Thanks @Chad Fuck Never considered that one. I LOVE what I hear on the demos. Exactly what I'm looking for, other than being close to $300 but my wife just bought a really expensive necklace in Israel....so I deserve this.

I have the Keeley Compressor in the Sweetwater clip above. I find I need one setting for single coils and a completely different one for humbuckers. At least for me and my simple brain, they need to do two different things depending on the pickups. For the single coils, I like the quack it gives me, but with the humbuckers, I seem to like it for for the sustain.
Anyone have a pedal they like for a rotary speaker effect? TC's Vibraclone seems to be the closest to what I want but it really seems to muddy up the tone. Maybe that is just part of it, but I've never really tried a rotary pedal that does what I want.

I just read an article about Dave Alvin and him coming back from cancer. This is the first thing that came to mind when I saw this thread.

Nothing against Charlie at all and if it came off as harsh, it wasn't meant that way. He was a really funny guy. He just lived life and attacked his career differently than his brother. And to think of that many great songs in one family, even including Robyn, is beyond amazing to me.

Gotta look at it like it is a job. To be....that is the difference between Bruce and Charlie Robison. Bruce attacks it like a job. Charlie was a good time dude, just getting by. Nothing against Charlie at all. But Bruce looks at it like a job. And the quality shows.

You're not wrong. Of the mega-talents, the chameleons end up being session guys. The iconoclasts end up being guitar heroes. I've never really thought about it, but it's true -- Page, Beck, Hendrix, SRV, Knopfler, Eric Johnson, EVH, Grissom, Walsh, even guys like The Edge and Jack White and Gibbons, immediately recognizable. Clapton is probably closer to being not as identifiable.
Fascinating.
Mine are SRV, Mike Campbell and Grissom. All unique...instantly recognizable.
Next on the list for me. Rich Brotherton. Can play anything, any style........always fantastic....never recognizable. For that reason, maybe he should be first in my list.

I got to meet him once, briefly, when he popped into one of the big rooms at Austin Rehearsal Complex where I was helping a band record some live demos. He was cool.
My stronger memory was when I went to the Hole In The Wall to see him on a Christmas night -- not Eve, 12/25 -- because I was single and didn't go home for Christmas. At that time HITW only had the tiny window stage on Guadalupe. He was absolutely captivating, a true showman. I couldn't believe how good he was. People who thought of him as some sort of old hippie cowboy were missing out, big time. Plus, the whole faux British invasion ruse with the quintet is fucking brilliant.
Bruce Robison wrote a song about him and the faux British stuff called "It Came From San Antonio" Sadly, not on youtube.

Yes, Will's been playing with them for a few months. Mostly percussion.
That's really cool. Didn't know that. I LOVED Funland.

I was talking with a buddy from treatment last night. He said, "The troubles I'm dealing with now? I would have PAID for them back when I was drinking".

In the interview, she describes herself as fierce. No shit. And Dave Alvin on guitar. I LOVED that first album of hers....and she NAILS this.

The early unplugged with Jules Shear were outstandingly fun. I think the first one had Syd Straw on it.

Ha! I bought an insurance policy from a friend of a friend whose uncle was Chip Taylor, songwriter of "Angel of the Morning" and "Wild Thing", among others.. Got to go see him with Carrie Rodriguez at SXSW circa 1998-ish.
Crazy family -- Chip is the brother of Jon Voight, uncle of Angelina Jolie, dad Elmer Voight was a pro golfer.
I initially read this as you and Carrie went to see Chip Taylor. I was extremely jealous there for a bit. 😁

Charlie, Bruce and their brother-in-law, Lunchmeat, used to have a band called the Weepers. Their tag line was "Sad songs for your happy hour". Lunchmeat is married to Robyn and together, they own Devil's Backbone Tavern. Robyn is also a good songwriter and Lunchmeat plays a killer standup bass.
Wade Bowen and Holly Williams recorded a killer version of this song on Vol. 1 of The Next Waltz, but here is Robyn with Kevin McCarthy on her song, Bars Ain't Closin'

Caring for elderly parents. Mom with dementia but still very physically able, trying to keep dad at home instead of getting him into nursing home. He can barely feed himself but his brain is still like he is 40 years old. Every fucking day is groundhog day, while wife is 1,000 miles away, bitching every day asking when I'm coming home. I've stayed off of the dementia/Alzheimer's thread because I would probably start talking about wouldn't shut up and that does no one any good, but the entire situation fucking sucks.
I've probably had more stressful, single moment events that pass quickly (being in incinerator explosion, rollover car crash) but this shit is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I downloaded his autobiography because it was getting strong reviews & let's face it, the guy's hung with some of the biggest names of the last 60 years so I figured there'd be some great stories.
In the end, the entertaining stories don't make up for how self centered and vapid he comes across throughout. He was born affluent & became rich almost out of sheer luck & timing. He worked hard-and had some amazingly talented people who REALLY worked hard to build RS-but in the end it was more stories of him having lunch with Jackie O, Yoko being a petty bitch, and how many A-list celebs he could gather for a party by flying them around on his private jets.Pick up Bernie Taupin's autobiography, "Scattershot". It will cleanse your mental palate. The audio book is very well done.

I had never heard of him until I started seeing him ads/posts on Facebook several years ago. Did he just self-promote his way into fame?
-
No. He apparently grew up poor in a small, country town. His dad ran a farm and then they started raising chickens. He left school at 14-15.
My brother met him once at a radio interview in the mid-80s. He said, "I really enjoyed you work with..." and Bernie started to say Thanks....and my brother finished, "....with Alice Cooper." Apparently Bernie lit up and they had a long conversation about "From The Inside". Said he was a super nice, humble guy.

I have been listening to Bernie Taupin's autobiography, "Shattershot". He mentions Alan Lomax, who was MAC's great grandfather. Taupin also references Buster Welch (Hall of Fame cutting horse trainer) and a ton of other folks. I'm about 1/3 of the way through the book and I'm also have a hard copy that I'm going to read after listening. Taupin's vocabulary will force me to have a dictionary and thesaurus handy while reading it.
He doesn't talk much about his lyric writing process or very much at all about specific songs. But it is a name dropping bit of music and American entertainment history. It is much more about how he spent his time, traveling all over the world and hanging out with, well, everyone. What a cool dude. This book isn't at all what I expected and even Elton has said that he had no idea what Bernie was up to.

The Bottom Forty. Greg is a fan of the original college radio stuff and plays occasional older songs but a ton of new stuff. The cool thing, he clears all of the songs directly with the artists. Primarily self-releases or indie labels. Great show. Great guy.
