This might be your cue to check for a pulse.
The Citroen was interesting. My buddy Mel who played drums used to have one. When you get in you have these hydraulic shocks that pump up the car. Mel was a doctor over at the CDC here in Atlanta. He used to do a lot of recreational drugs in years past. Would not go down to his basement in his own house because of the flashbacks.Bill Hatcher wrote:Let me go look at it one more time.James Mayer wrote:Really, Bill?

That was my initial impression - kinda like Tracy Chapman on quaaludes doing Norah Jones. It's agonizing to listen to the whole thing, and equally hard to make out all the words. If I write it off as a "mood piece", I can imagine it in a movie, and listening to it as the main character passes out from some reason or other.Bill Hatcher wrote:Absolutely nothing special about any of this, the tone, the playing, the chick, the video, the music, the song,none of it.....have these kids overdosed yet? They sound like they are right on the edge.
Because YOU like it. Or because (as b0b said) you don't want to haul extra equipment.why would you want to get that tone on a pedal steel? why would you want to hammer a nail into a wall with a screwdriver? right tool for the job and all that.....
They are if you want to play it that way, and in fact that's EXACTLY what the original pedal steel guitars were made for. You say you're not dictating how the instrument should be used - but that's EXACTLY what you're doing.The pedals aren't used to just change the tuning so you can play it like a lap steel or slide guitar.
Edited to add (because I missed this comment):

I don't think it so much that as it is that when someone tells us something is "killer" anything, we (more or less) expect something very impressive. Of course, something that impresses the heck out of one person may not do anything at all for another, so then you have a disconnect in taste that creates a chasm of misunderstanding. One man's trash is another man's treasure, and one man's dirt is another man's diamond. What we shouldn't do is get offended when someone doesn't like what we like, or do as we do.Sounds like the "tone police" are out and about again, trying to decide for other players what is and isn't acceptable pedal steel tone.
I'm impressed by subtlety.Donny Hinson wrote:

At some point you're going to tell me how you haul a PSG on the back of a fixie, mine keeps falling into the gutter and going out of tuneJames Mayer wrote:I guess I understand, actually. Nationalism and religion can cause an immediate negative reaction to me when mixed with music. Haven't been able to dig most gospel, modern country or sacred steel for this reason.
I'm not into drugs at all, but I don't mind the sound or the references when I hear them. I like the "induced" sound.
Me too!!!Dennis Olearchik wrote:I really like David Hartley's playing on the Youtube vids. And my wife especially likes his version of "You're Still The One"!
