"The Journey"
If tomorrow was today
It would yesterday
The sun is surely just a thought away
Where visions that men fail
To put to words to tale
And music that they try but cannot (p)lay
You're right it's just a dream, your company so kind
Hold very tightly please and we shall go out....
~Small Faces: Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones, Ian McLagan & Steve Marrott

We've not yet gotten a chance to delve into the wonderland of
Ronnie Lane instruments with one small exception...
Ronnie's acoustic resonator made straight from the hands of Tony Zemaitis!
Ronnie Lane - Shindig Magazine 2017 Zemaitis acoustic resonator guitar
At the Ronnie Lane Zemaitis Acoustic Resonator Guitar page there are
tons of photos, video of Ronnie playing this guitar with Slim Chance
on "Debris" and "Ooh La La", and heart-felt words about Ronnie from Tony.
You can find tons more information about this acoustic beauty here at
https://www.ronnielane.com/zemaitis-resonator-acoustic-guitar.html

Keith Smart, the now proud owner of Ronnie's resonator (and contributor
to The Zemaitis Club!- see Keith's special Ronnie Lane issue here)
is having a live stream chat tomorrow 5pm London time and is sure to mention and maybe even play this stunning piece.
Catch Keith over on Facebook and Instagram!

A lovely surprise popped through my letterbox today. I was sent by a dear friend this Ronnie Lane set list, in Ronnie’s own hand! Here it is next to Ronnie’s Zemaitis resonator, made for him by Tony Zemaitis. #ronnielane #thesmallfaces #thefaces #ronniewood #rodstewart #kenneyjones

Enjoy!

P.S. You might notice here next to Ronnie's guitar is a hidden photo of the Ronnie Lane Mobile Studio. If you've never heard of it before, it was one of only two mobile recording studios available in the early 1970s and was used to record some of the most loved albums of Led Zeppelin, The Who, Bad Company, Eric Clapton and Slim Chance. Have a glimpse of the LMS:

Finally solved the mystery of why Ronnie Lane is in the same room with Roy Harper, Jimmy Page, John Bonham, Keith Moon and Robert plant but
​in the few photos that have been preserved they have on different outfits!

Answers can be found once you check out Roy Harper's record release party for Valentine on February 14, 1974, billed as "Roy Harper's Valentines Day Massacre", where all these fine folks, including Ronnie Lane, were in attendance.

As is the case with much of Ronnie Lane history, one album leads to an event which leads to another album. They all tie together, so don't miss any of them! Each contains their own blend of videos, photos and stories.
