In mid-December, I noted in these pages a transcription of Ralph's solo on a 1976 recording, published on page 82 of the January Downbeat magazine (message ...
Hello, I wanted to say hi, my name is Chris and I've just joined this list. I'm 30 years old, and have been a fan, I guess, for about 10 years now. I remember...
Say, has anyone ever figured out any of the tunings that Ralph uses on his 12 string? I read the one interview that's linked from his website where he makes a...
Welcome-- always nice to hear from a younger RT fan :). I like all the ones you mention-- but also check out some of his latest stuff if you haven't like LOST...
<<I like all the ones you mention-- but also check out some of his latest stuff if you haven't like LOST & FOUND, ANTHEM, ANA, etc.>> Unfortunately, those ECM...
If you live in the US, why don't you check out www.deepdiscountcd.com? THey don't have all the towner titles (or all ECM), but they sell for $13.98 and that...
I find www.half.com to be much better (for the items that are available) than any of the other sources. It has used CDs and is US-based, as opposed to...
<<Amazon is a rip-off, price-wise, IMHO.>> Depends on how you look at it. Most of their stuff is cheaper than it is in any record or video store around here....
I haven't seen any transcription of Jamaica Stopover, however I believe it is a relatively easy piece, at least compared to other Towner pieces. There is for...
Anyone looking for ECM albums at a more reasonable price could contact New Note. Until Feb 29 you can order many 1970s albums (on CD) for 11.99 (pounds) each....
They may be cheaper than stores, but they are absolutely not cheaper than other american online sites, two in particular: www.deepdiscountcd.com and...
That's if you're in the UK or, I suppose, Europe...sadly, when you convert the pounds to Canadian $$, it's not as good a deal for me as buying them from US...
Ralph As an old, (really old,) barely adequate bass player/singer, who once or twice hired you as a break player for my trio at the Cathay in Eugene, Oregon, I...
Hey I don't know if Ralph will get this, but a really nice letter. I have great respect for your daughter Lauren too. I think one of the most interesting and...
<<Cduniverse who, with cheaper prices and roughly equivalent shipping to amazon, have a wider selection.>> Looking at CD Universe's shipping rates, from what I...
Well, I ordered a copy of Anthem from someone on Half.com. I recieved a confirmation e-mail from Half.com last night, so hopefully that'll be here within the...
Then you have to compare the box set price with shipping from cduniverse against amazon; obviously if amazon is cheaper go with it; but I stand with ...
Hi, Ralph uses more than one 12 string guitar in concert (usually two), with different tunings. Sometimes he tunes a whole step down from conventional tuning...
From an interview in Acoustic Guitar: "I don't write the tunings down. I usually tune the inside strings so that they're not in octaves or unisons. I leave the...
Hello, I tried to contact you 2 weeks ago. I asked you for sending me the MIDI Files of "The silence of a candle". I'm really intersested in those files. It's...
I got Anthem today. Only took five days for it to arrive, and it only cost me $11.00. Nice record, not as much 12 string as I would have liked, but still a...
Hello everyone It is imposible for me to by Ralph Towner's new book because I can not by it in my country, so I find some scores on Internet. These are Green...
