Me again
       Forgot to ask Badeye , tell us more about that fiddle .
Do you use electronics on it ? I use a bridge p.u. with a clamp on jack that I can switchover from violin to viola in about 5 min. Gives a real nice mellow tone and I use it with a stand alone preamp that I can tweak on to my heart's content............with a little reverb and just a touch of chorus
you'd swear that fiddle was cryin........

Hello GSE, I'm afraid the fiddle has a little dust on it. It hasent been played in four years when I had the bridge replaced and restrung.The repair man offered me 3500.00
dollars for it but would never sell it. It was oringally owened
by my great grandfather passed down through the years and I was lucky enough to get it. Maybee I should put it back is service as it would be a great addition to our kitchen jams. The repair man at the time said it was about 104 years old so it was made around the turn of the century. I hope to pass it down as well some day.Enough ramblin,keep
on fiddlin.

  take care...Badeye.

Hi Bootlegger, the DVD is great and really enjoy the interviews as well. I think they are polished musicians and would love it if they did a tour so younger folks could see what great musicians they are. Just finished Claptons Bio and is amazing he is still alive.Oh as well just puschased
Claptons new Crossroads Festival and also is great to watch.
Clapton is truly a guitar god.

  Have a good day....Badeye.


PS> Check out "The Last Waltz" by the Band where Clapton and Robbie Robertson have a little guitar war.Its awesome.

NO, is it worth to buy the DVD?
I love what you wrote: "they still have it after 37 years." I know that they split because of their 3 strong characters, but the "chemistry" doesn't go away.
They offered a FORTUNE to see a Beatles reunion, even without Lennon, they suggested Julian LENNON. He looks very much like JOHN, and when he had finally a big hit, closing your eyes and listening to the voice = a LENNON voice. So strange how people can have a large DNA portion from one of the parents.
About CLAPTON: he got 3 SUPER GROUPS= CREAM, BLIND FAITH, DEREK AND THE DOMINOES.
Which is the best? I don't  know, maybe the day that Ocean's Boulevard was released?

Yes Docphil well worth it I think. Jack Bruce on bass, Ginger Baker on drums and Eric Clapton on guitar you can't go wrong. Growing up I listened to all three of the bands you mentioned and the DVD brought back some of that great music. They had timing which any good band needs.

BADEYE, I get scared, we almost need to go to a "nursery home for old people", I am born in 1955.
About the very first guitar, yes this has been already a few times a topic, but it's always nice to answer. I had a "piece of junk" belonging to my younger brother, BUT WITH an Electro-Acoustic element, and thinking about conquering the world. My studies did change plans. So my first guitar was a YAMAHA FG 300, for about $300 and 30 years ago. This was a guitar with a pick-guard like a Gibson Hummingbird. Also choices were quit limited in Europe. GIBSON & FENDER electrics, acoustic Yamaha was considered as a good guitar. Two tuners are broken, so 4 strings left and when picking a string, I'm amazed to hear a REAL GOOD SOUND.  I have the impression, that these Yamaha's are "wanted". I remember that thatguitar was really good, but my real interest started with a Black, reflecting finish, Gibson LP studio, followed by a Martin HD-28, I received from a junkie in need of money: 750$ (It was between 700-800$) and the rset is history.

Hey DocPhil we are not getting older we are getting better.

Have a great day...Badeye

Wow , twenty years ago ?
Are you and old timer too ?That must have been a traumatic experience for you,
( and a Martin too .) I bet you still have nightmares about that one .
   My first was a Stella flat top that was old when I got it ( forty five years ago when I was ten yrs old , I guess that dates me  ) .Knowing what I know now it was an awfull guitar , but I did'nt know the difference at the time . To me it was the holy grail . I learned a lot of what I know on that guitar . That was untill my two older sisters
were playing piggy back in the living room and fell on it when I had it sitting in a chair
smashed the top in .
( I think they were just mad because I had more sisters than they did....... )

GSE, Yeap twenty years ago, I was 29 so that dates me. At the time I didn't know what made a good guitar or names of brands. An old coal miner buddy of my Dads gave me the guitar as he thought I would be interested in it. Never told him what happened the the guitar and now can't. He passed on a few years ago at the ripe old age of 98. I still have it in storage just to have it . Hey parties have gotten a little mellower since then, no more drunken stumblin fools.

have a good day...Badeye.

My first guitar was an older Martin. I only knew a few chords at the time. We had a big party and a drunken fool fell on it as it sat in the corner and broke the headstock completly off.
I was pissed and didn't get another till some 20 years later. I
tried to glue it back but was never the same so I abandonbed
guitar till two years ago. I should have had him buy me a new one but didn't. Of course he did'nt come to another party we had.

Morning to you Old Doll. To peel your a@# you just get up and do something, anything. Remember there is a difference
in scratching you A%& and ripping the skin off. he he.If we knew how hot dogs were made we would never eat them.
Lots of killing floor by products in those dogs.

Here in eastern Canada we like a dish called Corned Beef
and Cabbage. It consists of Corned Beef, Cabbage, Potatoes
Carrots,and Turnip. Local stores sell corned beef and you soak it for a day to rid it of salt. You cut the veggies to a large size and boil all together for about 45 minutes putting the potatoes in for the last 25 minutes. Drain and serve with
sweet mustard pickles. The next day you can cut it smaller and fry it in pan for what is called corned beef hash. Its one of my favorite dishes to eat. Put the corned beef on for 20 minutes to boil before adding the veggies. Some people call
it Boiled Dinner. Resturants have it as a special once a week and you gotta get there early because it sells out real fast.
  Its early in the morning here and have the craving for it just typing about it.


B L T- bacon, lettuce, tomato on toasted bread.

  Good Eating..... Badeye.

My top five are all Canadain;

Matt Minglewood Band

April Wine

Rush

The Guess Who

Crash Helmut Jug Band.
