Members Jeff Leites Posted September 15, 2016 Members Posted September 15, 2016 I'm getting to old to remember if I posted this before but since I needed it for a FaceBook group, I thought I'd post it here too.
Members Anderton Posted September 16, 2016 Members Posted September 16, 2016 Is this a blackmail attempt?
Members UstadKhanAli Posted September 16, 2016 Members Posted September 16, 2016 Well, I know I've seen it before. I have the only comment on YouTube.
Members AlamoJoe Posted September 16, 2016 Members Posted September 16, 2016 Short and succinct. Cool sitar riff. Interesting "Decay" effect on the film.
Members Jeff Leites Posted September 16, 2016 Author Members Posted September 16, 2016 No blackmail Craig. There's been a very nostalgic tread going on in the FaceBook group " I Used to Hang Out At Rittenhouse Square In The 60's-Philadelphia". I thought that was something worth sharing there. http://tinyurl.com/jnua4mv
Members Anderton Posted September 16, 2016 Members Posted September 16, 2016 FYI, that 61 Les Paul SG re-issue was stolen during a subsequent tour...really a shame. However, the good news was shortly after landing at Gibson, the company decided to make a re-issue. So now my guitar collection is complete again! The re-issue is a dead ringer for the original, but the whammy bar has a much easier time returning to pitch. Thinking back on Philly...it was fun, that's for sure. But I've never been more excited about making music than I am now.
Phil O'Keefe Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Knowing the story behind your SG, I have to admit I spent as much time focusing in on that part of the video as I did everything else.
Members Jeff Leites Posted September 16, 2016 Author Members Posted September 16, 2016 Too bad there wasn't a re-issue of the sitar
Members Anderton Posted September 16, 2016 Members Posted September 16, 2016 Not only do I still have it, but Dendy had a Sarod that he gave to me (thanks, Dendy!). All it needs now is re-stringing. For what it's worth I was classically trained on sitar by the son of a prominent Indian musical family, I didn't use a flat pick or anything....I took it pretty seriously. In retrospect, it was the start of my life-long affair with coming up with weird and wonderful sounds.
Members Jeff Leites Posted September 16, 2016 Author Members Posted September 16, 2016 Not only do I still have it... I hope I'm not having another false memory! It was the summer of '68 (maybe '67), between sets at the 2nd Fret. I'd gone upstairs with my best friend from the DC area so he could meet you. You hadn't played the sitar. I asked you about it, and you said it was stolen.
Members Anderton Posted September 16, 2016 Members Posted September 16, 2016 I replaced the stolen one shortly thereafter, so I'm not sure which one is in the video...
