22 Questions Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Popular Hot Rodding: What's up with your infatuation with Mopars? Kenny Wayne Shepherd: I just like the history of the Mopar brand, all the way from the early years. It was the styling and performance. Most people viewed them as the underdog of the Big Three. When my parents met, my mom drove a Duster. On my dad's side, there were lots of Dodges.
What cars are in your garage right now? At this moment I've got the Duster, the Xtreme Lee '69 Charger, a 2006 Dodge Charger SRT-8, a 2007 Dodge Charger R/T, and my first vintage car, a chopped 1950 Ford business coupe with a big-block Chevy. I walked into a classic car dealership, and out of the entire selection, that was the coolest car, but they had no musclecars. Once I got my feet wet, I realized I grew up with Mopars, and that's what I really liked.
Which one of them is the fastest? Hard to say. Maybe we can do another column another time and bring them to the track. The Xtreme Lee has 585 hp, but it's pretty heavy. Maybe the Duster. Maybe the SRT-8, because it hooks up real good. Common sense would say the Duster is a lot lighter, and with 435 hp at the flywheel, it would have an edge.
If you could only own one car, what would it be, and why? You're getting too personal. (Laughs.) Just kidding. I have the same disease as other car guys. I set my sights on something and finally accomplish it. My '69 Charger is my childhood dream, and that wasn't enough to stop me. I'll have to think hard about that one.
Got any plans for future musclecar projects? Anything non-Mopar? I like to keep my options open because I see cars every day, and when I see them, I see possibilities. I consider myself a Mopar guy, but the car customizer in me entertains the idea of doing all kinds of cars, like a secondgeneration Camaro, for example.
Like Project g/28? Well yeah, exactly. I kind of like the early ones, though. I like the '70-73 style with the split bumper. I was looking into the company that makes the reissue bodies, and I'd like to do the '69 Fastback Mustang too, because you see thousands of Camaros. It would be interesting to work with a car you don't really have to cut and weld and do sheetmetal on, replacing rust.
What do you think of the new Dodge Challenger? I love it, dude! I mean, put me on the list of people you will see driving one. I'll order mine as the SRT-8 version with the 6.1L Hemi and the six-speed transmission.
How much hands-on stuff do you actually do on your cars? I do a lot more now than I used to. Originally, I did stuff like changing the oil and the air filter. I always thought my dad was teaching me so he wouldn't have to do it anymore! I didn't have a whole lot of time because of my touring schedule. But the more I did, the more I wanted to get involved. Now in my off time, I'm always doing something with my cars like installing an exhaust or a stereo system.
What's the hardest thing you've ever wrenched by yourself? I'd say tearing apart the 340 engine from the Duster. There are a few techniques you've got to know, like getting the pistons and stuff out of the engine. I take step-by-step pictures to help me the next time. I'll use the pictures as reference, and Ted [Moser, of Picture Car Warehouse] will help me. I used to open up my amplifiers and take them apart. The amp is where it really got complicated. You see the point-to-point wiring with resistors and transistors. You can eat up the better part of a year pulling out resistors and stuff and putting in new ones. When you're done, you can really tell how they sound different.
You were at SEMA this year. What things did you see that really tripped your trigger? I was excited with what I saw at Mopar. They're getting ready to offer an all-aluminum new Hemi in the 6.1 liter. It's basically the SRT-8 Hemi, but it's all aluminum. This block will be capable of going up to 440ci. People are building these engines right now up to 426 inches and making 650 hp, so a 440 ought to be even higher, and it weighs less than a small-block. I'd like to put it in one of my cars. The Vortech and Paxton blowers are exciting, too.
What message boards do you visit? Wanna tell us your screen name? I try to keep a low profile, but on a daily basis, I like to go to chargerforums.com for the Chargers, and LXforums.com for all the LX platform cars, like the new Charger, 300C, and Magnum. I go to moparts.org, probably the largest online community of Mopar lovers.
A lot of car guys are into guitars. Can you talk about your endorsement deal with Fender, and your forthcoming line of Stratocasters? Yeah. I've been an endorsing artist for Fender since I was like 16. Probably about two years ago, I was approached by the guy who is the head of Fender now, and he said they wanted to do a Signature Series guitar, and that's very prestigious. People like Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Stevie Ray Vaughn have their own line. For the last year I've been designing a line of guitars that will have my name on them, and that's really cool. The first three guitars will be Signature Series Stratocasters. These will be at an affordable price point. A lot of my younger fans are guitar players, and I wanted a model that would be within reach.
Your Grammy-nominated CD, "10 Days Out," isn't the normal Kenny Wayne Shepherd fare. It's a historical record of a rapidly disappearing art. What was it like playing with such blues greats as BB King, Hubert Sumlin, and Gatemouth Brown? If you can imagine being a blues fan, which I am, and a guitar player, there's not too many cooler things than what I got to do with that project. Part of it was the honor to play with these musicians before they die. You know, six of those guys have died since the CD was recorded. I feel really honored to be part of a project that pays tribute and honors an important part of American history and American music.
The Strat you posed with on our cover will be in your new Fender line. How much is that gonna set me back? 'Cause I've got to own that. I'm not sure exactly, but it will probably be somewhere between $500 and $900. They will tell me once they get all their manufacturing costs figured out. That guitar was painted to match the Duster, but the one you can buy will be painted black and silver.
You use really thick strings, like an .011-gauge high E string. My hands are a bloody mess when I play those. That's got to be murder on your fingers. I would say that if you condition yourself to it, it's like busting knuckles working on a car. They just get conditioned to it and build up calluses. It makes your hands stronger. I do it because I get great tone out of doing it. There's no sacrificing great tone, and one of the ways I get it is by using the larger strings. It might be painful, but it's not any different than a guy working on engines everyday. And-I've done both! I've busted my knuckles and played guitar!
What kind of amp do you use to get that awesome sound? I use a variety of amps in the studio, but I'd say my favorite amps that I'm using right now are 1964 Vibroverbs made by Fender. They only made them for one year, maybe two, but it's a 45-watt amp with a 15-inch speaker, sometimes a JBL, and sometimes a Celestion. I really love the sound of those amps. Fortunately, Fender just reissued it, and I use two of them on stage.
If you had a choice, guitars or hot rods, which would you choose? Well, uhh, you know what, that's a really hard question to answer, like trying to pick your favorite child. But I have to point this out: If I didn't have the guitars, then I wouldn't have the cars!
When you're out on the road, do you ever go crazy not being able to drive your cars? (Laughs.) Yes, when I'm in the middle of a project car and I'm on the road, I have a yearning to be involved. I really hope to get to a point in my career where I can afford to bring one of my cars out on the road with me.
Any other car nuts in your entourage? What about Noah Hunt, your singer? Noah isn't so much a car nut, but our drummer, Chris Layton, who was also the drummer for Stevie Ray Vaughn's band, Double Trouble, sure is. Chris used to collect and restore cars. When I first met him, he was trying to sell me a '64 Mustang convertible he had just restored. We spend many hours out on the road talking about cars and benchracing.
Have you ever run any of your cars at the track? No, officially, I have not, but that's because of my touring schedule. Most drag racing is in the spring and summer, when the touring is heavy. I just never had the opportunity. I'd like to take out the SRT-8. People don't recognize it so readily as they do the Xtreme Lee Charger, and I don't know if I'd want to be recognized on my first time out. I did the Panoz driving school on the road course at Road Atlanta. That was fun.
Tell us about doing the Hot Rod Power Tour in the Duster. I handed the keys to the Duster to the guys at Year One at SEMA last year, and they took it back to Georgia. We set a deadline to get it running to make its debut on the Power Tour. They did it, and we headed down the road. I'm very proud to say I did the whole Power Tour with no mechanical problems. I'll be there next year too. After the first year, I went to my management and told them to never book me during Power Tour, whatever week that is. Both years doing it, I've been a guest of Year One, so if anybody wants to find me, all they have to do is look for the Year One trailer.
Compared to other celebrities, you're really approachable. You don't seem to mind car guys you've never met before hanging around you. Do you ever get tired of it? No, I can't say that I've ever gotten tired of it. All my life, whenever people ask me if I wasn't playing guitar for a living, what would I do? And it would be doing car stuff. Building cars and hanging out with car guys.
By the time you were 18, you had pretty much achieved everything. Now that you're 30, what is it in life that you really want? At the top of the list is to provide for my family, and to be able to play music for the rest of my life. Somewhere between all of that, I really would like the opportunity to have my own shop. Restoration and customization, you know.

Amber Alert canceled after Torrington infant, mother found safe in Arizona
Multiple agencies involved in multi-state search for Torrington child, mother
TORRINGTON >> A tense multi-state manhunt for a Torrington woman who police say abducted her infant daughter ended in Prescott Valley, Arizona, where authorities said they found the two unharmed, near the residence of a relative.
More than a dozen hours after Torrington police issued an Amber Alert for 1-month-old Shiloh Gilbert-Alfar, and after state police, agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children were tapped for help, she was found safe at about 3:45 p.m. Monday, more than 2,100 miles away from home, along with her 30-year-old mother, Amirah Alfar.
Last seen with her mother in Torrington Saturday, Shiloh was taken into custody by the Arizona Department of Children and Families and taken to a hospital to be evaluated as a precaution.
Alfar is expected to be interviewed by authorities, but was not in custody or under arrest Monday, Torrington police Lt. Bart Barown said. It's unclear if she'll be extradited to Connecticut to face charges. He said Alfar and her daughter flew to Arizona, possibly from Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks.
They were found at a Maverik convenience store, miles from a house owned by Alfar's grandfather, said Lt. Brandon Bonney, spokesman for Prescott Valley police.
Court records seem to point to a bitter custody dispute as an explanation for Alfar's irrational behavior.
Shiloh was born May 27, about a month before DCF sought a court order to take custody of the child. Police said DCF was supposed to take custody of the child this weekend, but several attempts to locate the baby and her mother were unsuccessful.
Police were contacted Sunday night and an Amber Alert was issued a few hours later.
DCF wouldn't comment on the why it sought the court order, but court records reviewed by The Register Citizen and an interview Salvatore Latina, the father of Alfar's 7-year-old daughter, granted WFSB suggested Alfar is suffering from chronic drug abuse.
The paternity of Shiloh is also in dispute, with Alfar claiming in court papers Latina is the father.
In court papers filed Friday in Litchfield, Thomas Waterfall, an attorney for Latina, cited the woman's use of "illegal substances" in asking a magistrate to suspend Alfar's visitation rights, not allow the couple's daughter to be treated or prescribed medication by a doctor other than primary pediatrician, Dr. Joel Markowski, of Torrington, and bar Alfar from removing her daughter from school.
Waterfall said the woman is on a methadone regimen and used the drug while driving the couple's daughter around. Waterfall asked a magistrate to sign off on an order imposing supervised visits.
"The plaintiff mother is continually putting the child at risk and therefore the defendant father believes that the present visitation rights should be suspended and the mother required to have supervised visitation only," Waterfall said.
Motions were not granted or denied by a magistrate, and a court clerk said hearings on the custody dispute and motions are expected later this month, on July 7 and July 21.
The custody dispute centered on the couple's 7-year-old daughter.
In May of last year, the couple agreed to modify an agreement to split custody of the child, after Almar was removed as a the child legal guardian in November 2008, court documents show,
An amended agreement reinstated shared custody and barred Latina from "unilaterally alter[ing] or cancel[ing] the mother's parenting time/access with the child."
Both Latina and Alfar filed contempt motions accusing each other of not abiding the agreement.
Alfar said in a letter in January that Latina stopped her from picking up their daughter from school in June, claiming it was retaliation "because he is listed as a possible father to my newborn child."
"He will be pursued by DSS for parentage concerns and I have recently asked DCF to investigate our daughters' harsh emotional treatment and possible medical neglect at the hands of those of his girlfriend," Alfar wrote.
Alfar said she contacted Winchester police to report alleged neglect, but that they refused to intervene and advised her to contact court officials.
"As a self-represented party who cannot afford legal counsel, I am throwing myself at the mercy of the court to aid me in maintaining my legal rights to be with our daughter."
Latina, who listed addresses in Torrington and Winsted, couldn't be reached for comment. He told WFSB he has full custody of the couple's daughter and wasn't shocked Alfar fled the state with her newborn.
"She's not a mom," he said, according to the network. "She doesn't care what happens to her kids. I talked to DCF on Friday and they basically told me they were going to take the kid from her because she (has) a substance abuse problem."
She's put my kid through torture for the last seven years. In her life, out of her life."
Investigators early Monday visited the 89 Hillside Ave. home of Anita Gilbert, believed to be the mother of Alfar, but didn't make contact with or interview her.
Agents with the FBI were tapped by city and state police to aid the investigation.
"We have the ability to do some things that smaller police departments might not be able to do," said Daniel Curtin, a special federal agent in the New Haven bureau. He declined to elaborate how the FBI helped local investigators. "Getting into the specifics of this investigation isn't prudent."
Alfar's address is also listed in public records as 89 Hillside Ave. in Torrington.
Police didn't execute a search and seizure warrant on the three-family brick residence, Torrington police Lt. Bart Branow said, nor did they have information suggesting Alfar contacted or visited Gilbert over the weekend, before fleeing with the infant to Prescott Valley, Arizona.
A door on third-floor of the run-down, three-story brick house was left unlocked and ajar. The inside of the home appeared well kept.
Similac baby formula, a bicycle and a poster appearing to be a child's school work were left on a bench in the porch of the front entrance. Letters spelling out "A. Alfar" and the name of Alfar's 7-year-old daughter on a mailbox.
No one answered the door when a reporter knocked.
Alfar doesn't have a criminal record in Connecticut, but was issued a speeding infraction in April, when she was pulled over on Dibble Street after police said she was clocked traveling 57 miles per hour in a 35-mile-per-hour zone, in a green Volvo XC-70 registered to Anita Gilbert, on East Main Street. The infraction is for $216, and Alfar is scheduled to appear in court on the charge on July 2.

CANNES, France (AP) — America has seen its first black president and Eva Longoria has high hopes that the country's first Latino president won't be far behind.
"With the demographic changes in the United States, there's definitely, inevitably going to be a Latino president," the actress said.
Returning to the French Riviera for her ninth Cannes as L'Oreal ambassador, Longoria spoke about her hopes to promote future leaders from the Latino community through her newly launched Latino Victory Project.
In a Saturday interview, Longoria said it looks for people "promoting a pro-Latino agenda, pro-immigration, pro-education reform, pro-health care" and candidates who are "fighting the fight right now in our politics."
And talking further on the hot topic of U.S. immigration reform, the Democrat says she hopes to see some positive action soon: "It's been blocked by a certain few people in the government and I'm hoping we can continue to push it through before the next election." Congressional elections are in the fall.
Since the end of "Desperate Housewives," Longoria has been on been the other side of the camera as the executive producer on the Latina comedy-drama TV series "Devious Maids" and the documentary "Food Chains," highlighting the plight of exploited farm laborers.
She says it's important for her to "represent the right things in television or in film."
"You know I've been really lucky to have choices and I don't really want to work unless the work is important or something I want to do, or something fun and exciting," she said.

Well, we do have the most gorgeous places to go biking, there is no doubt about THAT.
We went along the Platte River trail again last night, in the other direction this time, and stopped to take a couple of beautiful photos. We JUST got back on our bikes again when I heard a crash behind me.
There were the girls, both tangled up in their bikes. Chloe got up and for a moment I thought Heidi's leg might be broken as it seemed trapped at a weird angle in her bike frame. Thankfully neither of them was really hurt. We headed for home.
Chloe is covered with bumps and bruises and cuts and Heidi has some bruises too, but some chocolate cake for dessert heals many, many hurts... lol
Check out my new wheels!!! It's a SWEET ride, let me tell you! When the girls and I are out in it, we open the moon roof, turn on the iPod, and go exploring!
I LOVE my life.
Oh. I have posted some new photo albums on my Webshots page- the link is on the right of this page, if you want to have a browse.

Linux is based on what you think about it. If you think that it's difficult to learn then it will be. If you think that it's easy to learn then why you wait to switch your Operating System to Linux.
If you are a beginner with Linux, you can start with Dual Boot, like what I did before. Step by step, replace your applications with applications in Linux. For example, if you use MS-Word in Win*, you can start replace it with OpenOffice Writer. For tailor made program that you may use in your work (of course you will not find in Linux), you can use Virtual Machine to run it.
For me, I need few months before I totally use 100% Linux in my Laptop. So, just take your time.
You can see at my desktop screen below, what I can do with Linux, especially with Ubuntu Gutsy. The good part is, it's ALL FREE.
So, why do you still wait for migration?

Police divers find second body in flooded creek
UPDATE: Police have found a second body at the flooded Sandy Creek near Gatton.
The body is that of missing Taiwanese national Jerry Yukun, 25.
He had not been seen since leaving Gatton in the early hours of Sunday morning to travel to work at Mulgowie.
Police found the body 300 metres from where two submerged cars were pulled from the swollen creek.
TODAY 2.45PM: Police divers have discovered a body in the second car located submerged in Sandy Creek near Gatton this morning.
The body is believed to be of a Malaysian Mulgowie farm worker.
The search and rescue operation started for two men after another vehicle, a white 1997 Mitsubishi Magna was located in the same vicinity yesterday afternoon.
It is believed the Magna was being driven by a 25-year-old man travelling from Gatton to Mulgowie for work about 5am on Sunday.
Police were also searching for a 34-year-old man who was travelling from Gatton to Mulgowie for work at the same time, but failed to arrive and has not made contact with colleagues since.
Both vehicles have been extracted from the creek.
SES crews are continuing to search the area.
Anyone with information which could assist in police is urged to contact Policelink on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers.
TODAY 11AM: Police divers have located a second submerged car in Sandy Creek during their search for two missing men.
Grave fears are held for Jerry Yukun, 25, and a Malaysian national, 34, as police have now found both their cars in a flooded creek.
A tow truck is expected to retrieve the second vehicle soon so it can be searched.
It is full of debris and rescue workers cannot see inside the vehicle.
TODAY 10AM: Police divers are searching a creek in the Gatton/Laidley area for two workers missing since Sunday morning.
The men were heading to work at Mulgowie Farms about 5am. Creeks were flooding in the area at the time.
A police command centre had been set up on Woodlands Rd between Gatton and Laidley on the banks of Sandy Creek.
Officers have cordoned off an area and unconfirmed reports said they had found submerged cars.
The workers were travelling to work in separate cars.
About 30 police officers are at the site.
EARLIER: Grave fears are held for a Taiwanese national who has been missing in the Lockyer Valley for four days.
Jerry Yukun, 25, has not been heard from since the early hours of Sunday morning after leaving his Gatton home to travel to work at Toogoolawah.
It is understood Mr Yukun was driving along water-logged roads in an attempt to get to work at the time.
He did not make it to work and has not been seen since.
Concerned friends spent yesterday scouring the streets of Laidley looking for any signs of the missing man.
Mr Yukun's distraught partner Fibi Lin said it was out of character for him not to have made contact with anyone from his close-knit circle of friends.
"We have not seen or heard from him since 5am on Sunday," Miss Lin said.
"We are extremely worried and concerned for his safety.
"We have tried calling his phone but it is switched off," she said.
Miss Lin said a missing person's report has been lodged with Queensland police.
"They have told us to wait and see if he returns home," she said.
A Gatton police spokesman has confirmed a missing person's report had been lodged and investigations are under way.
"It is extremely concerning, especially in the current situation, that a person has not been seen or heard from since setting out for work four days ago," he said.
