| Did the instruments sound authentic, or more authentic because they were played on steel (and able to bend strings) as it said in the article? |
No, they sounded odd to me. |

Jody Sanders - Thank you. I'm looking forward to studying "Tommy Dorsey Boogie" and "Twin Steel Boogie".
Now, to the rest of you - the mention of Al's name stirs up quite a hornet's nest among some of you. The humor I appreciate, given the circumstances of Al's imprisonment. But I have to agree with the camp that feels that Al has received his judgment, and that is that.
My personal feeling is that a great number of my musician friends are fairly eccentric. It's guys like Al who help make my eccentric friends appear a bit more normal.

Heres my opinion, based on one live tape.
His "Guitarorchrestra" sounded like a Roland Midi Pickup played by an intermediate player on a standard guitar.
He played Amazing Grace and similar tunes.
Pipe Organ sounds, Bells, etc.
If you never heard MIDI you might be impressed.
I suspect driving his Rolls Royce to court wasn't a wise move. |
