Day 5: $5 Ford
Michael McDonald - If That’s What It Takes
featuring guitar solos by Robben Ford (the only Ford in my collection afaik) on “That’s Why” and the title track, the first two tracks on side B. and while I can’t remember how much I paid for this album exactly, I remember getting it for pretty cheap.

Day 6 - Flying V
On this day in 1958 Gibson launched the Flying V guitar. Play something by somebody known for playing a Flying V.
I can't think of anyone who was a greater proponent and played a Flying V more religiously or for a longer period of time than Lonnie Mack.
Lonnie purchased the 7th Flying V to come off the Gibson assembly line upon it's introduction in 1958.
He played it mighty well. This was some pretty wild guitar tone for 1963...

Day 5 - $5 Ford
Play a record you picked up for $5
I have a lot I purchased years ago from thrifts and antique malls, most were under 5 bucks. But this one I know I bought at Plaza Records in Carbondale, IL in the mid 90's.
Records there were all around 5 bucks or less as this was during the big CD boom, vinyl was relatively cheap.
Ramones – Ramones
Sire – SR 6020 NP, 1978
Portuguese pressing

Day 6 - Flying V
On this day in 1958 Gibson launched the Flying V guitar. Play something by somebody known for playing a Flying V.
So not a real Flying V, but a repro copy from Electra called a "Flying Wedge". He used it for the first 4 years of the band and then brought it back out to use on Death Magnetic.

Albert King might be a popular pick today! I believe Stevie Ray had a flying V, but maybe not on this record.

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers "Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers" (1976 Shelter Records; 2014 Reprise reissue)
Tom Petty was such a fan that he used it as his logo. The 2014 reissue of this, cut by Chris Bellman and pressed at Pallas is great.

Day 6 - Flying V
T. Rex – Electric Warrior
The Slider was my original plan for today but @Smartiepants managed to scoop me on my album AND the exact same photo of Marc Bolan with his Flying V I'd intended to add to my post. Well played!
Having to "settle" for Electric Warrior is far from the worst position I could find myself in.
