What kind of Scotch??
I'm not sure yet. I'll need to make a run to a liquor store once I get there and see what strikes me.

I think it's both hilarious and slightly disturbing that this thread is about discussing booze as opposed to what guitar everyone is bringing. Priorities!
JJJ has so many guitars he probably matches them to booze like steak and wine. This way he knows what to bring. Danelectros go great with canadian whiskey, but I think Guilds are better with Islay scotches.

I plan to bring a few treats, including 2-3 bottles of whiskey and bourbon from a local distiller.

I think that's a fine idea. I kinda like the way the package started simple, with an envelope of picks, but over time it included, CD's, tuners, a harmonica and various other musical related items. I suggest if we start it again, we keep it simple - just guitar picks. Then we can again watch the package grow as it goes "Around the World".
I would personally rather put something good in it whilst in Fl than wait for it to get maybe mailed to me, if we are gonna go through the trouble.

I just looked in my pick box. I've toyed with a bunch of different types and thicknesses but it seems I always go back to Martin .60 Delrins, Dunlop .60 Ultex or Dunlop .73 nylon. I noticed a pick from Australia that I kept when the "picks around the world" package passed through my hands. Does anyone know what happened to the package or who had it last?
i have no idea. We should restart it...maybe put together a new box at Chordiestock this year?

New Pick Day!
I just stopped by GC to refresh my pick stock ahead of Chordiestock. I have been playing dunlop tortexes in varying thicknesses for twenty years or so. For some reason, I decided to mix it up a bit.
In addition to tortex .73 (the yellow ones), I also got Tortex .73 sharps, which have a much pointier tip. I then bought two packs of Snarling Dog Brain picks (.60, the purple ones) because I love their pedals and want to see how their picks perform. Finally, I got a pack of Dunlop Primetones. They claim to be hand burnished, which is met with very good reviews on Amazon. The buggers are expensive though - $7 for two picks!
Does anyone have experience with any of these picks? What are your thoughts?
Thanks to you Zurf for getting picks on my brain. Can't wait to see everyone in FL.

That’s interesting. Id think it better for a one man show than with a band due to signal bleed. Let us know if you try it out!

Emmylou Harris has backed up pretty much everybody who has ever performed or listened to an Americana song.
Emmylou Harris and Bonnie Raitt have backed up Little Feat.
I think one of the cooler performances I saw was when Vince Gill was playing one of the big shows (maybe Crossroads) and when he started one of his songs you could see someone kind of jumping and doing a little giddy dance backstage. She ran out to grab a mic on the chorus and it was Sheryl Crow. Vince looked honestly surprised that Sheryl Crow commandeered one of his mics, but apparently she really liked the song and decided to sing back up.
That was over One more Last Chance, I think. At crossroads. Sick recording.

like a zeppelin/ Floyd mix was my impression of the first one, with a little Ron Jeremy thrown in on the side.
enjoyed it Neo

It plays very well up to 4.35 but then stops, and if I hit play it starts from 0:00. Can't seem to get past that 4:35 marker.
Great work on a 4 track though man.
