My late friend Tom Dundee (who - when the vid actually gets around to the song - seems to be playing my late friend Mick Scott's '53 D-28):

As unmistakable as Norm's D-18 in the vid I posted of Tut. Listen to how crisp it gets when he plays back at the bridge. D-28's (particularly 50's models) have a weird mid-scooped range like that. If you ever learn how to control one, they are a devastating rhythm instrument. If you don't, they are a soundguy's nightmare.

Well, as soundguy for the owner of that particular one (I'd know those pick-wear patterns anywhere), I was quite happy that he it sussed (it was a superb lead & fingerpicking tool as well; just an amazing instrument).

Thanks for the Fox and Timmons; "just like we rehearsed it".

Circling back to older Tull.
Crest of a Knave is a favorite.  Budapest:

Listened to a version of "China Cat Sunflower" by Ukranian Jam band Las Horsa Bianca that was really unique and interesting. Amazing how far the whole Dead thing has spread culturally. Video was uploaded to youtube a month ago as part of the "Dead Covers Project 2022". Definitely worth a listen, the band is really good!

Hooked in the first 30 seconds.  😎
It just got better and better.

Love it and this album.

While posting in another thread this song popped into my head.  😃
XTC - Mayor of Simpleton






Paul (who thinks Andy Partridge could pass as Rainn Wilson's /Dwight Schruette's brother in this video)

Jimmy Garrison's bass solo on "Impressions"

I am just about to clamp on the cans & dive into Baker & Honeycutt, Straight From The Porch.  I will report back tomorrow.

Nice to see the U.S.P.S. has stepped up their game... I sent three packages out to various points of longitude in this Great Land on Monday, and they all arrived at their destinations by, or before yesterday. 

The Front Porch record was a great time in life. I had just started getting serious about playing guitar and performing as something other than a bass player. A new fence to swing for. I was hoping to revisit the Porch with Curt, next time with some plugged-in guitars, and do something similar, homegrown... maybe it was "Front Porch, revisited" maybe it was "Back Porch" this time, I hadn't decided. But there were plans brewing. I still might do something, but I don't have that steel-bar-wielding sounding board to throw ideas at anymore. He's in my head though.
