i had a ticket to the cornell show but i couldn't be there. it was the the day my master's thesis was due at m.i.t., and my thesis advisor (now deceased) requested some last-minute changes. i couldn't finish in time to leave with my friends, so i had to give up my ticket. i was not pleased.

it snowed briefly in cambridge that afternoon, as i walked my manuscript down amherst alley to my thesis advisor's office. the next morning i learned that it had snowed in ithaca that night

my friends recorded the show on a portable sony cassette deck, a larger precursor of the famous tcd-5 (i seem to recall td-135, but that easily could be wrong). i heard the tape when my friends got back around six the next morning. it was an extraordinary show, climaxing in the most incredible morning dew that any of us had heard before, or that i've heard since. and now anyone can hear it!

thanks craig, for remembering the day

and thank you jerry. rest in peace

The Blue Steel makes an appearance in a jam with the Titan of the Telecaster, Bill Kirchen.

Kirchen's the man! What were the circumstances behind you and Kirchen jamming?

I've known Bill for a number of years. He was in the area for a gig, so I invited him to a party my wife and I threw for some friends. He graciously accepted! He sat in with our band, The Blonapartes, and then had me join his band for a tune as well. And, yes, Bill IS the man!

My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Bill on several occasions when he played here in Maryland. He is always very friendly and giving of his time to chat with fans.

I still have a CD he signed for Baby Kelly. My wife was pregnant at the time and we didn't know if we were having a boy or a girl.

Sorry to derail the Blue Steel thread. Very nice axe! I'm sure you are enjoying it!

Hi, all, Back after a long hiatus... Still diggin' my Blue Steel Tribute guitar, still have not played anything else that can touch it; it's true love! I found a company called Fennario Tie Dyes that does shirts with guitars of that shape... so I custom ordered one that celebrates my particular guitar. What do you think?

I was shopping for a tie yesterday and looked at a few by J. Garcia. I found one that came with this pin as a bonus. Yeah, I bought it! Unbelievable!
