I just got tickets to Eric None of my friends know who that is, so I came here to express my

Capt'n Dan! I recently turned 70! (The Big Deal Birthday for me was 65. That just felt different)) I enjoy a pretty wide range of guitars. That said, I also recently acquired an 8 string Multi-Scale Fan Fret Headless Electric. Not very long ago I would have laughed if someone would have suggested that I would be playing one. It has almost replaced my need to switch from a "standard" guitar to a "baritone" it is so much more versatile than I could have ever imagined, and not any more difficult to play after a very short time of acclimation .... which really shocked me. It has become the first guitar that I now grab...and really shines with my newer dive into Ambient Guitar.

"And I need you more than want you" maybe just about the best line ever written.

Sorry I missed this live, but D&M are really on a creative roll here, the ideas are just flowing today. Mostly crazy but in a good way. And still some real insights and useful info as usual.

Sad to hear the Prince of Polyester is gone! Saw him live twice, great shows. David Lindley's music will live on forever, as will his attire.

I really wanted to see you guys comparing the Princetons 65 and 68 Reissue. Most of the people don't have space and the ideal conditions to buy these super large and loud amps like Super Reverb or JCMs that you normally use in the show. The Princetons, AC15, Blues Jr, and others are the ones that we can have in an apartment or regular house. Thanks!

If Dan swapped the coat for a leather jacket and a pair of aviator shades he could pass for Rob Halford. Keeping the jaunty sailor cap would be a bonus.

Little known fact - you can turn any song into a sea shanty just by replacing the first line with, "As I roved out from Liverpool shore".

[mikeblue]

the classic is 'chambered'. i have a quarter pounder in the bridge on one of my strats. i call it the old 'thumb in the eye.'

[anthonyalfredyorke]

Great show Leg Ends, my buckle has been truly swashed . Dan is going for the "Six months in a leaky boat look ! " Next week Mick needs to be Captian Rum to keep up with the Nautical theme " AAH YOU HAVE A WOMAN'S SHOW M' LORD I'L WAGER THIS SHOW HASN'T HAD ( insert gag ) ooh er misses . PEACE and LOVE to EVERYONE.😃😃😃

Ray Cooper - percussionist extraordinaire.

I saw Eric Johnson at a club near my apartment in Austin in1973 The next day the whole band same in to a music store near by where I was having a top brace re-glued. Eric & I looked at each other but I was too shy too speak. I had walked to the club, paid the cover charge & sat on a bar stool (eating and drinking nothing) about 25' from them. From that height I had an unobstructed view and was dumb struck but left without saying a word when they were through with essentially all the material from the Electromagnets release. I have a CD of it now. The guy who told me about them couldn't have described them if he'd tried. Those tunes came back to me when I played that CD some decades later.

Stand out gig for me, purely because it was a bizarre last minute ask, doing an ambient set at a yoga class for the studio I used to go to... Had to ignore the voices in my head constantly saying to engage the fuzz factory 😂

[bobbler]

re: the Jimmy thing: Xotic EP boost does the thickening a treat. A veteran of the 70s pub rock scene I have befriended by buying his spare pedals in a downsize claims that the "sound" was gotten by running a Watkins Copycat with no tape in it, at least for him.

There is some Beryllium action in a vacuum tube, something called a Getter. It grabs the stray molecules of gas that the vacuum pump is incapable of removing so that the valve can work without chemical change.

Rik Mayall references make me love this channel that much more. Rick: "We never clean the toilet, Neil! That's what being a student is all about!"

[Youtubemademeaddahandle]

Yes, if variables are minimize so are the possible results - whether positive or negative.

[johndogwater]

In the 70s loads of Rock stars started wearing captains hats, I never understood it.

[christophertrimmer]

I think the Collings finish is called Acid Wash Quilt.
