Sylvester Stallone buys his brother Frank a very special gift here at Norman's Rare Guitars chords
Start Jamming...
Hey everybody, I've got my buddy Frank Stallone over here, one of my old old friends and I've
known him for many years.
Family friend, boxing friend.
Over 35 years.
Been to fights together, all kinds of stuff.
Your daughter's wedding.
Absolutely.
Both of them.
That's right.
That's right.
So, thank you.
There you go.
But you didn't get it right the first time.
That's why you guys sell a lot of guitars.
That's right.
But anyhow, Frank is getting a gift from his brother Sylvester and this is a really cool thing.
But tell them about the story.
I wasn't expecting it.
I didn't know anything about it.
I come into the store like I do on Saturday and all of a sudden I'm in the store and Norm
said, you know, someone might want to buy a guitar and I just couldn't think of it because
my brother's never bought me a guitar.
And all of a sudden, who calls me, I'm in the store, Sly.
He goes, where are you?
I said, I'm in the Valley.
He says, the Valley?
I said, yeah.
He goes, yeah.
He starts asking me questions about guitars, which he's never done.
You know something about Les?
He's reading it.
I was reading it.
I go, yeah, I have Les Pauls and stuff like that.
And then I said, yeah.
And a matter of fact, I'm in my friend Norman's Rare Guitars.
He goes, really?
I said, yeah, I'm just kind of walking around.
He goes, what do you think of Les Pauls?
I said, I got four of them.
Just stuff like this.
He goes, yeah, okay.
Well, look around.
How about a J200?
He goes, yeah, how about a J200, a 56, which I said, I also have two of those.
So we're kind of walking around.
And I'll tell you, it took me happenstance, because when someone says, pick a guitar out,
there's like a thousand guitars here.
So I figure, okay, I got Les Pauls, I got Strats, I got Telecasters.
I don't have a Rickenbacker, but I use it like on one song.
And I got Martins.
So Norm's sitting there, and he won't give me, whatever you want.
I said, Norm, work with me, babe.
All of a sudden, he brings this out.
Take a picture of this.
This is one of my favorite groups, Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers.
He brings this out.
This case alone is cool.
He brings it out.
Hand-tooled leather.
Hand-tooled leather.
He opens it up, and there it is.
An Epiphone Emperor.
In the original case.
And I picked this thing up, because he knows I love the Sons of Pioneers.
It only took him an hour to bring it out.
Get me all excited.
Well, I'm senile at this point, Frank.
We're not [E] getting any younger.
So I'm looking at this guitar like, you know
I would [Gb] open my hands, probably [A] real grand.
[Bb] So this [G] is
[G] Riding the range together, my [A] battle-fowl's at my
[E] So this was that Texas swing [Ab] of Roy Rogers.
How about Tumble and Tumbleweed?
You might as well do a little of that.
Why don't [G] I do a little bit?
See them tumbling down, [Gb] spread their love to the ground.
[G] Lord
Oh, I can't [G] remember anymore.
But I'll learn all the songs.
See, he said I'm senile.
That's why we get along so well.
This guitar is spectacular.
This is probably one of the best examples of an Epiphone Emperor I ever saw.
So I called back my brother.
I sent him some pictures.
And believe me, I didn't ask for a guitar.
[Gb] And this is what I have.
A nice gift, but a gift that actually has meaning.
This is a gift that has meaning.
One, that my brother gave it to me, bought it for [Ab] me.
Which he's never bought me a guitar.
And second, that this is the Sons of Pioneer.
This is historic.
And I don't know
We know who you bought it from.
Well, many years ago, I bought this guitar from Rome Johnson.
A guy named Rome Johnson.
Who was in the Sons of the Pioneers.
And it's just something that I had.
I sold to a buddy of mine up in Santa Cruz.
[G] And I ended up buying it back.
This is a great example of this guitar.
[Ab] Yeah, absolutely.
This is all straight.
And I have a funny feeling.
Because Rome didn't join the Sons of Pioneers until like 1972.
I have a feeling that this belonged to one of the old timers in the Sons of Pioneers.
And people were like that in those days.
I don't play it anymore.
Because they were kind of electric at that point.
He goes, why don't you have this?
So this could have been Bob Nolan's.
It could have been Lloyd Perryman's.
Because the tooling on the case is not 1970's.
This is 40's.
So this is a kind of historic [N] piece.
I'm going to cherish this forever.
Look at the back and the grain on this.
So this is a historic piece.
And by the way
This is a man-sized guitar by the way.
It's even bigger than a Super 400.
This is not for Bruno Mars.
This guitar is bigger than Bruno Mars actually.
But this is something that I will cherish forever.
It was just a wonderful thought.
I'm going to love this.
I'm going to keep this in the case.
I'm not going to keep this out like my other guitars.
Because we do have earthquakes.
So this will stay in the vault.
And I will play it often.
When I drink too much and serenade myself at my dinner table on [Bm] YouTube.
And just as an addendum.
I [E] was talking to Sly.
And I [Bm] said, Sly, you know I've been [G] dealing with your brother for 25-30 years.
Now he's practically family.
And his [Bm] answer to me was, I don't know whether to congratulate you or send you over a bottle of [N] whiskey.
So we'll probably send you some blowhard bourbon.
But the thing is with this guitar, it means a lot.
It's sentimental.
My brother and I are very close.
And it's just something that came out of left field.
I was not looking for it.
I had no idea.
He wanted to get you something meaningful and something that you would cherish.
For this Christmas.
And the thing is, this is the greatest guitar store in the world for vintage guitars.
And so when someone says you can pick out something, all of a sudden you become stupid.
Because there's everything here.
But I had all the other guitars.
And Norm was trying to sell me on these other guitars.
I said, yeah, I have them.
I would need someone to touch me.
And the only thing I meant like that was when you had the George Gobel guitar.
That was cool.
This is different.
You'll never see this again like this with the provenance with this.
So this is really wonderful.
Too bad Epiphone [F] is not in business where I can't find out the serial number who bought it.
Well, I do have the serial number.
But this was made in [Fm] 1940.
This guitar is going on 77 years old.
So the person that had this guitar was a real pro.
And obviously loved it and took [E] good care of it.
And it's still a [N] great instrument and a cool piece of music memory.
It's a cool piece of history.
Norm, I thank you again.
My brother from a different mother.
Thank you, Sly.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you all.
All right.
Happy Holidays.
