I see things got very interesting whilst I was away!<br>By the way, I actually have certain guitars my wife won't let me get rid of!<br>Here's how I decide...
I think I've just found the perfect musical theme for TGR. It's called 'Tenor Guitar Stomp' and it's by one of my favourites, Clifford Hayes' Louisville ...
Ted,<br><br>I noticed that one too - it looks very nice indeed. It seems to be unusual, though, in that it has an arched top but a flat back. <br><br>Some of...
Couldn't agree more. IMHO Cal Smith is the most interesting tenor guitarist and unfairly overlooked.<br> If we want a motto to go with theme tune how about:' ...
Martin.<br><br>I'm glad you liked it and impressed that you know something about Cal Smith, who along with his brother Fred (presumably - they look alike!)...
Good point Steve.<br>"and it soon became difficult to tell the pigs from the humans."<br>David.<br>By the way Ted I still have not recieved your postal address...
Hi David,<br><br>Are you sure? I have two e-mail addresses listed for you and replyed to the mail that you sent. I will forward it again for. Where did the...
Hi Steve,<br><br>The interesting thing about that guitar is I'll bet anything that that instrument is not a TG-50. It's too early for that designation. You ...
I'm pretty sure Cal is the soloist on those tracks. I can't remember the detail but I once worked out with a discography and a process of elimination that it...
Ted,<br><br>Doesn't he also say it might be a TG 37 - whatever that is - because of the flat back? I haven't actually checked that designation out yet. You ...
Martin,<br><br>Thanks for the info - it's all fascinating stuff about these relatively little known but very talented guitarists/banjoists in that period when ...
Ted and Steve,<br>Gruhn's Guide lists 2 archtop acoustic tenors: the TG-50, introduced in 1934 (discontinued 1958), and the TG-7, available 1934-40. This ...
I keep reading here about tenor guitarists I've never heard of, but feel like I should have! Anyone interested in compiling a list of known tenor players of ...
Scatman Crothers is a new one on me. I agree that a list would be a good idea. How about name, dates(if known), bands played/recorded with, maybe a couple of...
Tom,<br><br>I tried to track down some Scatman Crothers recordings featuring the tenor guitar but he seems to have been involved in such a wide range of ...
Scatman was GREAT in The Shining-too bad about the axe!<br>He was such a wide ranging performer it's hard to track his stuff down. I have his biography-it ...
Gruhn's Guide is the most comprehensive info I've seen on a lot of stuff-I have the older version. Of course, he's not 100% (how could he be)-I have found ...
When I thought of the name Tenor Guitar Registry..I thought it would be a place where every tenor guitar player in the world who was on line...would register...
Mark,<br><br>You make some great points and I agree with all of them. However, I favour the idea of having a single reference point (rather than just a list of...
Hi Steve,<br><br>I had an office mate who was really into the Dixie Chicks and I always used to kid him about listening to them. His response would be "Dude,...
Ted,<br><br>Thanks for that, it explains what I saw - I couldn't really see the body of the instrument she was playing very clearly in the photograph. Is it a...
I get confused as to whether we are distinguishing between tenor guitars and four string guitars or simply calling all four string guitars tenors regardless of...
Tony,<br><br>I realise you are probably referring to which artists to consider as tenor guitar players rather than specifically the instrument they use and ...
Useful though the links page is ( I've just added one myself!) , it is not ideal for a listing of players. Some, Cal Smith for example, don't have a site worth...
On Joni Mitchell's web page, it is said that she played the baritone uke while she was in college. There is also a review of one of her earlier performances ...
