    I found a good version of how McMurtry is doing "Blackberry Winter" at his shows now. No mic, out if front of the monitors..... Holy fuck. What a song. I liked the studio version, especially Grissom's killer acoustic solo but this version....... Just kills me.

    I didn't know she split off from that dude who used to play with her. Saw her open for someone a few years ago and really liked her.

    It is really cool. They are doing a great job there are are super nice. Plus, you can go right down the street to Taqueria del Sol afterwards. I was bummed when Showcase Photo closed but swapping that for a kickass music store was a win.

    TVZ and Cowboy Junkies were one that I would call a draw when I saw them. Townes was actually in decent form when I saw them in Birmingham, plus the outdoor venue right by the tracks just added to the atmosphere. Seen REM multiple times....only opener I remember was Fetchin' Bones. They kicked ass but this was on the "Lifes Rich Pageant" tour and REM was hitting their stride at that point.

    I won a bunch of tickets to see Scandal and John Waite at Reunion around 84. They were taking turns opening and this night, Scandal opened. Scandal had a guest guitarist come on stage for the last two songs......dude had a red/black/white Kramer, just like EVH....who the fuck would do that....then he starts playing and you realize it WAS Eddie. It was right after he got his haircut so you really couldn't tell who it was at first. Gotta say the opener won that night.

    Caught McMurtry in Archer City last weekend with his full band. Fantastic show. Played a great new song in his encore with Betty Soo. The song started off talking about Pinocchio and Geppetto but as all McMurtry songs so, it quickly morphs. I had never been to a show at the sight of the old Royal Theater. They have done a really good job of setting up the room next to the bombed out shell of old theater. Song and lighting were fantastic.

    The D-18 from AUTF Guitar Emporium sounds incredible. Honestly don't know how I've lived this long without owning one. I brought my Taylor with me out here and will probably just leave it here. With that cedar top and smaller body, it just has no low end. But for me, that D-18 really shines in the middle. Could not be happier. (edited: Damn, that Taylor looks funny in that picture.) And I have these two for a bonus.

    NGD yesterday, straight from AUTF Guitar Emporium. Since it shipped from 68 degree, wet SF to 111-ty dry AG bumfuck TX, I'm letting it sit on the case for a couple of days. AUTF even included a set of strings. No candy. UPS guy was begging me to open it so he could look at it. And yes, that is what you call a phone book on the table. Covers 26 towns in the hell of earth.

    And sorry, but Crowded House does NOT belong on ANY girly list.

    More like at wallet point, by the record label. I know a guy who was in a band with Doug prior to him starting the Gin Blossoms. Really, really sad story.

    Honestly never knew that.

    Did someone else cover "Broken Arrow".

    What is Lee Harvey's in October, Alex.

    NGD. On a ride from SF to Young Co., TX.

    guys who constantly replay their latest golf round/poker game in excruciating detail. Same for their fantasy team. As far as vocal fry: Just for fun on the beard as personality post above. Loudermilk solved all kinds of problems.

    I can never remember the numbers for Gretsch guitars. Had to look it up. It is the Streamliner (cheapest of their lines) but it doesn't have that on the on the truss rod cover. They went a little overboard with the name on this one, even after the numbers. Sticker says Made in Indonesia. Gretsch G2215-P90 Streamliner Junior Jet Club Weighs 8 lbs. I mentioned the nut was smaller than my other guitars, but apparently it is the same as my big hollowbody Gretsch and actually a bit bigger than my tele. I guess the skinnier neck makes if feel smaller. I can't get over how good the P90 in the neck sounds.

    That filter-tron is going to be replaced. Probably with a TV Jones. It is significantly weaker than the glorious P90 neck pickup. I LOVE that neck pickup and it still sounds really nice in the middle position. But weak. I'll also probably replace that bridge with an adjustment wrap around at some point. The thing is really well built. Nut width is smaller than my other guitars but I really like the neck. Best word to describe the overall guitar is smooth. Extremely happy with it.
  21. hullabelew
    Yep. I played a used one recently but for $80 more I got a new one (for $400) and in a color I liked a lot better.

    Candy arrived. From the pictures, I thought the paint was flat, but it has sparkles. Really beautiful. Haven't plugged it in yet but really happy with the build. I LOVE the color. Sparkles aren't over powering but a cool look. Perfectly set up, frets are smooth, really happy with the quality. Can't wait to plug it in.

    Yep. Georgia's growth in the film industry is all because of the tax cuts. Pretty much killed the film industry in Louisiana. In one interview I read, they asked Taylor Sheridan why he didn't film "Hell or High Water" in Texas. He said he wanted to but it was much cheaper to film it in NM.
