Sax player picking up a guitar?! Oh man, don't bother, guitarists are a dime a dozen! Get a Tommy Castro CD or a Jimmy Thackery CD to hear what a sax can do for a blues band! In fact, if you love the blues, get two Tommy Castro CDs! He da man and sho 'nuff he needs the money! His sax player is freakin' great, too!

Nony,
I'm kinda partial to Joe Houston, actually, maybe some King Curtis. What's the recipe for Memphis Soul Stew? : )
Thanks for the tip, Keith Crossan can blow. Guess I gotta go CD shopping tomorrow.
Playing in Blues and Soul bands is why I'm more comfortable in Db F# and other weird keys than I am playing in C ; )
Remind me to tell you about the time I got to back Billy Paul . . .

violin
Heres mine! Not a guitar I know but the Violin has always spoken to me more than any other instrument. I play mostly Irish/Bluegrass music but have messed with latin Jazz a little just to do something different. Back before my kids and 69 hour work weeks I would play with friends rock bands to add a little flavor. I just use a little cheap amp right now.

>>>You guys always get all the chicks.
Only in my dreams...

Whodom - that might explain why the Peavey is cheap... I might go back and try it though, it looks like it could handle a small pub gig, and it'd easily fit in the boot of my car, which is a plus... and it's cheap - more money to spend on the X1 : )

Anonymous - It's an Ibanez Talman. A TC530 to be precise, only made like that in 1994. I could babble on about it for ages, but I'll refrain... a bit... it's my favourite guitar, ie if there was a fire, it's the one I'd grab... it's one of the first ones made and I think I got lucky, sort of equivalent to an S2, the early ones had all the good bits on them and were "crafted" more than "manufactured" : )

>>>>How many of us ride Buells, play guitar

Here...I'll raise the ante. How many manufacturers (i.e. their name is on the HEADSTOCK) of big name guitars are motorcycle enthusiasts.

There is a connection.

The "guitarists are a dime a dozen" is spot on. There are probably tens of thousands of top level studio folks in NYC. My advise to the mutant offspring is to capitalize on the "basics", being there on time, being reliable, etc.

: )

A day on a Buell can teach you a lot about music. Two hours with an E335 can teach you alot about a Buell.

Court - also off to the CD store.

Neil Pert is a drummer and major moto enthusiast. I may stop by Neil McCoy's motorcycle shop in Longview, Texas today if I get a chance.

I bet I could be a decent drummer. : )

Hey guys,

I did buy an amp. I ended up getting a Vox AD60VTX. Great little modeling amp (1x12). Went to Guitar Center and started playing through everything. Amps have changed alot since I last had one (over 10 years ago). Its amazing how the sound quality changes from a $300 amp to a $800 amp. The Vox was $800 and has every effect I could want built into it. It also has 32 preset configurations modeled after certain groups sounds, AC/DC, ZZtop, etc.

I could play that thing for days, I forgot how fun it is.

I played the Vox also and thought it was a dandy little noise box. I didn't care much for the verbage in the owner's manual tho- too much "Wow, dude, this is gnarly.." language. Thought the Fender Cyber Deluxe was great also.

Oh boy, drummer jokes!

*A new customer walks into the new store on the block that sells brains. There are three glass cases, each containing a nice wet quivering grey brain. The first one says "Astrophysicist", and it costs $10. The second says "Avon Salesman" and costs $1000. The third says "Drummer" and costs $10,000. The customer is confused, and questions the salesperson.
"I don't get it...why would I want a drummer's brain for $10,000 when I can get an astrophysicists' for $10?".

The salesman replies, "Because it's never been used."

*Did you hear about the guitarist who was going to a gig and locked his keys in the car? It took him two hours to get the drummer out....

*Q: What does the average drummer get on an IQ test?
A: Drool.

*What do you call a drummer with half a brain?
Gifted.

(Actually, you could substitute guitar player for these and it works too...but don't tell the drummer)

Guitar, yes. I've always been an acoustic player.

But how many Buell riders have one of these in their home?:
Lute
15 strings in 8 courses (pairs, with one single), and frets of gut that we put on.
If you like the "oldies (think Renaissance)", then this is your ax! : ]
