 I think I'm going in the opposite direction lately, I only play my acoustics!

I get alot more opportunity around here to play my acoustic. And I tend to be a bit of an extremist. It's either the minimal technology of the acoustic or the full embrace of it with the pedal guitar.

I've done my time with acoustic instruments, although I play a few acoustic guitar gigs (sort of Gypsy style) per month, and I feel more in my element on electric instruments--always have. I feel much more inhibited with acoustic instruments and I can't play the music I want to, though it is fun to break it out every once in a while. I'm going to borrow my old tricone back for a few days and do some more Sol Hoopii stuff.
Merry Christmas everyone!

I just want to thank all who have purchased this package and for your kind words. It's wonderful to know that so many acknowledge Sol's greatness and when you get a chance to hear his electric recordings, you can hear the direct influence they had on players like Joaquin Murphey. Fascinatin' Rhythm is one of those cuts where this is really evident. I hope to do that one soon.
