Guild SFIII Spotting: Norah Jones !

[caveman]

Don't know if anybody mentioned her before, but look what a beautiful Starfire III she puts around her pretty little self. She proves once again she's got great taste. Not all of her music appeals that much to me, but the Little Willies album with Jim Campilongo on lead guitar, is one of the nicest new albums I heard it the last few years.

In no particular order; very pretty woman, song, and guitar.

I may try the link later; this time the video stalled about every 10 secs.

My doctor has this song loaded on his phone system; if you get caught on hold, you get to listen to it....over and over....ok w/ me. Alot better than the general yak...

Thanks Caveman!

I sometimes have that problem with Youtube videos.

Simply stop the video until it "loads up" to about half way, as evidenced by the red line, and you should be in business.

I assume that everybody knows, that the bottom-right icon enlarges the image to full-screen.

And I further assume, that y'all know that Nora Jones is the daughter of Ravi Shankar ?

Thanks Coastie; I'll try it again. No, didn't know she was Shankar's daughter.

Awesome. Very nice echo and tone on that Starfire. NJ is great.

Did as you suggested Coastie; 'held' the play button until the file loading was way out it front. The load and play speeds out of synch....worked fine....still sounded good.

Thanks for the link - nice song. Funny to see her play SF. Looks like one of the old mahogany models with Dearmonds. The Tele solo from Adam Levy was really cool too. Clean clean tone - sounded like straight into to amp with a bit of tremolo. He used to write for Guitar Player, it's great to see him making the big time.

Really Coastie? Who is her mother? I thought you just knew about Little Willies.

 

[coastie99]

Can't help with that one, Darryl.

I do know about little wallies though. That's an oxymoron.

A wallie is an over-sized Gherkin (Dill Pickle ?), suitable only for catering purposes.

Now, ya didn't know that didja Dr. Hootin-fowl !!

Geethali Norah Jones Shankar.

Daughter of Sue Jones.

 

[Darryl Hattenhauer]

C Note,

Who's Sue Jones?

Hootin' owler

 

[coastie99]

I wondered the very same thing.

 

[Darryl Hattenhauer]

I just never imagined Ravi ravishing groupies and giving them Shankar sores.

 

[Kap'n]

Nice clip.

What's the going rate for a DeArmond equipped SFIII?

 

[northbayj]

This one just went for a little over $800. I'm kind of astounded it went that low...
