Watch for the Chesterfield logo in the first third of film. A dread being played by the boyfriend/husband character if I recall correctly.

Had the opportunity of hearing Lowell Blue live at a local concert last night. His cd "When You Were Loving Me" is currently (11-6-10) free at: LowellBlue.com He's one talented and generous guy. Please send him a thank you email if you like what you hear and decide to download.

In the late 70's Mark Fosson recorded a demo for John Fahey's Takoma label just before Fahey sold it. Fahey returned the tapes and Fosson's amazing 12 string instrumentals went unheard and unappreciated for nearly 30 years. This despite Fahey's praise of the Fosson demo as the best since...

Amusing ad on TV from someone hawking financial services while touring the Taylor factory. It ends with her spontaneously playing a little flamenco style riff, and as she does so, Bob Taylor raises his eyebrows in amazement (akin to Bugs Bunny). Voice over of Bob saying he didn't know she...

The film preview for "Wonderful World" shows two Guilds in action as well a memorable quote about guitar playing. Loon

Available in both cd and as a DVD this effort to give Sgt Pepper a live performance is truly impressive. It seems to have been lost in all the recent Beatles hype. But if you like both of these bands chances are you'll enjoy this release. I've found it to be alot of fun. Gruhn Loon

I reviewed some Taylor videos online recently and was marveling at the efficiency and accuracy of the laser and computer driven production techniques. Got me to wondering how much time it took on average to complete the handmade inlay work for the G shield and/or the Chesterfield logo found on...

Over the last month I've been collecting songs written by the Beatles and covered by other artists. Turns out there are hundreds of versions out there. There are even web sites devoted to listing as many of these covers as possible. Despite consulting several of these sites I've found...

In the acoustic section The General was describing how happy he was that the Fender name was nowhere to be found on his new F-50. Inspired me to count how many times I could find the word Guild on my GF-50 12 string. Breaks down this way: 12 times on the tuners, 2 on the soundhole label, 1...

These two amazing young guitarists are scheduled to perform on Leno 1-26. Do yourself a favor and check them out! Gruhn Loon

Saw them on Letterman a while ago and was duly impressed. Picked up their eponymous cd at Best Buy yesterday for under $8. Package includes (among other things) a DVD that showcases three of their songs in a concert setting. Included is their version of "Stairway to Heaven". Wow! These two have...

Recently finished a book by Allen St. John entitled "Clapton's Guitar- Watching Wayne Henderson Build the Perfect Instrument". I really enjoyed the book and found Wayne and his buddies to be extremely quirky, endearing, and entertaining. Alot of insightful information about the guitar making...

A friend of mine is seeking a new hard shell case for his newly refurbished F-612. Any ideas or suggestions on how to obtain one would be much appreciated. Suggesting that he sell his F-612 to you and thereby nullify the need for the case is not regarded as a reasonable suggestion and points...

I really enjoy the Christmas cd's of John Fahey. He produced two that I know of "The New Possibility: John Fahey's Guitar Soli Christmas Album" circa '68 and "Christmas with John Fahey Vol II" circa '75. Anyone who can take a slide to Silent Night and make it sound like it always belonged there...

Several weeks ago I happened onto a concert on a local pbs station featuring the banjo genius Bela Fleck. Last week the great Tommy Emmanuel was on the same show. The program is called Sierra Center Stage and it is taped in Chico CA. The website for the program is sierracenterstage.com and you...

I'm new to the forum and want to share something meaningful to me. Perhaps it can inspire someone else also. My favorite quote is from John Fahey, an amazing self-taught guitarist who passed several years ago. "I learned to play the guitar by spending incredible amounts of time, because I was...
