    That’s what I’ve always understood.

    Always been a big Jackson brown fan. Not only does he have great songs. He gave us fucking Stevie Ray.

    Though in fairness someone else would have done it if he didn’t. But still.

    SRV got booed at Montreux in 82, but apparently Browne was there and offered the space, then John Hammond heard it and they remastered those to make Texas Flood.  Also around that time, Mick Jagger hired SRV and the band to play his birthday party.    That is how David Bowie met SRV and asked him to join his band for the Serious Moonlight tour.  Bowie was practicing with that band in Los Colinas and Dallas was going nuts about it. (The recordings are a ton of fun to listen to).  Texas Flood still hadn't been released and here was the hometown boy about to tour in Bowie's band.  Tickets sold out for Bowie's Dallas show VERY quickly, back in the days of having to stand in line at the Ridgmar Mall JC Penneys.  

    Then Muddy Waters dies in May; SRV skips rehearsals;  stories differ here but Bowie brought in Earl Slick and left for the tour.  A month later, they released Texas Flood.   I thought him leaving that band was going to be the end of his career.  They held off releasing it because of the tour, then when that didn't happen, I thought the label was going to shit-can that record.

    He died 7 months later.  Man.

    First time most people had seen him after rehab.  There was a lot of talk about where he would be able to play again...they whole muscle memory/playing while wasted.   Can he do it sober?   After the first 2 seconds, it was obvious that question was answered.  I still lost my breathe just watching that again.  

    They seem to have removed that most of the performances from Youtube.  That version of Pride and Joy.........wow.  

     

  3. Interested to see what that Guild 12 string goes for.  To me, that is a very important guitar in music history.  SRVs, refreshed and sober, simply destroying a 12 string, acoustic guitar.  Solo.    I've mentioned before, but that Sunday night, I was sitting on the couch, playing my 12 string and that Unplugged came on.  I put that guitar back in the case and didn't touch it for over a year.  I mean, what's the fucking point.

  4. Did someone mention camping?   Evan Dando weighed in a few years ago.

     

     

    Always had a roof above me
    Always paid the rent
    But I've never set foot inside a tent
    Can't build a fire to save my life
    I lied about being the outdoor type
     
    I've never slept out underneath the stars,
    The closest that I came to that was one time my car
    Broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night
    I lied about being the outdoor type
    .
    Too scared to let you know you knew what you were looking for
    I lied until I fit the bill god bless the great indoors
    I lied about being the outdoor type
    I've never owned a sleeping bag let alone a mountain bike
     
    I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend
    What if somethings on tv and its never shown again
    Its just as well I'm not invited I'm afraid of heights
    I lied about being the outdoor type
     
    Never learned to swim can't grow a beard or even fight
    I lied about being the outdoor type

    I love that chord shape for D.  Sorta similar, I'll often drop the D played by the pinky on the 5th string and just play open A with the 3rd inversion D triad over it, maybe adding the 2nd F# on the first string.  It is more often considered an A6sus chord, but it works anywhere a D can be placed as the low A is also in the D triad.

    If you do it in drop-D tuning, it is so big and beautiful. Like a Vic Mackey match.com pairing.

    @Goredho  Where are you grabbing these images from?

    Thanks man. I do try to make it sound good. It’s always surprising to me how many folks I see who do what we do that don’t sound that great.

    It’s not super complicated. Signal chain is Larrivee with LR Baggs Anyhem pickup, going into the pedal board below. Then into a Electrovoice EV 30M tower array (way better than Bose, built in mixer we run with the iPad). Also using an additional QSC 8.2 as a second main.



    Pedal board is boss eq into LR Baggs Venue preamp. The TC Helicon boxes are for vocals and they are magic.

    Thanks.  I have that Duplicator and LOVE it.  

  7. Good Lord @tbone_  That sound is incredible...and her voice on "Tumblin' Dice".  Good grief.  (about the 2:41)

    What are you running the guitar thru?  Sound is amazing..especially considering the outdoor environmen.

  8. Oh, I could never own a custom.  I feel stupid being seen with such a guitar.  Looking at the electrics on my wall>

    Mex Nashville Tele:  Used for $200
    Epi 339:  Used for $170
    Gretsch hollowbody:  Used for $500 
    Epi Century (1962):  Traded a rarely play 2014 LP Standard Honeyburst.   About $2100 value.  The tag from Carter's in the Epi case listed $2,600.

    My 2 acoustics were bought new.  
    I feel bad being seen with the Gretsch because it is the Falcon color scheme.  Very gaudie looking.  Just too good of a deal to pass up.

    Just got this 1973 Les Paul Custom. It’s better than my R9 and not worth as much.  Pickups are the only thing not stock and they are 1970’s DiMarzio Super Distortion….. but as soon as I can find a good set of T-tops or Patent Sticker humbuckers I’m going to fix that.

    Black pickguard and knobs takes me back to when I first fell in live with LPs.  I still kick myself for not buying that White Custom in 1977.

    That first Marshall Crenshaw album still gets a lot of play around casa de hulla.  Same for Everywhere At Once.  Oldest Story In The World is a top 10 song for me.  I've seen Peter Case a bunch of times, and he's never played that song.  My brother says every time he see Peter, he plays it.  I once saw him play back to back sets.....only repeated one song and he never played Oldest Story.  

     

    Peter's album, Full Service No Waiting doesn't have a bad song on it.  Same for his 1986 debut album. 
    I LOVE this one from Full Service.  "Going out tonight, way downtown. Where my friends who died still hang around"  Wow.

    Is there a good phrase for “I don’t have any power over this and so I’ve chosen to not to concern myself about it” that doesn’t sound the same as “I don’t care.”? That’s the petard I keep hoisting myself on in relationship fights, saying “I don’t care” when I mean “there’s nothing for me to do”, and once I say it about the wrong thing that’s ballgame.

    I took Wellbutrin for a bit in high school, which… I don’t recall it having much of an effect but I don’t think i was really depressed so much as 16 with a dead mom. I would investigate though if I felt like it could help.

    I constantly tell my wife, "I have no power over it......so I can't waste my energy worrying about it".  It's one of the very, very few things I say that she doesn't have a retort for.

    1) Hit local vending machines.

    2) Drop dimes in the slot and buy every last bag of

    3) Set up a roadside Funyun stand, sell them for the price you paid at the vending machine

    4) EVERY PENNY YOU MAKE IS PURE PROFIT!

    Did you know Jim Albright?  Or his wife, Ducky?
