How to make a 6-string sound like a 12-string (which is the way he did it in 1970 when he first recorded it on "Mudlark")*:

FF to 14:20, listen to the story....and then play like this guy and....


Hear The Wind Howl


FWIW, a helluva' story follows it.

Just had to share this....not too damn bad, being that it's from 1962. Not too damn bad at all....and on the "Fontana" record label to boot!

Very good stuff. Looks like it was these guys:

I liked this statement:

"Instrumental tracks from the band have often been mistaken as that of The Shadows and retrospectively people have often wrongly assumed that The Hunters were copiest. In truth there were a number of instrumental bands around in the very late 50s and early 60s who played in a similar style and their sound was more a product of the guitars and equipment available at the time."

...so true. And you can hear influences from each across the bands and guitarists and licks.

This last summer, Stoopy Mk.II worked at the nearby large concert hall (Nissan Pavilion, now known under the new and very SILLY sounding name of Jiffy Lube Live) as "Event Staff". It was a good gig for him as a first job to get acquainted with the niceties of working with the general public, helping people find their seat, not letting drunk people sit in the wrong row, all that fun stuff. Aside from being able to see several fine acts of varying genres while being paid, he will, no doubt, also be a mode concert-goer in the future as a result.

Doing what we can here in VA to help out.

BFD, I've been "event staff" at many a Jiffy Lube Live event.


I hope he saves for future events where he's not on staff. You can buy top notch all-night entertainment for what I've seen "A" tickets going for.

Q: Why I haven't been to a concert since '94? * + ** #

*Jackson Browne and John Hiatt, at the Embarcadero on San Diego Bay, which was excellent and I didn't have to kill anybody.

+John Hammond, Jr. and Charlie Musslewhite in mid-2000's, which doesn't count as it was in a small venue near Del Mar, I forget where.

**Light a firecracker and die.

# Special mention for the party of four sitting in front of Ascout and an ETS'd Marine at Leo Kottke/Linda Ronstadt at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD (1970-something) who thought they'd chat during Leo Kottkes' set to pass the time waiting for Linda Ronstadt. Bad call. After well-earned emphatic admonition, not a word was spoken for the next 2.5 hours.@

@ ...and not a head was turned more than 45 degrees from forward.

Obviously a student of the John Milner school of music review. Who'd listen to that "surfin' s***" when there's "hot rod rock" to be had?

I think John Milner might approve of this one... or, I can at least imagine it being enjoyed by The Pharaohs as they cruise around in that cool Merc...

I like it....I LIKE IT! Anything to become a Pharaoh, wear the car jacket and, well, maybe pass on the blood initiation...and you don't want that, right?

Looks like someone else bought a copy of Ascout's favorite drag racing sound effects LP back in the 60's and use some excerpts in their own studio recording...

A song omitted from the CD release. From someone's remarks there, you can see how this song works over several levels, some of them quite tragic.

For the younger sau's amongst us, here's a little something from 1979...actually all of side B of Nicolette's first album (though she'd backed up about every decent band out there at one time or another).

The breakout song on this was "Rhumba Girl", but what always hooked me was the side B opener of the Holland-Dozier-Holland song "Don't Do It", covered by just about everybody, including the band...but Nicolettes was special.

Just HOW special is evident in the musical lineup for that album....Pretty much everybody in Little Feat, various Jackson Browne lineups, Prime Doobie Brother Pat Simmons and a whole lotta' names you'll recognize from the singer-songwriter era. Pretty nice lineup to kick off a debut solo effort, for sure.

"Don't Do It" just rules, but I like other stuff on here, including "The Angels Rejoiced". I amped up my own version of Don't Do It and added some echo, but this ain't it...

So, here ya' go....

Rock on!

Does a righteous tune ever benefit from visuals?


It's not for me to say....
