I replaced mine.......

I replaced the Starter pickup with a 10-1. I would call Carter just to make sure the one you want will fit to be sure though. Great change in the tone. I'm almost sorry I sold it now as I also could find it usefull as a rehearsal guitar.

Man what a great show

You've got a great gig there....you are really lucky. It's the first time seeing Dwight live and I gotta say it rocked. No bull, no fluff, more than an hour and a half of great music. He won over a very mixed audience (it was a trade show party) and pleased everyone. Wow!

Steel Player with Dwight Yoakim?

I got to see Dwight and the band in Las Vegas this past week at the Palms for a private party on the rooftop. Great show! Fantastic! The steel player also played a number of other instruments but only played steel on a few. Anyone know who that is? On the D sings B album it says Josh Grange and Dwig...

I just noticed

when tuning my C6 Carter that on one page of the Carter book it says D or G for the first string. If it's D it's supposed to be a .012 and if it's G it says a .015. I have a .012 on there and tuning to G. I tuned down to D and it feels spongy....and the little I've learned on C6th is now altered. Hm...

Yup

I still sleep with my eyes open. It freaks out the wife, dog, and cats and kids. I think it was more like '73 (or even earlier) Jory because I know I was back living in Salem in 75. It is all a blur. Remeber the Marzipan Band? I have Mark's 72 P bass still.

Paddles

I was actually going to start a thread asking if anyone knew where to get "paddles" to be attached to levers. When I sit at my Carter the RKR is the furthest pedal in on the guitar and my whole sitting position is defined by it. Anyone know if someone makes these? :?

Hey Dave M..........

I was at that Janice Joplin show at Harvard Stadium. That summer they had an incredible series of concerts. I saw Ike and Tina, Mountain,and a bunch of others. I'm from West Roxbury and a bunch of us would go every week. Also the shows at Boston Tea Party and Psykadelic (sp?) Supermarket. Whoo- hoo!...
