Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

My tastes always leaned toward 70s and 80s rock music. I'm the guy who changed stations on the radio frequently to find a tune I wanted to hear. Before I retired from my day job, I bought Sirius and found the variety refreshing. Still, I had half a dozen stations preset and bounced around during the day. My job put me in the car between calls, so I had a lot of freedom in my schedule and was able to listen in 30 minute increments as I traveled around.
SRV was a technical player with old school roots. One of my favorites is Lenny. We went to hear some friends Sunday night at the Wild Wings Cafe, which is in a local mall. The lead guitarist in the band is locally known for his participation in an Allman Bothers tribute band headed up by my cousin Tim Brooks. They still do a concert each fall where the price of admission is two or more canned goods for the local food banks. Kenny knocked me out with his rendition of SRV's Lenny, complete with all the harmonics and vibrato and behind the nut rakes. Next time I go see them, I'm taking a video camera.

The shuffle feature on an iPod type device is my absolute best friend!!
You should check out a guitarist named Lanny Cordolla. He was around back in the late 80s-90s. I don't think he's still "out there" so to speak, but he is a wonderful guitarist. His primary genre was more blues to rock...but if you dig SRV, you'd like him. He'd just as likely do some classical guitar and jazz as well. Listen for the picking. He did stuff that most famous guitarists would do by hammer on by picking. He's extremely fast and technical, but very musical as well. You'd like him.
This one starts out jazz guitar and goes to Steve Vai and back and forth...
Fast player with nice interplay in the scales, but I found myself listening to the bass man just as much! I'm sure Bassnut will appreciate the bass player's speed and articulation.
Here's one guy's choice for the top ten guitarists in the world. He could have done worse.

Here's our version (Pat's version) of Lenny segueing into and old Neil Young song. The recorded sound is a bit harsh.
LOL. Pat's trying to get me to do a solo near the end and I'm having no part of it. I hate doing bass solos.
Gotta get me a little snockered first, then I might.

He can hold his own with the best. I enjoyed the solo. I'm always intrigued by the Neal Young style licks (around 4:00-5:00). Neal was one of those players who frammed the heck out of a guitar and worked around one note at times, yet still managed to get some soul and feeling into the whole thing. He was intense, you have to give him that. I think it was Diamond Girl that got him the title of the author of the one note solo. He worked modal licks around the chord progression and made it sound interesting. The guy playing guitar is good, that's for sure. He could hold a place in most any famous band and could play most lead guitar players into a corner these days. You can tell that he learned his chops in the 70s and 80s.
A bass solo is one place where you can get away with slaps and plucks and show off a little. It's allowed ... don't be so hesitant to slap in small doses! I can't take it all night, but in a solo ... yeah! I like to hear a little show off time from the bassman.
I enjoyed that clip.

I really enjoyed that one bass, he is a very good player and also a good entertainer. (which isn't always the case)
I agree with Dave, nothing wrong with a little showing off your skills.
We've got some really talented players here.

This is a good friend of mine:
He is one of the most talented musicians I have ever had the pleasure of collaberating with..
(He did the composition recording and performance on that all by his lonesome!)

The blues is what started it all, and I think we need more of it. Betty Smith, Mhhhmm.
Maybe we should move this thread to the Outside.
Strong feelings and opinions.
Don't forget that we're talking about art. Everything is valid.
We may as well be talking about food. People like what they like.
You can't argue someone into liking a chopped liver sandwich on rye.

I like chopped liver sandwiches on rye with a slice of onion on it.
No, I'm not Jewish but I might have been a Jew in a past life.
I married one - the most sensible and least regrettable thing I ever did in my life.

I love the Pipes. Always have since I was a child...since I first heard them
I'm a wee bit of a Scotsman. Clan Ross.
It's soul music to my ears.
Bad Company - Free
We cover both Rock Steady and Stealer and of course the obligatory "bar band" rendition of All Right Now.
That's a must.
I love playing them.
All Right Now has some brilliant licks. It's one of the progressions I like to pull out of my back pocket for warmup exercises. Another one is Free Ride - Edgar Winter group.
If you enjoy people talking about weird licks in solos, here's a forum link to read.
Solos with recurrent wrong notes or wrong scale usage
The guy has an ear for the eclectic in composition, that's for sure. He would make a great movie song track composer. Glissando, echoes, tape reverse, he uses it all quite frequently. I think he and Hendrix would get along fine. Interesting track.
Ever heard the expression "less is more"?
Of course. Everybody has.
It's one of the most powerful tools in any communicator's/artist's arsenal.
