Quote from: David Houck on October 15, 2026, 10:52:48 AMHere's one I've looked at online two or three times recently; it's local and way out of my price range and my ability to play.

Here's one that the player, who works at that same store, thinks is the best guitar he's ever played; and I think sounds pretty good.
...

It's a Ken Walker.  The notes below the video are pretty interesting, and include remarks from Ken Walker as well.  He worked for George Gruhn and Guild Guitars.

A trip to Dream Guitars would be very educational. Those folks aren't very far from you I don't think, probably an easy day trip. That Honduran rosewood guitar has some charm. 

Kim Walker has quite the reputation. I feel like we've discussed him somewhere here at the Club?

I'm pretty sure that the post Peter Green order is Kiln House, Future Games, then Bare Trees, etc.  I've listened to those three more than any of the others.

I must have glitched on Kiln House because it's one of my favorites. I also didn't realize until the other day on the anniversary of its release, there is some conjecture about whether or not Peter Green played guitar on this track from Tusk. Well... clearly he did. Here is the outtake.

How much of those parts made the album cut is up for listening and debate, but clearly he (Green) was in the sessions. *Interestingly, I've also read Buckingham played a white Alembic guitar here. There is a picture here somewhere of him with one but I've never seen him play it.

*found the picture of Buck with the Alembic, but don't know what the story is on it... looks like a Small Standard body, indeed could be white, a throwback to his Les Paul Custom maybe. 

Interesting, I've tried up loading a number of my Steely Dan and Donald fagen covers and most have been blocked straight after uploading and others were originally fine but later blocked.

Thanks! I agree, I have heard some P Bass sounds that were thin (though probably just as much the production values - I was a teenager in the'80s) - the F-2B played a big role in my bass journey!

Quote from: David Houck on October 15, 2026, 07:55:40 PMCool!  Nice fat tone, and nice playing!  Great tune; chord progression, sudden changes; had to go look up who played bass on the original; Chuck Rainey.  Think I'll go listen to the original now!

Aja is an amazing album - definitely check it out! The Wikipedia entry says people often used this album to check out hi-fi systems, the production is immaculate.

Quote from: DistillaMatto on October 15, 2026, 06:29:46 PMThe Who before the 1982 final tour (Which I saw them 3 times on expecting them never to tour again). On Substitute, John's bass is louder than Pete.

This is pretty good.  Some great shots of the Alembic; wish they would keep the camera on him a lot longer.  Bass sounds great even on this old video.

Just saw a shot of the keyboard player!  Only three songs in!

I enjoyed that; thanks for posting!

Don't think I've seen an all Spruce guitar before.

Quote from: David Houck on October 15, 2026, 03:01:25 PMToy Factory does Dead at DelFest - They Love Each Other

Oteil Burbridge - Bass, Lead Vocal
Sam Bush - Mandolin
Charlie Starr - Guitar, Harmony Vocal
Josh Shilling - Keyboards, Harmony Vocal
Marcus King - Pedal Steel
Paul T. Riddle - Drums

Also at DelFest: The Travelin' McCourys - Scarlet Begonias

Well, that was fun!  And I must say, I'm torn between whether I want Marcus's shirt or Charlie's jacket more.
Charlie wins hands down on facial hair & brim, though.
Also - does Ronnie McCoury have a totally bluegrass voice, or what?
But one has to wonder - Greg, I hereby declare that you can put together your dream band to play in; Ronnie or Sam?
(That the choice; we can maybe take up Sharon, Sierra, Sara, et al, at a later date.

Peter (who will be kind and sign off without comment on Marcus on pedal steel.........)
