  1. I was a HUGE Whiskeytown fan. Those live shows were either brilliant or a drunk train wreck. And, I likee everything he did as a solo artist and I can separate the artist from their beliefs and generally from their actions. But at some point, treating people like shit, over and over again, just gets to be too much. Emmylou tried to help him early on but when she cut bait with him, I figured something was up. Then when the stories started floating to the top about how he treated female singers, I don't care how prolific he was/is. Fuck him. [/putting my soapbox away]
  2. It is about a guy on death row being put to death in an electric chair. Kelly said she did a show at a prison one time and picked that song, not thinking about the content. Yep...the entire world lost when Amy died. Dave Alvin wrote this song about her. Makes me cry every time I hear it. One time I introduced my daughter to Amy. She told my 15 yr old daughter...."Never get married."
  3. Never heard of song off Folklore. Hell, never heard of the album but like all that was posted above. Will have to listen more. Thanks for posting this. I never thought Liz Rose got the credit for those early songs she deserved and according to a couple of people I know, it really wasn't much of a co-write situation.
  4. Let's hear it, shall we. This album is fantastic. Just a phenomenal songwriter. "Your mother vacationed there on her senior trip"
  5. I had a Windham Hill sampler in college in the early 80s and quickly became a Michael Hedges fan. From listening, I had no idea how he was doing it but I loved it.
  6. Have to go back in a week. Still infected. Continued antibiotics. If not cleared up in a week, IV antibiotics or surgery to clean it out. Right now, finger just burns and itches constantly. Not a much pain now...and probably 90 percent movement has returned, but the infection really troubles him. I honestly wasn't that worried about it until talking to him. He was mighty quick to use the word 'amputation'. Played guitar for first time last night. I never realized how much I actually used my middle finger on my 'pickin' hand.
  7. Hey @Buzzrock. On the way back to the hand surgeon, I finally stopped in to Righteous. Holy fuckity fuck.
  8. I LOVE seeing Rosanne Cash and Suzanna Clark sitting in the audience in that show. What was the Damon Bramblett song were you searching for? I LOVE his songwriting. The first verse of Heaven Bound alone is fantastic. I LOVE that entire album. Electricity roared but you looked so bored on the lineNobody knows how it felt to see that cannonball melt in your mindCalling all cars, one less dog behind bars, one less man in painIt hurts to see you go but darling don't you know we're so glad you came
  9. Golf bag, back of amps, inside old guitar cases, were three surprise finds for me.
  10. Looking back through his catalogue to see where he got his songs. Never knew Cowboy Jack Clement wrote this one. Most of his 'hits' were by relatively unknown writers. Some things I read were that Jack Clement didn't want him singing his songs at first. I remember stories of him going to spring training with the Rangers a couple of times in the 70s.
  11. I was going to check in with you today about your hand. As I was dancing around the basement, shaking my hand, and scared to look at my hand....I thought of your ordeal.
  12. WooooHooooooo. We got our new guitar!!!!!!!!!!
  13. my typing is also obviously fucked as well.
  14. Apparently......though my fretting finders are intact. More of a Billy Joe look.
  15. Thanks for the recommendation. Looking forward to messing around with it. I shot a 2" finishing nail through my finger over the weekend, so my guitar playing is on hold. Only thing up in the air now is whether it is a temporary situation or if I'm going to be like Billy Joe Shaver and have one less digit to get in the way. Hand surgeon used the word 'amputation' earlier today...that kind of got my attention.
  16. Open it. It will get those cool cracks. Instant Relic. BINGO! I'm waiting on a package from Sweetwater. It's a TC Duplicator and a mic stand shelf. I'm opening it instantly. Fuck that sticker. Plus, I need my candy!
  17. This young guitarist I know has been talking up those Origin 50s for a while now. Do you have the combo or a head?
  18. I've posted this before. Talk about a classic country vibe.

  20. You are using a TC Helicon vocal processor? If so, which one? The Vocal Only or the Vocal-Guitar? I want to get one for my grandkids to use. I think the Vocal Only would be better for them, but I like the Vocal/Guitar harmony ability. And WOOOOHOOOOOO, just like that, we have a new guitar!

  22. Neither of my daughters were in to the music stuff. But I've recorded songs with the 6 and the 13 yr old already and now, when they hit the door, they head to the basement and start playing with the little drum machine. They name a song, I play it on youtube and learn it. Then we start recording. I'm using Reaper now and having to learn it. Also, my hardware setup isn't like I want it at all. Hopefully, that will be remedied by Christmas.
