  1. Apparently Sara Evans' sister just crawled out of the back seat of someone's Camaro.
    (Apologies if that's a relative, it's surly.)
    Doesn't she look fun? No idea who she is though.
  2. Wow, The Connells.  That's a trip via the wayback machine.  I saw them a couple of times and bought their album.  I think their promo photo was of their shoes?
    No shit. I've known her for a couple of years but when she said that, I damn near proposed. But I don't know how my wife and her husband would take it.

    When I get back to the house, I'll post the list of songs we are learning.

    When my brother finally takes back his 64 DR, this is what I'm buying.  

    Also, I think I'm in the process of forming a duo.  Was having cocktails with a liquor rep friend and was going to play some music on the jukebox.  I asked her what she wanted to hear.  "How about Crowded House or The Connells"?  Then she starts singing along.  Her voice blew me away.  As we talked, she said she always wanted to play in a two piece duo.  

    So, we made a list of 10 songs that she thought she could sing and I'm in the process of learning them.   Then I'll teach her the chords and we will see if this goes anywhere.  If it works out, I'l be in the market for a PA and other goodies to run everything through.

  4. Saw Kelly Willis on Sunday in Atlanta.  

    https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/kelly-willis/2018/smiths-olde-bar-atlanta-ga-3ea21bf.html

    Didn't know how the new band would be without a female harmony singer and not fiddle/mandolin, but the guys really pulled it off.  Geoff Queen a really solid guitar player and an incredible steel player.  The new keyboardist is also fantastic on a Tele.  Kelly has really gotten more and more talkative over the years on stage.  Very funny.  Great so....but what else would you expect from her.

    every show I wanted to see at cool venues was on Sunday..the day we left.  Until this year I have never been to Dallas.  This was the third time this year and not a good (I like red dirt music) show was to be found.  Next time, just straight to Austin

     

    You could have come to Atlanta and seen Kelly Willis with me.  We had a group of 10 go.  Tickets were $20 and probably 150 in the room.

  6. Zeitgeist/Reivers

    True Believers

    Timbuk 3

    I moved to Birmingham, AL in 1985.  Around 1990, I started seeing Vallejo in some tiny little bars.  They were just a bunch of young dudes at the time.   Never really got in to them....then they moved to Austin.

  7. Well, HVAC dude came back today to inspect the new systems.  I told him, "When you started telling me the guitars you owned, I knew you were holding out, so I looked you up".  He just started laughing.  That is his wife on the bass, but his daughter also plays bass.  She usually plays that little Mustang short scale but also owns a P bass.  

    He said the real musician in his family is his son-in-law.   He owns a 1938 D-28 and a Paul Shippey Mandolin among other goodies.  

    Dude also told me he really likes Waterloo guitars, though it really isn't a bluegrass instrument.  I may put in another cooling system soon, just so he will come back and talk some more.

    He has been a favorite of mine going back to "Elephant Talk" with KC. I had a pm exchange with @hullabelew a long time ago and was hopeful that he was Adrian. Alas he was not. Or so he says.

    I completely forgot about that.  Only two things I have in common with Adrian are 1) the spelling of our last name 2) we both own guitars.  

  9. I know a lot of chicks who love Los Lobos, especially after seeing them live.   Something about the coolness of Cesar combined with Steve Berlin's sax playing.  It was one of my college girlfriend's favorite bands, right behind Dylan and Tom Petty.  Saw them about a year ago and the crowd was 50-50.

    That’s awesome, Hulla. Joe Aderhold sounds like the shiznit. Is Earleen his wife? A chick named Earleen that plays bass. Bad. Ass.

     

    Yep.  That is his wife, but I think his daughter may play bass with him in some videos.  I've see Earleen and Wanda both noted as bass players.  

    I picked up a used Ovation mandolin several years ago.  They are fun as shit to play and fairly easy to learn.  You just have to think about the chords, upside down, since it is essentially the EADG strings just turned upside down.  

    A chick I know that runs a used instrument shop in Atlanta is a left-handed bass player and once she told me to just flip the chords upside down, it made perfect sense.  Still took some getting used to but they are fun to mess around with.

    My dentist was Henry Juszkiewicz.

    Ha.  When we were talking about Gibson, the banjo playing HVAC guy said, "Henry is an idiot."

    I have the G10 and I love it. The first one was a dud and I had to exchange it, but no issues since then. I don’t play any other way now.

     

    I have fluorescent lights in my basement.    They put a hum in virtually everything that plugs in down there.  You ever have any interference problems with the G10?  

  13. HVAC dude comes by to give an estimate on replacing our units.  In the basement, I have the guitars and amps set up.  He is probably about 70 years old.  He is the sales guy but was a service tech for years.  He says, "Nice Les Paul.........and I love that Nashville tele....so versatile."    I asked him what he played, and he told me "Mostly banjo.  I'm a bluegrass guy." but the more I talked to him, I knew he was holding out.  By the time he left, he spilled that he owned a 1954 J45, a 1954 D18 and an early 50s HD28.   Also a mid 90s J45 reissue.  He has owned all of the older guitars since the late 60s, early 70s.  

    He then pulls his phone out and shows a clip of him playing the 54 J45, then the HD28.  He is using metal finger and thumb picks, and played the same song like a banjo player would.....to compare the tone of the 2 guitars.  I could have talked and listened to that dude all day long.
