav has not been on a motorcycle since.
