Musician turns to social media to help recover stolen guitar

Posted by Stephen Centanni | May 28, 2014 | The Rundown | 0 |

True guitarists have an unbreakable bond with certain guitars. Rollin’ in the Hay’s Rick Carter is no exception to this concept.

Rundown Rick Carter

Carter has spent many years picking his Santa Cruz acoustic guitar. His love for the instrument can be seen in the pick scars left from years of playing. Recently, Carter’s car was burglarized at his home in Indian Springs Village, Ala., and his favorite guitar was stolen.

Since the crime occurred, Carter has turned to social media to help him recover his guitar, and the response has been amazing. Hopefully, the guitar will be returned to Carter, or the authorities will recover this instrument and bring the thief to justice.

Rundown Rick Carter Case

The instrument is a Santa Cruz acoustic with the serial number 1884. The guitar was last seen in a white Calton guitar case that is covered in stickers. Carter is offering a $500 reward. Anyone with any info should call 205-527-9202.

Special bundles to delight R.E.M. fans

R.E.M. was of the many bands that defined the alternative rock genre, and helped build Athens’ reputation for music. The group developed a group of dedicated fans that still remain zealous about their music, and the Azalea City has plenty that meet this description.

R.E.M. fans will be going wild for a collection of “special bundles” that have recently been released. These bundles will allow fans to own the ultimate collection of this prolific band’s music.

The “Complete I.R.S. Studio Albums” is the first bundle. This collection begins with R.E.M.’s 1982 debut EP “Chronic Town.” This bundle also includes “Murmur” (1983), “Reckoning” (1984) “Fables of the Reconstruction” (1985), “Life’s Rich Pageant” (1986) and “Document” (1987).

The “Complete Rarities-I.R.S. 1982-1987” bundle is a collection of 25 rare tracks. This includes alternative versions of “Gardening at Night” as well as B-sides such as “White Tornado” and “Voice of Harold.” This collection also includes “Windout” from the “Bachelor Party” soundtrack. Finally, fans will experience live, in-studio covers of Roger Miller’s “King of the Road,” Andy Williams’ “Moon River,” and the Velvet Underground’s “Pale Blue Eyes” and “There She Goes Again.”

The “Complete Warner Brothers Studio Albums, Vol. 1” bundle takes listeners to the height of the band’s popularity with albums such as “Green” (1988), “Out Of Time” (1991), “Automatic For The People” (1992), “Monster” (1994) and “New Adventures In Hi-Fi” (1996).

The “Complete Rarities-Warner Brothers 1988-2011” bundle spans two decades and holds 131 tracks including non-album tracks “Memphis Train Blues” and “Redhead Walking.” This bundle also holds live performances of “Everybody Hurts” and “Bang and Blame,” as well as covers of Syd Barrett’s “Dark Globe” and Leonard Cohen’s “First We Take Manhattan.”

This is a must for any R.E.M. fan. The bundles are available on iTunes and can be downloaded individually.

About The Author

Stephen Centanni

With the exception of two years spent at Auburn University, Steve Centanni has spent his life in Mobile County while focusing on his two passions: music and the written word. As soon as he was issued his driver’s license, Centanni began to explore the local music scene in the early ‘90s. He filled his weekend with visits classic local venues such as the Four Strong Winds Coffee House, Vincent Van Go-Go’s and Culture Shock, all of which welcomed those who had yet to reach 18. After high school, Centanni traded Mobile for Auburn to complete his B.A. in English with an emphasis on general writing. While at Auburn, he had the honor of studying under the Pulitzer-winning poet Natasha Trethewey, who served as the nation’s Poet Laureate in 2012 and 2014. After receiving his diploma, Centanni quickly moved back to Mobile and completed the University of South Alabama’s graduate program with a M.Ed. Eventually, he was tapped by the nationally distributed Volume Entertainment Magazine to serve as the magazine’s managing editor/senior writer. His time with Volume allowed him to exercise his love for both music and writing. As Volume began to fade, Lagniappe recruited Centanni as their Music Writer and later their Music Editor, where he has remained for a little over a decade. As far as his involvement in the local music scene, Centanni organized Cess Fest at the Langan Park, which was a mini-festival focused on original local music in a time when original local music was veritably taboo in Downtown Mobile. For a short time, he brought original music to Downtown Mobile as the in-house promoter for the now deceased venue Cell Block. He managed local underground powerhouse Fry Cook, until the members parted ways. Centanni has lent his bass to bands such as Keychain Pistol and The F’n A-Holes, and he toured nationally as a member of Abstract Artimus & the Torture Children. Currently, he provides vocals for the garage blues rock outfit Johnny No. Ultimately, Centanni’s experience in the local music scene as both a participant and an observer has allowed him to witness the ever-changing persona of Mobile’s enigmatic music scene, which continues to leave him with more questions than answers.
