    Not a guitarist, but R.I.P. Chuck

    This song, that was also on that Rochester Philharmonic concert, was always a favorite.

    Not a guitarist, but R.I.P. Chuck

    I saw him in a tent theatre on the Cape around '78 or 9. (For New England people, the Cape always means Cod.)

    Not a guitarist, but R.I.P. Chuck

    I've got a cover of this planned as soon as my crew's schedules line up

    Not a guitarist, but R.I.P. Chuck

    The hits keep coming. Just found out Chuck Mangione died on Tuesday at 84. Before his crossover music he was hardcore, even becoming a member of Art Blakely's Jazz Messengers. If you haven't, pay attention to the guitar solo in Feels So Good. Here's an early concert with Tony Levin and Steve Gadd.

    Guild/B.C. Rich

    I have to say, all that wiring nonsense didn't do the HB-1s any favors, least to my ears.

    Guild/B.C. Rich

    I almost skipped tonight's episode since it was about a B. C. Rich. But, it's trash night and I needed a little procrastination. Good thing I didn't. It's the first Rich design and, well lookie there. Guild HB-1s! And apparently they came stock in this era.

    Cheap Trick Live

    When my students and I did a Cheap Trick concert, I got a Dean Rhapsody (I think) 12 string bass. It was great in rehearsals, but the magic really came together when we hooked up a splitter and played it through a guitar AND bass amp, like Tom does. Holy Crap!

    S-90 Strap Buttons / End Pin

    Here's my first year '71 S-90. Looks like their press in metal pin. Probably why they replaced it with an acoustic style plastic one when it fell out, no doubt. I would just plug and use a standard screw fastened metal pin.

    I need a new hat

    While not straw, I have a summer Kangol I'll don from time to time.

    NGD - Nightbird

    I no longer have the Nightbird I, sadly.

    NGD - Nightbird

    Checked GAD's Guide to Nightbird and he does include the ST. Yes, it's a flat poplar body. https://www.gad.net/Blog/2017/10/23/gads-guide-to-guild-nightbirds/

    NGD - Nightbird

    From the look I'd make a guess that it's a solid body with no top carve, like an LP Special.

    NGD - Nightbird

    I know for a fact that GAD's sold at least one Nightbird.

    Stones, but not really

    There are a couple of other versions before this one, one with Traffic doing the backing (which surprisingly falls pretty flat). They might have used the same vocal track.

    Stones, but not really

    On the way back from Columbus yesterday I was listening to the Stones Singles collection. One song that always stands out is a lesser known number that really isn't a Rolling Stones song at all, even though it's included in the collection. It's really a Mick song from his film Performance. No...

    Objects you don't see much anymore

    When I went to college in Indiana, I was about 40 minutes away from Terre Haute. Some of the elders may remember that town from the Columbia House ads for 10 records for a penny. Well, they would have a warehouse sale every year. It was a good deal to make the trek down the road and grab...

    I've never been able to pull that off.
