After nearly 40 years, our band finally went into the studio. We did some doubling for a couple of leads that turned out great. I've been considering trying a couple of pedals (Keeley, Mimiq) to reproduce that effect on stage. My current "rig" is a JB3 through the normal channel of an AC15...

Best picture in the whole book. Only reflections of a shadow. Rock in Peace, Brother Croz!

I had Pyramids on my 360/12 with hi-gain pups. I didn’t like them. I wonder if they sound better with toaster tops, through something really bright like a Vox amp. For my rig and sound, it was not happening. I have toasters with TIs going through an AC15. I couldn’t ask for a better combination for...

I guess it has to start with Dylan, via Desire - which was only a few years old when I was introduced to it. From there, I bought Highway 61 and the greatest hits. So, one day when I was searching through the cut outs at the Rickety Rack Record Shack, I pulled out a copy of The Byrds’ Mr Tambourine ...

Wellllll.......they might have thought they were making jazz......but what came out was psychedelia. Which after all (IMO) psychedelia, more or less, is nothing but punk hard bop anyway. And I don’t know why McGuinn is so fussy about it, since EMH practically sprang the genre. It was a drug song bec...

Agreed on all points, Drumbob. I just wish it for Crosby, more than anything. He owes me a show from last May, that I doubt he’ll ever get to play, but that’s all right. I hope he still gets the money, because he needs it. Despite his bouts of arrogance and a mouth big enough to hold both feet, I’ve...

Its been a bad year for the Cros - diagnosed with tendonitis. He might never play guitar again. If they can all survive the virus, RM needs to relent and agree to reform and tour again. They are going to need the money! Has anybody seen the outtakes from REMEMBER MAY NAME? Both Chris and RM say some...

Thanks, Peter - Great to be here!

Yep- Twang Side of the Moon! No doubt, Marty is a musical visionary. Can’t say enough about that grainy 8mm film montage at the beginning of the show with the instrumental Mind Gardens outtake as the soundtrack. Younger Than Yesterday was so aptly titled in that it truly captured a child-like take o...

If you haven’t heard Stuart’s WAY OUT WEST record yet, I highly recommend checking it out.

Turned me into a veritable head-twanger of late! ( ;

Forgot I'd taken a picture!

Cheers, Peter!

Yep, I love those TV Jones - twang tone nirvana!

Heard the new ones are coming with Ray Butts.

Amen, and congratulations!

Kindest, most giving guitar ever made!!

A good argument can be made that the Telecaster is the "truth." If so, the SSU is a "beautiful lie!"
