Frets99 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Of course, you could have meant the other first clip which was ST James Infirmary. Kind of a sig tune for me lately. N' Like I said. I'm not trying to say I'm playing the equivalent of a Larivee or Taylor here, but I'm certainly playing a guitar whose sound defies the description of budget. It's articulate, balanced, with beautiful undertones. I'd love to hear it in the hands of an excellent guitarist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just hard to lay out cash of any kind for something you may not love. However, Barnstorm is probably 45 minutes from Providence. Well, it would be psychotic to make the drive from NY for the guitar only. But I do drive up to RI regularly. As long as I'm there, 45 minutes is nothing. Problem is, the family is meeting elsewhere this summer, so I probably won't be back to RI 'til the fall. I'll probably have another guitar by. I have a lead on a guy that fixes up used guitars, that I'll look into this week. Hell if it makes any sense and I'm around, we could hook up and I'd take you there. It's a wicked crazy thing to do. Well they say you can't take the Brooklyn outta the boy, but I've never heard anyone from Brooklyn say "wicked" before. You're talking like I used to when I was a kid. Sadly, the Rhode Island has been taken out of me. I haven't said "wicked" in about 25 years. I miss it though, what a great expression. Maybe I'll try to introduce to Brooklyn, see how it goes. thanks for offering to hook up, that would be great, but realistically I don't think I'll be in the guitar market in the fall. Oh, and yea, these old blues songs have about 100 names, it's gotta be St. James Infirmary, there's a line about that place in the Van Ronk song I mentioned. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
