Great show, great sound, vip seating and enjoyed a steak while I listened. I think these folks have the right idea. Bassist used a Yamaha JP sixer through an Eden 410. Barely had to use my earplugs.

You think maybe his parents were old time country music fans (remember Ernest Tubbs)?

Be careful or I'll have to break out some Porter Wagoner references. P.S. My dad used to religiously watch the Ernest Tubbs 1/2 hour TV show (B&W) every Saturday in Dubuque. I believe it was followed by Frankie Yankovic (or was that Lawrence Welk).

I'm still trying to figure out some of the things I heard him play. not sure if its a fretless and if its a 5 string or dropped tuning. dannobasso Intermediate Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 199 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Friday, January 14, 2005 - 10:43 pm:    I believe he used 2 Alembic 5's for these albums. Mr. Tubbs did an amazing job, though I prefer JJ's soloing.
