| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? When I wrote"I wasn't suggesting that that's true of Chuck."in my last post, I probably should have written: "I wasn't attempting to suggest that..." I can see how it's been read to mean that, but it wasn't my intention when I wrote it. Just a bad... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? To be clear - I wasn't attempting to dis Chuck in my post. My Page comment was more in the way of noting that some very famous music often gets misattributed. Page borrowed whole songs (albeit often with brilliant new arrangements) and never credi... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Yes. That borrowed bit makes Jimmy Page look pristine in his songwriting credits. Pretty amazing that arguably the most famous guitar lick in rock n roll has been miscredited for 50! years, don't you think. | |
| Your First System Let's see.....There was a Marantz receiver with a horizontal thumb wheel. The was a BIC turntable. Strange, but I can't recall the speakers.I do remember that my first high end speaker was the Kef Corelli and my first separates were from Audire. I... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Here's the link to Louis Jorndan's "Ain't That Just Like A Woman"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEqiWTb-UWANote the intro. | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? 100% surely, the most under appreciated little guitar break ever:Carl Hogan's intro on "Ain't That Just Like A Woman" by Louis Jordan and the Tympany Five. I can't link from this device, but check out the studio (not live where it's played by a ho... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Bdp,I think it's easy to get lost when your bandmates are John Lennon and Paul McCartney. I also think that George is one of those understated players that tends to get overlooked/underrated, anyway. It's kinda the same same deal with his songwrit... | |
| Some Musical Truths I think that this one from John Hiatt, on the subject of "faith" resonates:"Still you angle for your optionsand you argue for your caselike you wouldn't know a burning bushif it blew up in your face" | |
| What would Paul Hales have accomplished today?? I has the Hales System 2 sigs (with sand loaded bases IIRC). My main memory is that it was a very good speaker that weighed a ton. | |
| Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home? FM still exists? | |
| Why not accordion ? I'll second the Cajun suggestion. Zachary Richard is a personal favorite for his hybrid Cajun-pop music (both zydeco and waltz) and his singing. Early on, the wonderful guitarist Sonny Landreth played in Richard's band. Another Cajun band that som... | |
| Zingali speakers??? I own a pair of older Zingali floorstanders. They feature absolutely Gorgeous cabinets and deliver excellent, reasonably wide-band sound. Horn loaded tweeters help if you're dealing with a bright, reflective room, but......Their foam driver surrou... | |
| Odd rock trivia-Who knew? Philo,Allmusic may have missed it or not have seen it as significant, but, per Wikipedia, Mason was replaced before the record was recorded. Evidently D&D rehearsed and/or gigged with Mason, but either canned him or saw him quit before hitting... | |
| Garage Band Hangover Love the Hammond vs Farfisa discussion - talk about time traveling. Most of the surf bands usually used a Farfisa, iirc, and the soul bands usually used a B3. I'm sure that's not a hard and fast rule, but it seems like it was often the case. I thi... | |
| And Clapton Didn't Even Know Little Feat was a monster. Interesting comparison to The Band - maybe a funkier, muffuletta flavored variation on the same theme. Lowell George was just a hero of mine. From The Mothers to Little Feat, LG spanned just such an amazing range of musi... |
