  1. That would not be a con for me right now cause I pretty much play acoustic unless a song really calls for electric. That amp really fits my needs as far as playing rythem. If and when I take a lead I know straight up that amp has got it. Even the "boring part" of playing rythem guitar takes on a whole new way of looking at things. I've only played that amp four times or so, but it seems like the most mondain parts of a song's stucture takes on a whole new life. I saw one on ebey with two tens in it(moded), what are the pro's and con's on that?
  2. I had to pay for one babysiter that night, now two? If you can't take care of yourself, please stay home. Please don't make this into another band I can't go see because people are out of control. I have been that guy before, I have gotten punched in the face, I have got kicked out of shows. I know what it is like on both sides, I would kick my own ass if I saw myself acting like shit head. I never wan't to be that guy ever again. I still drink..............and yet considerate of others. How does that work? It's not that cool being THAT GUY. I am so glad I was in the balcony that night....
  3. Yup, great stuff, he's coming to St. Louis in about a month with Eff Barzalay..................holy fn'n line up!
  4. Secret weapons of mass detsruction! Glory over the fame......read below. Bob Weir use to carry a Dylan song book on him at all times. The who influenced who question is a double sided sword. Yes, Townes was influenced by Dylan and the same can go for Dylan the other way around. Everyone was playing and pickin' with each other during the uprising of folk music. That romantic period has long been gone for a period of time now until recently. We are finaly getting back to basics, playing for the pure joy of it and helping your fellow brother or sister out. Look at Jim James, Gillian, Conor, W
  5. "Townes van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that." - Steve Earle "I've met Bob Dylan and his bodyguards, and I don't think Steve Earle could get anywhere near his coffee table." - Townes Van Zandt "Some people think Bob is a poor man's Bruce Springsteen, but personally I always thought Bruce was the rich man's Bob Seger. Love 'em both, though." - Bob Dylan Some say John Prine, some say Tom Waits.
  6. I am curently selling a shit ton of gear to get this amp. The fucking warmth at low settings is out of this world. Best Buy..............................period. I have owned or played every fender combo out there, each has it's pro's and con's, but not the case with the 65 Deluxe Reverb. The only fender amp I can't let go is my 78 Vibro Champ. The Deville 4/10 is way to fucking heavy and at lower settings, sounds like shit. It sounds like your in the same price range as me right now, so do what you will. I've spent the last 5 years going through fenders, marshals, peavey, and vox amps. Go bu
  7. yup You know who they call "The Poor Man's Bob Dylan", right? I know of a man in town that straight up blows any singer/writer out of the water concerning folk music. You or anyone else for that matter might never get a chance to hear his music. When I listen to him play, I wan't to pack my guitar up for good and call it quits. My point being is that the world may never know of the one's hiding out in their basements that are creating some of the best music ever made. Not everyone gets that chance. My heros aren't anyone famous, just friends I've met along the way. Thank you, and when I pa
  8. About 10 miles of blow up his nose?
  9. I heard it from Jeff himself......yes.
  10. Townes Kills All...................you think of guys like these, Earle, Young, these dudes paid their debts, and lived the lives they spoke of. Dlyan never road the rails Cash never wen't to prison Windows Vista is the new Mac
  11. get a few beers in me and I'll shed some clothes next time! I'm really enjoying sober shows these days, even though it looks like I'm dreading the whole experience. Keeping things clean doesn't change anything! Also, thumb wrestling is a good ice breaker!
  12. Yeah, sorry for the quiet thing. I mean no disrespect at all, it takes me along time to feel comfortable around people I don't know. I have a fear of large crowds and meeting new people, it took a few years to feel comfortable around any VCer's..............I pretty much held on to M Chris for dear life at that show. I'm not one to usualy stand in line all day or ride the rail for shows unless she is there. She is one hell of a blanket for me in public.....is the scene but not the scene, stand back and waite your turn kind of girl. Your good people! and very kind! Thanks
  13. One day, one day my friend you will eat those words. I was talking to M Chris about how long it would take to listen to every Kinks album excluding live one's. I thought a drive from NY to LA back to NY and alot of camping along the way back to LA.
  14. I just realized that in every VC picture ever taken I am wearing the same two t-shirts. Will someone take me shopping? Good Will.........anything!
  15. How much you talkin'? I really wan't those Barden's for my tele/strat hybrid but each one is around $200.00.
  16. Dylan could never pull off a nudie suit. Tweedy would never grow a mustache. Gram Parsons would do both. I like ladies underwear, and vw's.....so tuff call. I think we are all completely fucking wrong, except for Louie who seems to be agreeing with everyone! I miss you dude, I told Allison about a dream I had where you and I were contestants on the Price is Right, but Bob Barker was still the host.........of course after I bet $500.00 you pulled the hall of shame move and went up to $501.00! Hope to see you soon.................................Louie B .........Come On Down!
  17. Yup, pretty much my whole life. There are very few of us around the St. Charles area but were good people. I wen't to St. Pats in grade school and switched around from school to school for a period of time, hell, I even did my junior year at St. Dominics! I live on DD and D near Hwy N. You play any music?
  18. yup That can cause even further damage else where on down the line. If you decide to, really bend and twist or even wrap your strings around the pins.
  19. Agree to a point, but rhyming every line can take some intent out of context. Yes they both have done some of each, but I see Tweedy more as obscure poet more than anything. I see comparing Dylan to Loudon, Townes, or Prine, and asking this question would make more sense. Tweedy is way out of the picture on this one. And yes I am a Dylan freak.
  20. How the hell is Lennon in the lead? I wen't with George because Ray is in a catagory of his own.
  21. Ass backwards...........................Dylan = Story Teller , Tweedy = Poet dumb thread
