Congrats John. I love my D-10. Just sounds right.

It was a really a special show. I didn't play, a friend of mine helped Brian Blade promote this show and the Fellowship show on Saturday at the Bagdad. Both shows were benefits for the Portland rescue Mission. Greg used one of my amps and some other gear. It was great, I got to hang out from noon to...

They recorded it, but I haven't heard yet whether they'll release it. There was some talk of a re-release of Wrecking Ball with live cuts, but I don't know if that will happen. They played that album in it's entirety that night. Great concert.

I recorded this during rehearsal for an Emmylou Harris show in Portland last week. During a break, Daniel Lanois and Greg Leisz started jamming. I thought some of you might be interested.

I'd like one, thanks.

Micky,

If you end up near Hood River, give me a yell and I'll buy you lunch, a beer, or both.

Man, that's a hair helmet she has if there ever was one.

Bob,

Another case closed.

Rick

bump because I posted this in the wrong category at first.

You bet Johnny. Bob, you can close this one. Donation's on the way. Thanks.

Johnny, I didn't get your e-mail. Try rick@djangoscadillac.com

I bought this guitar used to see if I wanted to try and learn pedal steel.Turns out I did so I bought a Derby. This one's been sitting in the corner of my room all alone and needs a new home. Everything works. I have the documentation that came with it including the DVD that tells you which end to b...

This is a Peterson tuner with the E9 and C6th presets, among other presets. Works great. I have the AC adapter and bracket that allows you to attach it to the leg of your steel. The end of the bracket that goes into the tuner got bent in my seat a little, but still works. $160 shipped to Continental...

That's my old friend John Reed on guitar. He's from Lubbock and has been living in Austin for years and years. He played with Doug Sahm for many moons and currently plays with The Lucky Tomblin Band alongside Redd Volkert, Earle Pool Ball, and Cindy Cashdollar among others. In case you didn't get th...

Looking forward to it Larry.

Huh?

I go to the beauty shop and have them paint acrylic stuff on the nails of my right hand. I've been doing it for years for guitar. It works great and if any of the ladies look funny at me I just tell 'em it make me feel pretty.

In defense of Tele players, we're not all idiots with Twins on 11. I have an Atomic Space Tone. 5 screaming little watts. That's all I need. I played a dance hall big enough to hold 1500, not that it did that night mind you, and it was fine. Check it out.

After 30 years as an Electrical Engineer, I now, in the words of Grady on Sanford and Son, have a wife and a TV and they both work. I work about 8 hours a week as the IT guy at a local Hospice, teach guitar lessons and play. So, basically I worked for 30 years in order to be able to afford to eke ou...

I just got back from a 4 day run of road gigs and I got my copy of "Spanish Steel" right before we left. We spent the whole trip listening to the CD. I'd like to take this opportunity to nominate this CD for a Grammy for the Most Coolest Awesome Record to Come Out in a Long Time. Buy one f...

When I heard the original version of Walk Don't Run by Johmmy Smith it was a total revelation. It reminds of what Bach would play if he were a jazz musician.

I'm sure you've seen the interview with Willie where he said that that laid back style came from being loaded and coming in at the last possible minute because he was trying to remember the words.

If they really and truly do that, then they have way more available brain cells than me (maybe thanks to the Lost Years). I might occasionally think of something like that as just a fleeting thought, but it's sure not a regular thing or anything I'd try to do. When I play I'm just trying to sing thr...

I don't remember Ric, but the piece called "Capriccio Espagnol" builds in intensity through the last half, and last minute or 2 required 109 tracks to complete.

Mike, you are one truly obsessed individual. I love it.

Ben said, hell, even when i am playing it I dont think "I am playing this and it is a mxylodian scale" or "I am gonna play this next Dom Maj7 chord behind the beat "Mixolydian scale" is really just a term that describes a particular sound. Terms that like that and other part...
