Ah, so those bits are called the shoulders then. I always thought they were more like bum cheeks, the shoulders being the bit where cutaways often reside, the...
Looked out the booklet to the Sounds of the South box set. In one photo, Mr. Lomax is holding a black thing with rounded ends (the recorder, I believe), which...
Hey Richard, if you go on this site there are some great photos. In most of the earlier Lomax shots it looks like he`s using an Altec ribbon mic. The party...
Gosh, imagine how good those recordings could have been if he had access to some decent, modern equipment… And if only Julia Margaret Cameron could have had...
I'm sure current equipment of a similar equivalent current day price, with the same mic positioning, same environment etc would yield equally pleasant results...
You play a Kay with a pick-up? Like Elmore's playing in that photograph? How does it sound? My very first guitar was a Kay. But I didn't have it for long...

Same pickup as Elmore's, different guitar. Richard O'Donnell who plays in Mud In Your Ear with Allan Jones has the whole Elmore kit, same model Kay including...
The Robert Johnson recordings are not the best quality and even though it would be hard to imagine them any other way now, I think he would have sounded just...
, but when I plug it into my wee Fender Pro Jr it sounds pretty cool through the pickup - exactly the kind of thing I was aiming for, reminiscent of early...
Thanks for the LOC link Alec, I need to spend some time in there - remember thinking the same thing several years back! If Robert Johnson was recorded with...
When I find myself with some spare dosh, I'd like something smaller. Dunc uses a Pro Jr for his guitar at gigs and recording, and I use one for my harp, but...
If you can find a `56 Supro amp ( little red thing ) with an Astatic T-3 harp mic ( controlled reluctance ) the combo is old and blue. .........Alec...
Those Lomax '59 sessions sound nice and natural for delta blues, but much later than that and I think they tended to use too many mic's and gadgets - I like...

Couldn't get your "jeetar" mp3 to load, Richard. I went to the Boogaloo site to try to access it there but ended up listening to the Radio Scotland broadcast....
Hi Ronnie, there isn't a link to the thing on the site, I just stuffed it up there. Try http://www.boogalooinvestigators.co.uk/jeetar.mp3 instead, the m3u...
