Fiona Apple  ,I love everything about this track , Checkout that Gibson Less Paul bass as well . I remember seeing those  hanging in music stores . This one has a lovely crunchy tone that I really love .Fiona Apple : a natural music genius whom learned to play the piano and write songs as a young child _____.  Her alto voice is really special in my opinion _____

We just got a kitten, and at the request of our 22 yo daughter, we named her Fiona Apple. 
Also, I have a Les Paul bass, but mine is a 90s rather than the 70s one in the vid. Great groove!

Joey sent me this one the other day... I'm not sure whether to be more fascinated by the player or the instrument! In addition to the bass register strings, it has a whole set of (think; bandurria) trebles below the guitar neck.

I have heard that one before (yes, Phillip, always through the cans), and may have posted it some time back - but not to worry; always nice to be reminded it could stand another listen!
Thanks, Greg.

I really need some Bluetooth headphones.


I bought a Bluetooth speaker for the shop but that silly thing sounds so bad that I quit bothering with it. I have this great big greenbean can on a shelf above my workbench... (one of them 101 oz. foodservice-sized deals...) I used to use it for old guitar strings, but since we recycle them at the store, I coil the strings and slip them in a Stew-Mac box and return them weekly to the bin at Fret Mill. Anyway, point is; I can queue up whatever I want to hear and stick my phone in that bigass can, and it sounds better than a purpose-built tube with a micro-amp and speaker in it.


There must be something better, but I don't want spend big buck$ on something for my dusty shop when the bean can sounds fine. I do need some headphones for my afternoon walks.

Good times. I wasn't there in '88, I was in '89. *1990.    I've had some good ones since then too, but those were the formative years for me and those guys were gods of strings. This was right after Béla's "Drive" album came out, and a major course change for me musically speaking...


I'll post the Drive Playlist, it's this group, but with Mark Schatz on bass, and Stuart Duncan joining Mark O'Connor on fiddle. It's one of those records I just play all the way through... no hitting the next track.
