Duane Eddy, of Twangy Guitar fame, I remember listening to his records as a kid. Have Twangy Guitar-Will Travel and Twangy Guitar/Silky Strings got a lot of spins on the old Philco. Duane was 86.

Seth Lovers or AlNiCo II Pro. Never had or used either of the two you mentioned.

I sent another PM...

Driving home, I pulled this up after the Steely Dan.

I right clicked and chose "save link as", and it saved the MP3. It was properly uploaded. Looking at the levels, the vocal level was ok, maybe even a bit to the high side. I saw -1.9dB as highest peak. If you clip of the first couple of seconds of sound from the silent section, the room...

I thought I was in Guitar Center on a Saturday afternoon. Sorry, I don't understand the appeal. It's basically random noodling. Somebody might call it art, but not me. On the other hand, I've seen crazier stuff, like the artist who took $84000 and gave the museum this: At...

I love that era of the Earth Band.. Roaring Silence, Angel Station and Chance. GREAT albums. Chris Thompson is an excellent vocalist. Never saw the video tho. Thanks

I always wore a watch. For years, I had a cheapo Sharp digital watch. It had a stopwatch which I often used for timing things are work and an alarm for when I traveled. They ran about $15 or $20, and seemed to last forever on a battery. I still have two. When my first one was lost...

You mean like "Hey I worked this up from a fingerpicking exercise"..... Dust in the WInd. Or "We needed one more tune, and had worked on a song before we had to move to the hotel" ..... Smoke on the Water.

While Bill Lawrence has passed on, his wife and daughter are still running the business winding his pickups. https://www.wildepickups.com/

My daughter got one of these HP Elitebooks. It seems to a fairly nice machine, is Win11 capable. She wanted one that would work with her Thunderbolt G2 dock. As Folkcafe said, go 8th gen or better on the processors. It has a Thunderbolt 3 connector. I don't know of anyone who has tried...

In the 60s, people put out albums, but the record companies were always looking for that hit single. There were very few albums like Thriller that had 7 singles released. Some people would only buy the single they heard on the radio, others would get the whole vinyl album and might play...

Carl, I'm curious as to the end destination for your vocals. Are they recordings for yourself, something that you plan to sell, or live situations. The reason I ask is your comment about "I always EQ my stereos to cut treble and boost lows when listening to anything". If your recording...

Driving south for 300 miles, I had to listen to SOMETHING... I pulled up my Jeff Airplane from the USB stick. 2400 Fulton Street, Crown of Creation and After Bathing at Baxters made the time pass more enjoyably.

I'm a big David Crosby fan. He wrote (and did) some outstanding music.
