Any musicians among us?

[the544man]

My two favorites that i play are a standard Koa Goodall and a Concert Jumbo Rosewood Goodall. the koa for unplugged stuff and coffee house sounds and the rosewood with an elgleman top for fingerstyle. James Goodall guitars are inspiring instruments and works of art for sure. if you havn't played one yet--don't because every other guitar you play will be compared to his! he's a master builder and Goodall guitars have a voice like no other.

I am wondering if there is an Airstream accessory Sick Sack dispenser...or puke pan type item. If I ever have to watch The Black Eyed Peas at a half time show ...while I am in the Airstream, I will need immediate access....or else vomit wherever.

We switched to our local news for half time, so we missed the Peas. Sounds like it was a good thing.

You know I was telling my wife why didn't they have entertainment that you could understand what they were saying...I love black eyed peas in a taco salad...not on tv...didn't need the barf bag...I switched the channel...I did however, barf after the game...

It certainly wasn't Prince or the Stones. That is for DAMN sure!

I've played keys for a number of bands in the SW Ohio area over the past few decades. Mostly rock and top 40, but the last band covered newer country.

Music was a second job for a long time but now I'd rather be camping.

I played sax and bassoon in jr. high band, which was all my music training. Hey, it taught me to read music, anyhow. Then I got into guitars. Of course. I was a long hair, you see. We HAD to smoke dope and play guitars in those days. Mandatory. I picked up a few little Hohner blues harps and always had a harmonica with me. I went thru a number of six strings and 12 string acoustics. A couple electrics. Have a Fender cheapOCaster in the closet right now. Havent touched it in years. The strings have rusted thru twice here. Three years ago La Gringa gave me a violin for christmas. Because I was always digging cool fiddle music. I played around with it for a while, but then last year when we decided to get the airstream I realized it would be a nice little instrument to carry around. I started playing more, and now practice at least half an hour a day, minimum. Usually more.

Now I am looking for a good deal on a used electric violin, specifically something like the Yamaha SV (Silent Violin) 130. This doesn't have a sound box, so it's pretty quiet on it's own. I am thinking I can add one of the rubber or brass bridge mutes and make it even quieter. You can imput ipod music and play along listening thru headphones. I am thinking I will load up the ipod with a bunch of blues, and backing tracks, and blissfully wail away through my headphones while airstream camping, and nobody outside the trailer will ever hear it. Or in hotel rooms.

I would really love to listen to some live fiddlers who play blues. There are no such animals here on this little island where I live. Here, they play this wierd music that includes carpentry saws and kazoos. no kidding. It's a local kind of folk reggae, and it SURE ain't blues. Some of it is, mildly, okay.

Come to think of it, theres a version of "Dry Conch and Grits" by The Island Boys on one of our blog posts, if anyone is interested in what local Turks and Caicos Islands music sounds like.
2 Gringos in the Caribbean: "Take me back to Middle Caicos....

So you can see...If I want to hear live fiddle blues here, I have to play them myself..

I also play guitar and banjo....Have several Martins, and banjos as well....Old 67 mastertone and a recent new Gold Granada ..... Play the guitar mostly.....but can thump the 5 string when I've had a few.....

Was trolling Craigslist in the Corpus Christi music listings and ran across this ad for a Gibson Epiphone Air Screamer Trailer Park Troubador Guitar for sale in Portland, Tx (outside Corpus). No, I have nothing to do with it but though someone out there just might..!

What a strange axe!

Musicians entertain themselves.

Entertainers, entertain the audience.

Hence music way too loud, which becomes a noise.

Noise, a sound that's disliked.

Anything over 85 decibels, for more than a very few minutes, damages the ears.

Seniors many times have hearing problems, but the younger generation is oblivious to it.

Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction at the time. Hasn't changed.

Gibson Mark 35 acoustic. "Little Martin" LXM which fits just right in the Tambour doors in the Overlander! And, a Peavy "Jerry Donahue" Omniac - wish I could play it like Jerry. Still learning... Plan to make the Old Timers festival rally in Livingston, MT in early August.
