Set to record for future binge-a-thon. Thanks for the heads-up! I've recently binged on The Walking Dead. After five seasons I had to take a rest. It was making me depressed and agitated.

A gifted historian, musician, and story teller. His weekly radio program is pretty much the only country music I listen to. Nice guy to boot.

Ever been to Oildale? Oildale is hell on earth. IMO.. and right next door to Bakersfield. So while Bakersfield isn't hell, it's in the same neighborhood.

I Was even going to do a hank Williams tribute show at one time. I play 5 or 6 of his tunes at every solo show. His songs are the real deal. I share the same birth date as Hank, unfortunately that's where any comparison as a songwriter ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like a Telecaster on the back pickup through a Twin Reverb cranked up. How about a Les Paul through a 100 watt Marshall stack? 2 hours ago, Hoot Owl said: I'm recording it. I record everything but live sports and Stephanie Rhule😜. ... That sounds like a LOT of recording. How many VCR's do you have? 2 hours ago, Hoot Owl said: Or thought you understood but actually didn't. What I always remember learning is how native American music influenced early blues music. When you compare recordings it's obvious. I would like to hear recordings of Native American music that influenced early blues. Do you have any links?

The older I get the less my ears can take wicked guitar sounds. What are you, 82? Most people here are almost dead.😉 A tad younger than 82. I do own a Jazzmaster though w/ 65 style pick-ups - if that’s a clue. They are a thing again from what I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax, I'm not really considering it a personal attack. It's just that things are so touchy around here these days. Soon we'll be eating each other over alleged personal attacks and imagined ad homs. On native/blues, watch Ken Burns' The Blues, or whatever it was called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Telecruiser Posted September 23, 2019 Members Share Posted September 23, 2019 Well, we watched the last episode and we were not disappointed. Ken Burns did a stellar job on this and it should be noted as one of his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
