Just stupid-good. 


Glad to see the Station Inn is still a hub. The Bluebird Cafe was too back in my day, and closer to me up in Hendersonville was the Bell Cove. Larry Cordle often held Court in that joint. The thing about Nashville; you just never knew who might be lurking in the corner booth at your Monday night open mike.

Low to high, E9 neck (the back, closest to you neck):

B-D-E-F#-G#-B-B=E-G#-D#-F#

Then the front, the C7 neck:

C-F-A-C-E-G-A-C-E-G

I  just love an instrument where the open tuning sounds like an eye chart.

Years back I saw an instruction book advertised in Guitar Player aimed at those who wanted to get a different tonality without retuning one of those beasts:  It was called Music To Get C6 By.


It boggles my mind that anyone can actually drive one of those beasts!

Doug is a hero. I spend a lot of time with Steelers most years at the Texas Steel Guitar Association jamboree in Dallas, where Doug is most highly regarded and missed when he's not there.

Concur.  An over thinker would melt down trying to understand all of the different tonal shifts on that instrument.!

If you're interested in how deep and complicated steel can get, give a listen to Susan Alcorn. Brings the steel to free jazz and world music. She's the real deal, a genius, but it's not for the faint of heart.

How The Sphere works... pretty interesting. The bit about how the audio works begins at 12:00-

That's funny... that same video showed up on my feed the other day too, and I thought about posting it, then got busy.

For at least the last 68 of his 93 years, my dad's constant refrain on the state of things has been "The whole world's turning to horse manure."

Ugh.

Appreciate his closing thoughts.

Saved up to get The White Album at Kohls, had to ride my bike there.  Long story short, they had a shipment of bad pressings, two returns later I conceded to the fact that the beginning of the first song on both sides of the 2nd disc would skip.   Birthday was virtually unlistenable and Revolution I I could clearly hear the ending.

East Nash on the road this week, havin' a go at a Bob Wills tune...
