Guitar Talk

[dmiller]

I was replying to a friend on another board, who has a sig line of:

The old gray matter ain't what it used to be,

Ain't what it used to be,

Ain't what it used to be.

I went to YouTube to find the *Old Gray Mare* to post in deference to her play on words,

and found this gem in there instead.

The name of the group was Lez Karski, and the Nervous Investors.

With a name like that -- I just HAD to click on it!!

I'm not much of a blues kinda guy -- but even this I, IV, V rendition got my attention. :)

Nice tune, dmiller! I like Les's sound, didn't expect that voice to come out of that cap! Both guitarists do a nice blues shred there.

Speaking of Ford, Youtube has some clips of him, including some lesson stuff. He is surely one of the nicest, most grounded musician's. I met him briefly at an outdoor concert few years ago. (Wed bumped paths way back when in the early '70's at a few gigs when he was real young, with the "Robben Ford Blues Band", around San Francisco).

Often in performing situations people are distracted by the goings on and it's difficult to focus on their audience. Ford was "there".

I found this song, performed by the great Tommy Emmanuel. "Here Comes the Sun (Beatles medley)". Enjoy! Everyone have a Merry and safe Christmas!

In 1966, Randy Wolfe joined Jimmy James and The Blue Flames as a 2^nd guitarist.Jimmy James, who was born John Hendrix, aka Jimi Hendrix, needed a way to distinguish him from the bass player from Texas who was also named Randy.So, he called the bass player Randy Texas and the 2^nd guitarist Randy California because that is where he was from.About a year later, Randy California formed his own band along with his well known jazz drumming step father, Ed Cassidy.They called the group----Spirit. Here's Spirit in 1968.

That Jimi Hendrix clip is AWESOME. Not many people realize that beyond all that guitar-fire setting and feedback beat the heart of a bluesman. Better breakfast than Wheaties, uh, granola.
