As ghoulish as it sounds, next time a guitarist goes to play with Hendrix, see how many other proffessionals follow soon after. The rule applies to other performers.

Okay, this means 1) I don't yet have a collection, but 2) I have nearly as many guitars as a working musician, so I better get to steppin' on the learning. 2 acoustic 6 strings 1 resonator 6 string 1 Fender Strat 1 [this space reserved for an ASAT] 1 Gibson 335 RI If I just called myself a collector, that'd be one thing. But it's kind of like "Would you rather have sex or just read the letters to Penthouse?" Okay, it's nothing like that.

I started in '65 playing "Gloria" and bar-chording "Just Like Me" along with a buddy (whom I last saw in '73, when he came thru Grand Rapids with his Mossman--where are you, Mitch Makowsky? Jersey?). Got a Harmony for Xmas in '65 to replace the Blue Bird. Stomped a hole in the Harmony (customer dissatisfaction); bought a Guild Madeira A6 for way too much money in '68 (still have it). Never learned how to swim in the deep end until recently. I would've loved lessons, but I think I'm at a point where I can get myself thru the fundamentals with the books I have + just applying myself. Maybe after that some lessons would help. So you started playing in a band in '72, after the '68 lesson-hating wore off, or howzat work? ___ X WinQwk 2.0b#683 X "I think not" said Descartes, and promptly disappeared. --- Maximus 3.01 * Origin: The Flying Circus BBS (1:2410/905) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 175 GUITAR Ref: F3300044 Date: 02/28/98 From: MARK VANSICKLE Time: 01:19am \/To: GARY SMITH (Read 0 times) Subj: guess what!

Based on that thought, I should've written Blues songs in the Army, but (even after seeing Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee when I was 17 or 18) I still didn't know or hadn't realized what the Blues was. When I brought reel-to-reel tapes of Johnny Winter's _Johnny Winter_ album and Taj Mahal's _De Ole Folks at Home_ album home from 'Nam, I only knew that Winter was playing slide and I liked it, and that the credits on the Taj case said "National Steel Guitar" in the instruments list.
