I have a friend who made his guitar in high school shop, a solid body electric of course. Autographed by Johnny Johnson many years ago. Its a pretty fair sounding piece of maple, but no comparison to the clarity of your instrument. To paraphrase a nearly 80 year old acoustic bass player brother-in-law of mine, that guitar is 'tasty stuff'. He (the friend) and about 3 others, another guitar player, a father & teen aged son trade places on an axe, & a drummer whom I've never figured out why he isn't doing it professionally, he's that good. They get together to jam on friday nights, but even on their best night, theres no comparison to this. Thanks. This one is a definite keeper. But why an mp3, why not a q7 (or higher) ogg? -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.

But that raises the question as to how we should compensate those who are doing work such as this? Thats what the RIAA was supposedly formed to do as part of their reason to exist. But once you get a suit involved its everyone for himself, suits first. Some, like Janice Ian, have taken the commercial route by selling her work on cd's, over the net at prices in the area of the big name stuff, and I've bought some knowing she will get quite a bit of it to spread to her assistants after the card processing fees. This is a good model for those well established although Janice is a bit borderline to the 'great unwashed masses'. What I'd like to see is a site where works like this could be posted in a quad of format choices. A very highly smunched version could be used as the free sampler, in both ogg and mp3 formats, while the high quality, ogg at Q7 or so, mp3 at or more than 128k, would cost the downloader a trip into his wallet for his credit card. The site owner could then take 50 cents of that dollar for processing the credit card, and the artist gets the other 50 cents. More than he/she would ever get from the RIAA today. Maybe thats unrealistic from the standpoint of the card people, who probably lose money processing a $1 purchase if they aren't fully computerized, but you get the idea. Personally I think it sucks the big one when the RIAA gives the artist less than 5 cents on the dollar and then has the unmitigated gaul to charge the artist for the production and advertising of the disk, sleeve and carrier as has become prevalent today. Where is their gamble? The artist is sure tossing the dice, with a heck of a lot lower chances than a roll of the dice offers. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.

BTW, just checked your Website.....As a young inspired guitfiddler in Australia, playing in a country rock band (my first band) and beleive me, there was no such thing as "Country rock" (Amazing Rythym Aces and Pure Prarie Legue somewhat lost on our audiences) as such then in Aus, we covered a tune by Rodney Crowell called "Stars on the Water"...a simple but catchy little tune (I still play it today)...and I remembered thinking...who the heck plays that solo...it seemed relatively easy to play. That is untill I tried to pick up all those little inflections and the super clear voicing of bending notes. I looked at the back of the album to see and behold, Mr. Albert Lee! An English Country picker no less!!! :) I then watched one of those Videos he had showing how to play on that beat up ol' tele he has with a million signatures on it. That RH finger style coupled with a pick had me just baffled back then. I use it in a round about way today. He is truly one of my guitfiddler gods! :) R~

Wish I could say "I have met him" :) Wish I could play "Country boy" too! It's like the guy had an extra finger! I think he is one of the unsung heros...he has backed nearlly everyone including Clapton for that matter. It is probably fair to say he was doing a lot of that stuff in an electric axe before the Nashville super invasion kicked in also. Most that played like that were flat pickers on steel string acoustics. And don't think I'm attempting to imply I can play like him either! :) He has more ability in his little fingers than I hope to have in my life! But I can say this...the feel I attempt to place in anything I play comes from his type of style and many other well rounded greats like him. Folks that could coax a piece of wood and steel to sing like a bird! :) OH...and Nashville tuning (octave set E,A,D & G) on a regular 6 string acoustic...another little cool trick as a sort of cross over mandolin feel....I picked that up from his video....gawd...must be 25 yrs ago now. Ugh...I feel old! :) R~

Also check the reading and writing permissions on the various devs. Then my suggestion is to get every application you need as source. That's all. c.
