Eric has great students. One of them is Christy C. N. who always gives us good laughs and she heard that one of Eric’s favorite shows is American Pickers. So she gave Eric an Antique Archaeology t-shirt as a gift and he wears it ALL the time. (For those unfamiliar with American Pickers, Mike is one of the ‘stars’ and he owns the store Antique Archaeology.) He now packs this brown shirt for every workshop we go on. So many of my photos have him wearing that shirt so much so, that it looks like he wears the same clothes every day. So the History Channel has been advertising this week’s episode for awhile and Eric’s been nagging me to post this event on my blog. I’ve got to give him what he wants some times, so this one I will do. Why is this particular episode so special and has Eric so excited? Because one of his favorite musicians, Jack White, will be on the show! Direct quote from Eric: “My favorite two pickers meet myfavorite guitar picker. It doesn’t get any better than this, not since Abbottand Costello meet the Invisible man.” Well, ‘alrighty’ then. Here you go Eric. (hit ‘play’ on video below)

You're not a big brown fan? Half the things you own are shades of brown!
I love my shirt. It is so subtle with the dark brown print on the brown shirt. I'm not a big brown fan, but it works. I just wait until someone makes a connection and figures out what the logo is. Thanks Christy, just ignore my wife.
Oh Christy No! Not another shirt that he will be obsessed with!!
Thanks for the info. We like American Pickers also.
We'll have to check it out on Monday.
Eric gave me some more info: Singer/guitarist Jack White is formerly of The White Stripes and now TMR (Third Man Records). Frank and Mike of American Pickers visit White's TMR in Nashville, and haggle with him over old memorabilia, including the photo booth used in the video for The Dead Weather's "Hang You From the Heavens." Fun.
The ep airs a 9 PM ET.
I guess a new shirt will be in order for my teacher at NCBA….hear this one is a little "ratty"…..Christy
