World’s longest guitar marathon
Posted By Mike Orren in The One That's Not About Music on June 21, 2006
Not exactly local, but there is a connection:
Chicago musician Jef Sarver is currently trying to break the world's record for the longest guitar marathon ever -- 44 hours.
You can watch the live stream here.
The connection? He's making his attempt at the original Chicago Potbelly Sandwich Works. Potbelly has moved into the DFW market in a big way, and music is a big part of their stores. We're going to be sponsoring a concert series at their Plano store this summer, and will soon be announcing a new contest for eleven local bands to be featured on a "Potbelly Picks" CD. More details coming soon...

Mike, I vote for you start a blog "the one that's about sandwiches." sandwiches are underrated.

he's on hour 23 and looks like he just started. Playing like a madman, switching out guitars, etc. Just did a pretty neat version of "Eyes Without A Face".
