Hi Dennis. I've heard of the big balloon fest down there. The little Kansas town of Columbus, where I work & about 30 minutes from where I live, also has...
Ballots to select the 2009 inductees for the Kansas Music Hall of Fame went out by email today. I'm running a little behind on the snail mail ones. I had...
This is something we all know about the Shure SM-58. Don't miss it! Â http://createdigitalmusic.com/ 2007/10/24/ shure-sm58- mic-torture- tested-takes-...
I agree Beth! I am still using the same SM58 I took to Hawaii with me when the Red Dogs played Waikikii Beach in 1971. I use it every week and it still keeps...
Shure mics in general are the real deal. The SM58 sells for around $120 to $150...sometimes when specials run you can buy one for a little ofver$100...and...
Hi Bill and Fellow Kansonians, What a great list of performers. Never ceases to amaze me the great talent that sprouted from the rich Kansas soil. Lots of good...
Chet and all: I third the write-ins for Roger Walls. I had the pleasure of working with Roger in the '69-'70 Red Dogs and Central Standard Time after that....
Disclaimer: I collect microphones and I'm something of a snob. I will grant that the SM58 (as well as the 57) is durable. In addition, it's so familiar that...
I concur about Dana Cooper. He's also a long-time friend of mine and has made a serious impact on songwriting in Texas and in Nashville and has influenced many...
What are some of the less expensive ones you like? Beth Scalet www.bethscalet.com or www.cdbaby.com/scalet ************************* If you can talk, you can...
What about the ElectroVoice Endyme, the EN357 (for example)?<html><div><P><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" size=4>Chris Jones</FONT></P><P><FONT...
I always try to remain neutral about the Hall of Fame nominees since I'm the one who sends out the ballots and counts the returns. Since some voters are not...
Beth, Let me first say that I generally buy used microphones. There's not much point in buying a new dynamic microphone, because there isn't that much in them...
A group that has come close to being inducted in the past is back on the Kansas Music Hall of Fame ballot again this year. Conny & the Bellhops were from...
Hi Bill -- I'm still here, just kinda keep my comments to the SE Kansas groups, but i still read all the posts every day. Yeah the Bellhops were a great...

Conny & the Bellhops were probably the first band from SEK I remember. We guys from Chanute (an hour from Pittsburg, where I now live) used to drive over the...
I do think Gene is having a difficult time getting around. I saw him in Walmart awhile back & he was walking either with a cane or a walker. But, he still...

Andy and Beth,  The EV 857 in my opinion is a great mic. A bit higher priced than most want to pay and maybe not even still available (haven't checked...
