I couldn't agree more. As a player of some year's standing the New Year's gig is usually the best paid, and most appreciated. I'm jealous - I just watched...
I rang in the new year with my best girl here. Brandi plays a very expressive piano, in a dramatic by-ear, improvised, un-studied style, she mostly plays...

Hi Lee, HNY ! Your mail interested me - for two reasons. One is your comment about Brandi's lack of sight. Whilst the many blind musicians in popular and...
I think the greatest attribute to being blind as a musician is focus. Someone spoke of Segovia's difficult teaching techniques. I recall when taking lessons...
Hi, Well, since we're talking about blind musicians, I just had to jump in on this one. I have been totally blind since birth, will be 55 years old in just...

Thanks for that "insight" into the way things work for you. I was hesitant to bring out the old cliché of "compensating for lack of one sense by a more...
Thanks Tom for confirming some of my limited instincts on the subject. As an adolescent, I volunteered, at my mother's urging, at our blind institute [seniors...

Hello Josh, Personally, I do not clean my guitars very frequently. However, a light rub with a soft, damp cloth along the top, body, and the back of the neck...
If the scratch is deep, or the finish is gone, I am afraid that you are going to have to use an abrasive agent, and more. And you are going to need to know...
Well nice to hear from you in the room Josh! Any scratches you may have, specially below the strings around the sound-hole is pretty normal. In fact it is a...
Great "conversation." My comments below. ... This is so true, I've also found. I practice sometimes to see how little finger & arm pressure I can get away with...

Thanks jimbo. That's the idea behind the drop of lacquer I described, it fills any deep scratch or even small dings. If the finish is gone, you re-finish....
Well if matter are this severe dismiss my earlier comments. One point of warning. Stewmac is an excellent source of supply of such things as advised, but- many...
How do you get liquids mailed to you in such places then? Certainly businesses in such countries require the shipment and transportation of liquids all the...
I'm talking about shipments in the mail from foreign countries. It is not a security thing. It's a chemical safety thing. The law is the law, and you do NOT...
