I love figuring out songs that you wouldn't hear often just on guitar... "Tempted" by Squeeze and Jimmy Ruffin's "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" are my favorites to play right now.

it was so obvious, especially on the "see" in "oh, say, can you see"... Totally weird.

that was great to see Prince with guys like Petty, Lynne, etc... his playing is right there, and he brings a nice sliver of bling to a relatively calm stage. Dhani was all smiles, George woulda been too.

loved it!!!

Clarence's intro on this is priceless! Woman to Woman - Shirley Brown If I Were Your Woman - Gladys Knight & the Pips Tell Mama - Etta James Don't Mess With My Man - Irma Thomas I Lost My Gal from Memphis - Tex Williams

Got the Bose cranking right now, and it sounds 6 times its size. Worth it.

glad you feel that way, deepsea, I guess I do as well. Kyle, that hot rod deluxe is fantastic, ain't it? So versatile, and the price is right, so you don't feel bad if it falls off the side of the stage (it still works just fine!) Been using it like crazy of late with a pod xtlive for fx (easy to carry, remembers settings, makes life less complicated)

I've got way too many guitars. Electric: Gretsch 6120 Fender Jaguar Fender custom Tele w/two splitting humbuckers Fender Strat Fender Tele Thinline '72 reissue Fender Tele (red, mid-80s I think, beaten senseless) Fender Tex-Mex Tele Fender Nashville Tele w/Fishman piezo built-in to bridge Line 6 Variax Acoustic: 1936 Martin nylon string (very beaten up) Gretsch Rancher Jumbo Gretsch Rancher mini-Jumbo (these Gretsches are my workhorses... they average 5 gigs/week and are still going strong) Yamaha 6-string (late 70s, don't know much more about it) Bass: Danelectro Longhorn Fender Jazz Ba

itunes is working overtime today... last 25: Early Bird - The Deadly Snakes They Don't Give Medals (To Yesterday's Heroes) - Chuck Jackson Gonna Build a Mountain - Buddy Emmons Hawaiian Boogie - Elmore James Rag Doll - The 4 Seasons This is Radio Clash - The Clash Leaving Blues - Leadbelly Home is Where the Hatred Is - Esther Phillips The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane - Ray Charles Switch-a-Roo - Hank Ballard & the Midnighters Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 - Bob Dylan Never Had a Love So Good - Charles Johnson You're Going to Lose That Girl - The Beatles Sugar Diet - Charlie Adams Packt

Totally agree. Batteries... wires... placed under an overpass... glad they thought "bomb". What if they didn't, and it was?

enjoy!

just thought of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" as well, but can't choose between S&G or Aretha.

happy belated, robert!

same. multiple times.

Happy 30th, sweetie! xoxoxoxo from Patti and I... enjoy the time away and see you in a few weeks! -mart

Gotta disagree wholeheartedly (see "Hip Hug-Her" and "Boot-Leg" for some high-octane southern soul), but to each his own.

I might have to submit "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" by Jimmy Ruffin as well... along with "Be Thankful for What You Got" by William DeVaughn.

My neighbor keeps his horse in a paddock on our property... I petted him a little bit longer today after hearing about Barbaro.

Happy belated to both of you, with lots of x's and o's! -mart

You're absolutely positively right... Ruff kills it! And "Into the Mystic" is a fantastic choice.

Maybe Otis Redding's version would be more to your liking, with Booker T & the MGs putting down a gorgeous, stripped-down arrangement, and the Memphis Horns taking on the string arrangement.

Some great, great choices here, and there are at least a trillion finalists for me, but oddly enough I was having this very same discussion yesterday with some friends, and after a few hours and beers, my choice is "My Girl" by the Temptations. Simple, effective and universal message that pertains as much to love of a daughter, mother, aunt, sister, as it does to a girlfriend/wife, brilliant arrangement from a musical and vocal standpoint... Jamerson's heartbeat bass intro, Robert White's masterful guitar line, the strings at the end... I still melt when I hear it, nearly 35 years after liking

Holy fuck, Kyle...... I think I need my diaper changed!

yes, I was psyched to see him in the promo too.
