    Just to be clear.  My enhancing was equally problematic.  I tended to enhance, enhance, enhance . . . 

    Now that I'm sober, the only real triggers come from the escape side.

    @Jerry Callo Man...I've never been able to express this, but you just hit the nail on the head for me.   We were on a two week trip recently with free beer and wine at the hotels.  Never really wanted a drink at all until my wife started bitching about whatever she was bitching about that day...then I just wanted to go to the bar and disappear.

  2. NPD on Tues. Been looking for a reverb pedal with more ambient options than what I have, but didn't want to go full Strymon $$$$ and the huge footprint. Them Strymon does this.

    Love the stuff at the 6:30 more with the tap pedal and freezing the sound. You can also save one sound in the pedal and another one in the pedal to toggle back and forth.

    Anyone know anything about Lowden acoustics?  From Ireland, high end, supposed to be on par with Martin, Gibson, Collings?  An O35 model with a ridiculous flamed body showed up for sale locally.  Dude’s including a strap signed by Tommy Emmanuel.  Prices on reverb are all above $7k, this is priced at $4.5k.

    Never seen a Lowden in that big body or maple.  Richard Thompson plays a lot of Lowdens.  Seem to be better fit for finger picking.  Everyone I've ever played has been incredible.  That thing is beautiful.

  4. Fuck...   Anyway, 

    My wife has some symptoms that are displayed by Mrs. Cumsteen. But she buys them and puts them in the basement, never to be seen again.

    We bought a kickass rug at a rug making school while we were in Egypt a couple of weeks ago.  She said she would like one...I said buy but.....then my normal question...    "Where are you going to put it".   

    Then the normal response.  "After we    blah, blah, blah, blah renovate, HGTV, wood floor in room ABC, yada, yada.:"   
    Me:  I'm not paying for rug just to stick it in the basement.  We already have probably 5 rugs down there."
    Her:  OK.  We will put it in the front room.
    It gets delivered today......I will update at that point.

    In the meantime, ABOVE are some windows that 'reportedly' came out of an old church in Port St. Joe.  She found them in an antique shop down there. 
    I had to wrap them and stuff them in my kayaks to get them home.  Since then (about 8 years ago) they have yet to see the light of day...or a paint scraper.

    There are MANY more of these such items in the basement and garage.  (multiple tables/chairs, MULTIPLE framed pictures of all sizes, knick-knacks and paddy-whacks of all shapes and sizes, beds and bed frames, book shelves and other large bedroom furniture.  I used to not give a shit, but fuck me...I can barely more around the upstairs of our house because of all the furniture.....the basement?   No fucking way.  I stay out of that part.

    But I have a shot glass with guitar picks on my night stand?  "That doesn't fit the design I'm going for".  I busted out laughing, then fell over a new table that just appeared.  

    In the meantime, I'll be huffing a can or two of that Duster in the picture above

  5. Last one...the control of tone the Eddy shows here?  This was in 85.  Holy fuckity fuck.  The Shaver Live at Smith's Olde Bar is one of the best live guitar tones I've ever heard.

  6. Warner Hodges is one of my very favorites.  He has his killer tone on his Tele with Jason and the Scorchers and is now playing Les Pauls..........and still knocks it out of the park.

    What kind of guitar tone makes you wanna fiddle with your amp and pedals to emulate?

    Here are a few tones that got me twisting knobs.

     

    Anyone know who the guitarist is?

     

     

     

    That is Kevin McKinney on that solo.  I saw him touring with Bob before this album wat released.  I have a recording of him doing an extended version of this....and it is KILLER.  That dude is HIGHLY underrated.  And when you combine him with Bruce Hughes and Conrad.....holy fuck, what a band.

  8. The 'lead' guitar (call/response) on this.  Sounds like shit on youtube, but the album sounds fantastic.

     

    Same for Dave Alvin's strat sound.  Holyfuck.

  9. @G650  Honestly.  I've was a fan from the Live album that came out in the 77 up until Cronin completely pussed out.  I've read a ton of articles and dozens of interviews with him (albeit, mostly guitar/music related, and I've never heard anything bad, outside of his addiction problems...and Cronin constantly whining about him.

    On the totally making shit up at this point scale, I think the political blow back of "saving" SVB has made it impossible to save First Republic. The FDIC has to let it fail. 

    The chartering agency has to make that decision, not the FDIC.

    That's on you boys for allowing that insanity. 

    Ha.  Her money, her closet, her time.  She does the same thing with:  onions, shallots, 'essential' oils, olive oil and any number of things.  But I pick up an extra bottle of hot sauce..."WE HAVE ONE IN THE FRIDGE".   I look at the basket of shallots in the corner and shrug.  

    Women just aren't built to be happy or content.  If you don't fuck it up for them, they they will fuck it up for themselves.  Just how it works.

    Anything from Billy Duffy is on point. Since I got my '77 LP the new pickups and pots, it's like dead on a 70s LP Custom sound. The Cult is my first thought. The Bauhaus shout out is strong too.
     
     
    Gary Richrath was fucking clown though.
    What is the creep and clown comment about Richrath? Outside of his addiction issues, I've never heard anything bad about him.
  13. On the song Southern Accents, Petty said that when he was in Europe (France or Italy...can't remember) a fan told him how much that song meant to him.  Petty asked if the guy had lived in the US.  He said no....lived her all my life.  The people in the northern part of the country thing all of the people in the southern part or stupid, backwards trash.    

    For me, the comparison between Springsteen and Petty is that Petty is relatable by everyone while Springsteen, especially early stuff, has a much more limited fanbase.  Not a bad thing.  Just the way I see it. 

    And one the Wildflowers album.....I think that a lot of the glowing reviews had to do more with the subject matter and how he was processing this life at the time.   I have everything Petty ever released (at least I think I do) and I love EVERY album of his.  I can't say that about any other artist. 

    Oh, Mojo is also an incredibly underrated album.

    I think Highway Companion is Petty's latter day masterpiece and it mostly feels loose and breezy, as opposed to dragging (the way King does).

    For me, this is his most underrated album.  So many GREAT songs, all built around going back to Florida.
