I'm betting he went bald...

The first time I heard Pete Seeger play live was a solo performance at the Univ. of Colorado in 1966. I was blown away by his guitar playing skills. I knew he could play the banjo, but the guitar work (particularly on the Martin D-12-20 he played) was just stellar.

John Denver did an interesting ...

Is this the 370-12 with Roger's name under it I just saw hanging on the wall (over the grill area)of the London Hard Rock Cafe?

Saw them twice in the mid 60's. Showman amps were the pick.

Cool!

Roger played in April at a winery on the San Francisco Peninsula (just a few doors away from Neil Young's ranch).

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend.

You'll see nothing but praise for this wonderful box in this Forum. Everyone should own one!

Steve speaks the truth!

I received my JangleBox and it is a clear WINNER over the BOSS CS-3.

My BOSS CS-3 is now for sale if anyone is interested.

Got my JangleBox today and it is a winner! It clearly outperforms the BOSS CS-3 I had been using with my '66 Ricky 360-12 when it comes to getting The BYRDS sound.

I still prefer the sound of running the JangleBox into my BOSS RV-3 Digital Reverb/Delay set (l to r) at "9:00", "9:00", "9:00", "5 ...
