Hi Robbie. I found a rip of Rainbow Thunder through Soulseek a few years ago now. It's in Ogg Vorbis format and quite high quality. (The music is pretty high...
I spotted the "Rainbow Thunder" LP on eBay and intended to bid on it myself if I could get it for a reasonable price. Unfortunately $213-50 falls outside my...
Wow, That's amazing, I had no idea those existed on the internet! The rip of Rainbow Thunder is very high quality indeed, except i'm having the usual...
Yes, $200+ was too much for me as well :( On the upside, my stupidly high bid probably meant that the guy (a German collector of psych lps etc) that got it in...
I have a Tascam CD recorder so it's fairly easy for me to connect my record deck to it and record - the only difficult bit is pressing the button in between...
Good Day, I am an independent filmmaker, and I've just made a short film that I'd like to use one of Robbie's songs in (from the "Guitar Soli" album). Any...
Hi Mark, I'm quite ignorant about this stuff, but I think that Concord now own the rights to Robbie Basho. Here are a few links to their site: A page on...
... Aye aye, it certainly is good stuff. You should be able to play oggs with any recent version of Winamp, 'out of the box'. ... Yeah, I've given it a lot of...
Hello, I've heard of "Bouquet" (1983) and of "Twilight Peaks" (1984) but never heard them, even more, never heard of anyone that has heard or seen anyone else...
I wonder too. Perhaps he was having a rough time with it. Here's reference to it in the Frets article: "You said once that you tend to think of the guitar as...
Hi Robbie, Thanks so much for the links! There seems to be such a complicated chain of ownership, that I didn't know where to begin, but now I do! I would...
Hello everyone. I am new to the forum. My name is Rich Osborn, and I live in Northern California. I knew Robbie back in the late 1960's through the mid-1970's;...

Hello Toni, I can¹t find it either. I¹ve sent Stephen at Vanguard a note about it. He made me a CDR copy as a favor some months ago, which is how I heard it....
Hello Glenn, it's also great to be in touch again. It's been quite a journey. I was excited when I read in earlier posts at the beginning of the forum that...

Greetings to all those who have joined the forum recently, and thanks especially to Rich for posting some really fascinating writing in the last few days. It's...
Hi Robbie, It's good to see you posting again. And thanks for taking a mild, non-judgmental attitude to my somewhat iconoclastic posting. Robbie had real...
I feel really lucky to have Rich¹s insights and reminiscences posted here! Something I question of what Rich said, though: would Basho have been better off...
It's great to make Glenn's acquaintance again. I waited until I could hear a couple of his more recent guitar albums, and as I told him, I was really happy to...
I forgot that I had wanted to add in my last post a comment about some of the great fusions in world music that have been occurring in the last 20 years. The...
