Arnold: This migration (rock ---> country) is hardly new. Elvis was essentially a country artist, given his gospel and hillbilly background, who was influenced...
Hi. as a lot of us know, to make some money doing gigs, you gotta be adaptable. I play jobs as a duo with two different guys, and they both are country...
Michael, I live in Middletown (which is between Wilmington and Dover). I'd love to come to the Delaware jam in the summer depending on my schedule. I missed...
Peter, You're right: To get more gigs you need be versatile. That's what I like about The Ventures...they can play any popular tune whether country, rock or...
Tell me about it, Kirk. When I was at Mosrite in 1993, friend Mike Tarno was also there, and he tried very hard to convince Loretta into building a Kurt Cobain...
I've been a fan of country music since the mid-50s when I first started listening to radio (my folks always played country). My observation is that country and...
Mike, It appears that boxed set is quite a rarity. I'll be sure to let you know if it shows up on eBay, (the best source of Japanese rarities I have found.) ...
The guy that insulted Gerry did it after the concert and was dunk. Stephen, you should take a winter holiday out here. The Sun is shining, it's warm but a ...
Thanks Doug, Be careful or I'll take you up on that sailboat deal. Haven't tried sailing but enjoy canoeing here. Yes B.C. is our "tropical paradise" during...
I have been listening to all the comments about country and rock and I have just read that Garth Brooks is half a million album sales away from beating Elvis'...
The original rock artists such as Bill Haley and the Comets were a country act and moved into rock as well. Duane Eddy is another example of a picker who...
A very very bad decision. Michel. Tell me about it, Kirk. When I was at Mosrite in 1993, friend Mike Tarno was also there, and he tried very hard to convince...
A couple of years ago I was back in Wichita, KS. I was staying at the Hyatt Regency and while I was there a Western Music Convention was going on. I decided...
Yeah, just like two of my bad decisions, passing up the chance to buy a new 63 Mosrite bound sunburst side-jack Ventures model new at a 30% discount and...
I was no fan of Cobain, but his Fender Jagstang became quite popular around here and it was hard to find one. I spotted one a year ago in a music store ($799...
Yeah. me too Gary. I have sold my 1961 Sunburt Fender Strat for an AMAZING $60.00 with include the original case. Does anyone here got a better deal in their...
Re: [undergroundfire2] NO-Expensive guitarsThat's one good thing about growing up a little later than some of you guys. I didn't start buying electric guitars...
Thats not so surprising, though, Ian. If you look at the biggest selling album of the '50's, it was Elvis's Chrismas Album and it was only a few million sold....
Michael, Apparently "Mosrite" and "bad decisions" seem to go together like "rock" and "roll". Kirk Bj. mp <mp50@...> wrote: A very very bad decision. ...
Ian, Actually, Garth was ahead of Elvis for awhile. Elvis pulled back ahead after his recent compilation releases. Perhaps that's the reason why Garth has...
Triva note: Sir Cliff Richard said 'Elvis has sold more records after his death than when he was alive". I think most performers like Cliff would rather rake...
If I remember rightly he was ahead even with a number of combined sales with the likes of Michael Jackson and Madonna, Keith. If the Chris Gaines c.d. hadn't...
I saw Garth live in London a number of years ago and I thought the act was great even without the fire and the high wire antics all copied from rock acts. A...
Stephen, I really enjoy Western Swing, maybe because it was on the radio so much when I was a pre-schooler in the '40's. Somehow, I find it very soothing. I ...
Yes, Nokie plays with the Light Crust Doughboys, and those are the CDs which are getting the Grammy nods for Nokie. LCD played Nokie's first festival, and they...
Del, I was hoping someone knew that Red Top (a great song) and others (as you mentioned) are Western Swing hits covered by The Ventures. I forgot about the...
I can't imagine a life without music. ~Del Since I have been both a photographer and a musician most of my life, I've often considered what it would be like to...
I'm sure I would enjoy Garth without the circus act. I once did gig at a private party as guitar playing Dr. Who complete with pyrotechnics, a robotic K9,...
Dave, I couldn't say it any better. I've lost enough hearing to know how precious it is. I only sleep a few hours so I wander through my home in the dark &...
