    Bre sounds like your friends have had some real luck LOL Dave sorry to hear but for every door closed another opens. sounds like you are getting a better situation anyway. I did gig 131 for this year today. They asked me to take a position on the board of directors for next year, which I...

    I know it's not totally music, but I just got back from a bike tour. We have massive forest fires all over our province right now. I went up the west coast, cut across the interior, back down through the upper okanagan, to the west kottenays, then back through the south okanagan and valley. I...

    Want a laugh? Just a roland mobile cube up front and a vox soundbox mini pointed back. A few days before I hurt my right arm tendons and was wearing a wrist locking brace... dam thing drove me nuts. I had to do everything with my elbow. It's an original piece

    I don't even use amps anymore, though I am going to be playing bass in a trio coming up. Been a hectic while gigging for me. Done 121 shows this year so far phew. I did a 5 and a 4 saturday. I was sure glad to have some days off. I am taking my electric guitar at least for part next weekend. my...

    I am loving that Epiphone ES339. It just needed to have a few frets levelled. pickups sound good to me.

    It's funny reading about all the amps. I haven't used an amp in so long now it's crazy (I just had 4 pages of reading to catch up). I go direct to pa and I just ordered a new pre amp that has built in phantom power so I can use my clip on condensor. I have grown tired of chasing sound with my...

    Oh and I love 12 strings. I was actually going in the store to buy one when the Taylor popped out. It had just arrived that morning to the store. I was going to get the Taylor 12 string... The octave mandolin is sort of like a 12 string sound except it is unison pairs. Wanted Dead or Alive...

    I have looked at the zero frets but never owned one. I think the idea is awesome. This Tusq nut will be similar in properties to metal. super dense. I have one custom wound pickup on my electric mandolin with a push pull. Electrics are so easy to deal with when it comes to pick ups. I still...

    I like the flatter back of the necks. I discussed this with Tomy on Friday and showed him a few instruments here to explain. The Epiphone, Strat and Taylor are all like that... so my new instrument won't have a truss rod put in. The grain on quilted maple runs horizontal unlike other woods. this...

    I dig the second set but musical preference was the first 2 tracks. I was in a band that did crimson and beliew (we played addidas in heat hehe). I had honestly never even heard that stuff before. I was working with a couple drummers, they were friends. Alan brought over the Lone Rhinoceros...

    Thanks for sharing all this great stuff guys. I finally got to come back and listen to James' music... I was expecting the cult of personality to break out in the jam. funky stuff. and the videos were pretty cool too.

    I did an interesting gig tonight. It was a long table dinner. There were reps from MLA, corrections, etc as this was put on by a society that helps the helpless. I played a bit, then a group of 4 native men did a traditional song, then an elder (known him for a few years now, very softspoken...

    I ride a Yamaha Vstar Classic. It's an 1100cc v twin. 2 tone paint, running boards front and rear with rear extenders, fibreglass bags and trunks, windshield... This my fav pic. It was 30c in town at the base of this mountain. buddy riding with us said he was going to go swimming in the lake...

    My banjo now hangs on the wall to the right. I have a cd printer sitting there now with that little monitor on top. a 27 inch to the left. That's my mastering station. The laptop is on the desk beside the recorder and a 7 tray cd copier is under the recorder. Under desk 1 is a Yorkville kb amp...

    I have been a Strat guy most of my life but I am really loving this Epi es 339. the tap coil sure gives it a lot of sounds and when it's crunch time, it has more meat than the strat. Friday I am meeting with the builder of the new octave mandolin. I am so excited. He is coming here to discuss...

    I didn't watch the Shoals video yet, but I have it. We got into a movie about mma and side tracked... I have seen the Eagles documentary 3 times. Probably my fav band

    I have Musle SHoals cued up hehe. That will be tonight's entertainment. James while I don't normally use it, my harmonizer has auto tune. I had to sing while quite sick and tried it a while back at 20 percent. it helped with the missed notes and wasn't a noticeable change like the robotic sound...

    And that James, is why I play solo LOL... biggest drama I see is when some kid drops their ice cream or maybe a couple dogs get too close and have a bark off. I truly can't wait for Halloween again. The kids just go crazy seeing me in my Spiderman outfit. Most fun for me of the year I was only...
