I was at the show at the Egg in Albany as well. I totally agree this is a must see for any Byrds fan who has any chance to catch this show. I had goose bumps all night. Both Chris and Roger were in great form but when you add Marty Stuart and the Superlatives this goes to a level that is simply impo...

Interesting question. At the risk of sounding like a politician I think the question has a yes, as well as no, answer. I realize the question was meant to ask if they are still relevant with the generation that today is the same age as those of us who were in our teens and early 20's back in the 60'...

Hey Sorry Tom!!! Looks like your last name may have been the victim of a bit too much "inspiration" as David defines it, while I was typing that ! Moral of the story, don't drink and type !!! :-). And hey I've enjoyed listening to what you call screeching on Let It Be several times now sin...

Hey all, just back from the West coast where I had the chance to write a new tune with my Byrd brother David Whitt, and east coast great musician, and recording buddy, Joe Macaluso, who joined me on the trip. The link below shows the making of the tune, as well as, if you hold on a bit as it ends, t...

Actually the link to the site I think whitford mentions is below, Drum ( and bass) Tracks Jim McCarty........ Good stuff

Hey Karl , Just got back from Jackson Hole and getting caught up on things. As to your question here, knowing you I would think you would have video Folkie recommends, but just in case you don't, I do have it. So your certainly welcome to borrow it for as long as you need it. It's been a long time s...

Hi Robert, Hey you know, I never gave changing to a 12 saddle bridge on my 360/12 a thought. The intonation problem is really the most serious. If I could resolve that problem I bet all the other things I mentions could then be better dealt with. Thanks for the comment and idea........... I'll give ...

Hey Karl, yes it has been a very long time!!! What do you mean "there were shorts in the wiring, and other's had wired the electronics the wrong way? I assume these guys either had, or obtained from Rickenbacker, the original Ric wiring diagram for the on board compressor? Are you saying the to...

Folkie, Regarding my comment and your question regarding my 360/12. Specifically, this guitar is very difficult for me to play. On the other hand my LERM 370/12 is very easy to play. I have contacted Rickenbacker, and have spoken with a very helpful person who assures me the necks are the same. One ...

Karl, I haven't lookd into this forum in many months, so I just saw your posts here on this subject. So what exactly was the problem with your Ric?? From the sounds of what I read esp your comments about the toggle switch it was something specific in the hard "wiring" rather than a weak ba...

Hey Drumbob, I haven't visited this site in over a year and was surprised to see you had recently posted this video of SDCAT we did a few years ago......... Cool.......... You mention how you need to do a little explanation each time you play this. I totally understand where your coming from. It's b...

Yes Davey Jones was also part of that cast. The very young boy singing the second part of this tune in this video is Ronnie.

Playing in bands while growing up in Meriden CT. 50 years ago I knew two young boys. Paul and Ronnie Kroll. I crossed paths with Paul often playing in local bands. Anyway both these guys were lucky enough to have won spots in the Broadway musical, Oliver. Ronnie won the lead role, and Paul a support...

I guess for me I simply don't see what purpose a 7 string guitar plays. If you already have a 12 string and your considering a 7 string then why not simply remove the other 5 strings and save yourself a couple of thousand dollars, and one less guitar. In fact you can also just remove 4 strings and h...

Hi Folkie, Good question!!!! I didn't get my guitar new from Martin ( about $6900 as I recall) but I got my guitar second hand from Ebay for about $4400 about 10 years ago. It is number 10 out of I think only 65. At first I was very disappointed, both in the sound from the guitar, and not happy with...
