This is gorgeous.  While I love watching him play this, it is, in my view, even better just listening with eyes closed.  Liked it so much I purchased the single.

Enjoyed this. I hear what you mean.

Peter might find this interesting; and anyone else interested in Front-of-House.  Rick Beato interviews Dave Natale, who is currently running FOH for the Rolling Stones and has run sound for lots of big name bands over the last .. I think he said 45 years.  I enjoyed it and learned things.

Peter did, indeed, find that interesting!  And I like this guy.  No, I wasn't working at the same level - but a lot of what he's doing in arenas is the same thing I was doing in clubs. OK, he thinks there are times that a compressor is OK, and I don't, and we don't have the same mic preferences, but basic philosophy?  We're pretty darn close. 
Analog only.  Give the crowd what the talent's putting out, just loud (I did like to work the Space Echo & reverb on the sax for "Harlem Nocturne", though).  Cut the painful stuff. And cut it on a graphic EQ.  Always mono!  (His reasoning for that is word-for-word what I've said countless times.)  Vocals must be heard!

Again - I like this guy.  Thanks, Dave!

Following East Nash Grass again this year has been exciting. They have gotten busy enough on the festival circuit to have to let the regular Monday night gig at Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge go... but that's the trade-off of success.


Looks like they are trying out a few different tunes in their set. Here's a funny one I learned from the Lost & Found years ago-

And a Dylan tune the Country Gentlemen made safe for Bluegrass crowds...

Maddie's got a new one in the set too...

Becky Buller at the Albino Skunk Festival playing Jubilee.

Can't find it on YouTube but it popped up on Instagram.  Beautiful live performance.

Malina Brothers with Katarina Garcia

Brick Stick House, from 1974.  Just found this on the YT seidbar; I won't tell you it's great - but I will say it sure captures a time....

Ooops - I forgot to put "...and Teresa Wliiiams..." after "Larry Campbell".

Ran across this from 2019 with my old friend, steel master Doug Jernigan, blowing down the old Bob Wills classic 'Roly Poly' with Carl Jackson and friends at Nashville's Station Inn.  The Station is kind of like a Nashville Baked Potato, you often see big gun players letting their hair down there.  Doug has had a session career, publishes his own Steel Guitar method(s) at www,digndoug.com, and has a zillion live dates under his belt.



Pedal steel is a beast.  Fretless, no tempered tuning, and all those moving parts.  Doug's axes run 8 pedals, four knee side levers, and four lifts, each of these puling an individual string sharp or flat, and oh yeah, you've got two necks tuned differently.  I get a headache thinking about it.  Here's the tuning chart for each 10-string neck:

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.
