Re: Steely Dan, it's time for a talk.
I didn't realize how obsessed these guys were, wow takes all the fun out of playing for me. :lol: I know what you mean Mark. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm so dog gone perfect in every way I might drift into that sort of thinking. As it is I just wake up each morning thinking; "Oh, goody, anoth...

Re: Steely Dan, it's time for a talk.
The comments from McDonald about being more or less intimidated and "over matched" by the requirements these guys laid on him vocally were really eye opening. And then, to actually hear what he's talking about when they play his parts in the mix pretty much knocked me back. He's singing harmonies wi...

Here's one of our own's D types on tour with Jon Herington who has been the Steely Dan lead guy since 2000. Horrible audio but Funkleischous Brandon Montgomery built that amp right there. "Reeling in the years"

Steely Dan, it's time for a talk.
It's been a truly fine few days here. It all started, of course, last Saturday night with the Great Performances show with Fagen, Becker, and McDonald playing those old tunes. I dug out my old "A Decade of Steely Dan" album and it's taken a shit from the heat in my truck. Oh well, it's now on my tel...

Re: What're you listening to right now??
Yeah! Eff... Emm... No static at all! That is really great. If a bit of reminiscing is permitted....... Great post Phl. I suppose each generation....etc. My dad used to talk about shows in Boston and New York in the '40's. Charlie Barnett, The Count, The Duke. They said "Cherokee" used to drive the...

Re: What're you listening to right now??
Holy shit, listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GALqVg3biE . A 23 year old Bonnie Raitt, John Hammond, Freebo, and this guy Lowell George sitting in ("he's in a band called Little Feat") play a live show for WLIR radio in 1972. I had no idea she used to be able to sing like this. I was p...

Re: Just had a tube inserted into my eardrum yesterday
n So who did the ear molds? Costco won't do them and I've never checked elsewhere. I wonder if an MD type otologist or ENT can do ear molds?xtian wrote:I am digging my new in-ears from 1964ears. Took me years to justify the expense, but as you say, hearing.

Re: Just had a tube inserted into my eardrum yesterday
<snip> My wife has the same hearing loss and the audiologist says she only hears 50%. She has hearing aides but won't wear them, she says she hears noises like her hair rubbing on the aides. It's very frustrating to others<snip>. Bob, this is none of my business but I would lean on that young woman...

Re: Why I play guitar
Me and Zappa go way back. I saw him about a dozen times in various venues. I was introduced to the cult in college and never looked back. But that's not why I play guitar. I play guitar as a form of self abuse. I hate myself therefore I play. Most 13 year olds play better than me. It's just the way ...

Re: What're you listening to right now??
Not right now but last night I saw on the tube "Great Performances" with Boz Scaggs, Michael McDonald, and Donald Fagen. So I went on a U-tube tour of Steely Dan. I'm just never quite prepared for how good those guys were. Fagen's voice is weird but incredibly interesting and diverse. Fagen made a ...

Re: Just had a tube inserted into my eardrum yesterday
I have severe hearing loss in my left ear and profound loss in the right. You can hear 11Khz? You lucky bastard. In my case it's industrial noise damage and a pretty bad set of genes. My Dad and all of his siblings, 6 of them, had severe to profound hearing loss and only two had industrial or constr...

Thirty pounds of pain hanging around my neck. How about a 1/8th inch slab glued up to a balsa back?
