I was just fooling around on when I pulled out a guitar stand to photo for another thread. I forgot how loud this was!!! Dave my neighbors aren't far away, they just put up with me.

I got it out just in time; a little crunchy, but good! This week is PBS pledge drive week and one of the specials this week is a James Taylor tribute filmed earlier this year and now out on DVD. I watched it a few nights ago and in my opinion the best performance of the evening was the Dixie Chicks's cover of James' "Shower The People". So I'm sitting here just now and the PBS station is re-running the tribute, and when the Chicks come on, I'm turning up the volume. Just a powerful performance. Oh and it was James' band, and Jimmy Johnson's Alembic was way up in the mix. | ||

I sort of have this feeling Dave just might be vegetarian, Chuck... but I was seriously thinking of mailing him a check for a fine meal, after his heroics this evening, so I understand where you're coming from. But remember, it wasn't you who burned Dave's dinner :-) Dixie Chicks, huh? I know I like their politics, but don't believe I've ever heard any of their music. From what you describe, I wish I could hear it. | ||

Our local PBS (Sacramento, CA) is running the Grateful Dead "Dead Ahead" concert from 1980 at Radio City Music Hall. I think 1980 puts them just about in the middle of their "career." The show features "Ripple" and "Little Red Rooster" among others, and they closed it with their version, or should I say that night's version, of "Good Lovin." I am not a "Deadhead" by any means, but I did enjoy watching--they've got a presence and energy all their own, that's for sure. | ||

Blind Faith! Wow! Yes, I caught some of Dead Ahead the other night; it was the accoustic segment, and it was great! Jerry's singing was very good as were the harmonies. Some club members have recommended the Dead Ahead DVD and after the bit a saw I can see why. And yes, Bob's right; while I appreciate the sentiment, I'll have to pass on the venison chili. <g> Oh and Bob, I've always appreciated the Dixie Chicks for their musicianship, songwriting and, for lack of a better word, honesty. | ||

I like some of the Dixie Chick music, and quite a bit of their politics. Mostly, though, I admire their willingness to sacrifice a good portion of their careers to stand up for a principle. Love 'em or hate 'em, you gotta admire that. Venison chili? Took a road trip once with my younger brother, who is a vegetarian. We show up at my sister's place in the geographic center of nowhere (Elmo, Kansas), and all she has to eat is fresh RABBIT STEW! We ultimately got over it, but it was difficult.. ;) Back to the Too Old business... Our house in the woods gets quiet when my son goes to bed around 9:00 pm. I don't even have a real stereo setup these days, because I'm usually home and inside at odd hours and wouldn't be able to enjoy it. I look forward to the day when I can assemble another killer system and be able to listen to it, but I've either got to simplify my life somewhat first or wait a few years for bedtime to change a little bit..

Personally, I found the Dixie Chicks' opinions to be VERY informed. In fact I never gave them the time of day - assumed it was typical big breasted low quality country crap - until the big political bruhaha got my interest up enough that I gave them a listen the next time I saw them on TV. Anyone playing fiddle gets extra points from me. They're actually accomplished musicians and sound quite good. And, of course, I'll defend any beautiful woman's right to take her clothes off on magazine covers! O.K., now I'll go back to curbing my politics around here (except, of course, on cannabis issues when it comes up). Bill, tgo P.S. By the way, the Blind Faith concert was the Hyde Park video. EXCELLENT! P.P.S. Isn't it refreshing to have disagreements around here without losing the love? (Message edited by lbpesq on December 09, 2006) | ||

Hi Keith Yeah, Axe-In-Hand is still here - kind of. Larry passed away a few years ago. His widow took over, but didn't like the business. It closed briefly, then three of his (not her) sons reopened it across the street. Still a nice, locally-owned, family-run shop, but the legendary vintage stock seems to be depleting (amazingly - I would have thought about the '67 Tele, but $13K!?!?! So much for reasonable.) Their tech, Shayna, is good, too, and I'm all for any place that will let me play guitars I can't afford without pressuring me to buy anyway. Peter | ||

Can't we just recognize that there are differences of opinion? I thought we were supposed to celebrate diversity. I mean this to the world at large, not our fine little group of tolerance here at the Alembic Club (well, unless you're talking about midrange controls!). To the original post, the car is where I get in trouble with the Colonel. I say, "I like to listen to the music, not just have it in the background." She says, "It's too loud." Bradley | ||

My wife likes my music, though she does appreciate that the big amps are down at the studio. I don't get very loud at home. A lot of my playing at home is in the form of picking up an electric and playing along (unplugged) to TV commercials. I find it to be great ear training to be able to figure out the key and chord changes in the 30-60 seconds the commercial is running. And there's LOTS of good music in TV commercials these days, though I'm not real thrilled with hearing some of my old heroes being used to sell soap. An interesting phenomena is that when I'm either learning a new song, or writing one, at home, my wife usually doesn't like it. Then when she hears the finished product with the full band, she loves it. Olie: What hump? Bill, tgo | ||

I'm so confused... are we back on topic yet, or do we even care? All I know is that this is a lot more fun than many of those (L)ess (G)reat threads we've been enduring lately. I liked the original cat thing. Never had one myself, never will, but it seems some of the neighbors' cats like to hang out at my place, and I can't help thinking (make-believing) that they like the music I blast all day. I know (for sure) the birds like Coltrane, not sure what the cats prefer (I think they're pretty flexible). But yeah, having a house where you can play Mothers Live at the Fillmore, late at night at an "appropriate" volume, without upsetting your neighbors... that's life. As for the veggie thing, I'm not there yet myself, and so far can't imagine ever giving up seafood, and probably chicken (at least I'm up to cage-free eggs...). But I saw someone's signature on a cooking forum that I really liked, which went something like: "If it pumps blood and poops for a living, then I won't eat it". | ||

As far as the Chicks and the "Nuge"(which I love) are concerned, I believe ALL actors and musicians with a deep bank account should keep their mouths shut! It's down to this, it does not matter who is in office or in the house, they will never be affected by it. They just want to show their feeble attempt at "caring" for the American underdog. The sooner everyone with a brain cell figures that out the better. Oh yes, turn it up and explain/apologise to the neighbors on Sunday. | ||

Shut up and play!!! Concerning volume, a neighborhood cookout or a little help with projects or stuff goes a long way with weeding out noise complaints. And, thankfully, my wife is my biggest supporter!! She actually thinks I'm good!!!! Mike...... | ||

Ted Nugent is definitely an entertainer. I saw Ted and the Amboy Dukes in '71 (I think) opening for Bloodrock of all people. He put on a great show. Bloodrock was less entertaining.

I don't have a problem with recognizable names/faces garnering attention for a cause, because it's all laid out in front of you who they are and what their motivations probably are. I do have a HUGE problem with our current system of lobbyists, who operate largely in the shadows and who do it solely for the $$$. The lobbyists are destroying our government and our country, imho. Celebrities? You can always turn the channel. Lobbyists? You don't even know they're there.. As for Ted not fitting in with the editorial opinions of the mainstream corporate-owned media, that's silly. Ted is simply irrelevant. Note that Ted hasn't been blocked from playing Clear Channel venues that I'm aware of, whereas the Dixie Chicks have been blocked from all of them (which is pretty much ALL venues of any size). Clear Channel wouldn't play them either, and they own most of the stations in this country. I only dabble in media matters these days, but spend a great deal of time tracking the flow (or not) of information. My family has been in broadcasting forever (Marconi was a family friend), and I've been involved in journalism specifically (print and television) for 20+ years. And I was a Republican before I started putting the pieces together. Today's newsrooms don't have budgets to actually investigate much beyond airing the press releases supplied to them. On top of that, it's often verboten (though totally unspoken) to go after anything related to sponsorship or the parent company's political philosophy. That's how the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (whose funding came from a political operative) get equal time without anybody researching them or their claims (which are full of holes enough to sink a, er, Swift Boat) until it's too late. Sorry about the rant, but I don't tell doctors what's wrong with doctors, because I realize I don't know how that business works... Oh, and back on topic somewhat - Last night I wasn't as loud on stage as I would have preferred, but I'm pretty certain the entire block could hear it anyway.... John | ||

I like the idea of all actors staying out of politics, especially if it starts with Arnold Schwarzenegger! What kind of music do cats like? It's hard to put them as a group into one category. First of all, they love Grateful Dead spinoffs - especially Jerry's "Cat's Under The Stars" and Robert Hunter's "Tiger Rose". I've heard of older ones that were big Lovin' Spoonful fans, especially of "Nashville Cats". And I had a cat many years ago in college, (me, not the cat), who loved the old Big Band sound. Her favorite was "Catanooga Choo Choo". When I used to live in the country, a friend had a pet that was a big Kitty Wells fan. And speaking of the Nuge, there's this feral feline that hangs around my neighborhood that's always humming - yea, you saw it coming a mile away - "Cat Scratch Fever". I guess I'd better sign off before I turn this thread into a complete catastrophe! LOL BIll, tgo Bill, tgo | ||

Bob said "I know (for sure) the birds like Coltrane. You need to be more specific; Coltrane's career, while short, represents a broad spectrum. For instance, if the birds like early Coltrane then chances are they like Sonny Rollins as well; but if they prefer late period Coltrane then perhaps they also like Ornette Coleman. Keith said "as far as celebrities go I don't understand the disproportionate amount of attention they and professional athletes get in our society. Totally agree. John mentioned the role celebrities can play in bringing attention to certain causes. This is an important point, an example being Bono of U2. While I'm not yet sure if I agree with his methods, I do appreciate the fact that he seems to be sincerely trying to help. John also mentioned Clear Channel. While trying to keep political issues from getting out of hand, I will mention that media consolidation is an important issue here in the US as well as other countries around the world. And despite which side of the issue you may agree with, if you aren't already closely following this issue here in the US, I encourage you to do so, and to let the FCC and your congressional representatives know your position. The FCC has been holding "town meetings" across the country this past year. I attended one here in Asheville; there was a huge turnout and the people had a lot to say to the FCC. Interestingly, some aspects of this issue don't follow party lines, an example being low-power radio. Bill; too late! | ||

Sorry, Dave, that was terribly sloppy of me. As I recall, stuff from Giant Steps or My Favorite Things were quite popular, so call it '59-61 or so. For a while, a few years ago, a mockingbird would often come sit on my chimney and sing when I was playing those; its song would come down the chimney and reverberate around the living room.

FWIW, my parents presently run a small network of 4 conservative Christian radio stations (after my father getting totally out of the business once). One of Dad's big concerns is the dominance of the Clear Channel, Emmis, Sinclair and such huge corporations feeding the entire nation virtually identical content and not servicing many of the basic communication needs of local communities. Hyper-conservatives and hyper-liberals have a shared interest in the issue. Bringing this back around again, my parents also have a cat for the first time in 30+ years. My dad has always hated them, but this one is his buddy. Go Figger. Dad is going a bit deaf, and it's probably my fault.  Good thread with lots of excellent perspective from everyone involved.

Graeme, It all started by comments they made at a concert in London. Natalie Mains said "Just so you know, we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas." From then on they were persona non gratis in much of the country music scene. Back to my opinion that too much is made of what celebrities say. Keith | ||

Actually I guess they hadn't done their research. George W. Bush is originally from Connecticut... | ||

Regarding Axe-In-Hand. I went there once in the early 90's and dealt with Larry himself. A dumb, know nothing young adult trying to sell a guitar to get some cash. Anyhoo, he took my guitar, said "the neck is warped" put some effort into fixing it, and handed it back to me (it was, and is ((I still have it)) an Applause). I said "don't you want to buy it?". His response "Nobody wants the 'Clap'". I laughed 'cos it struck me very funny, and said "Hah that's good!". Larry says, "It's not good for you. $25" I loved that and it taught me a lot. I still can't give up the POS guitar because of that story. He let me jam on the '60s Vox 12 string he had, even though I obviously didn't have any money. Sorry to hear he's passed on. |
