Fri, 20 April 2007  Hope everything is going well in your respective neck o' the woods. How is that local sports team? How's the weather? Now that we have dispensed with the pleasantries, it's time to get on to the music. I have some fun stuff queued up including a nice long How Many More Times by Led Zeppelin. Not only were they a great hard rock band but they can also be classified loosely as psychedelic and therefore are loosely eligible to be placed on this loosely listened to podcast. This podcast is going to be a lot of fun. I have some very obscure live Buffalo Springfield, some live Syd Barrett, and one of my favorite Doors tunes, The Soft Parade, again live. Enjoy it and I'll be putting together a Gong and Gong related podcast for next time. Some fun news to announce is that my old musical ball and chain Syd Satellite are moving forward with a reunion of sorts. We'll be playing some songs on an upcoming Syd Barrett tribute album, if we can get all the legal wrangling out of the way. Some goons have been sent to Los Angeles to fight with corporate goons over the particulars. Unfortunately, their goons were better and ours have returned all bloody and bruised. So, we'll have to go the non violent route, I suppose. Still, it was an exciting tidbit to learn that our old drummer will be tossing his kid into the trunk and making his way down to Birmingham to join in the fun. But, the question remains ... where will a group of guys our age be able to find mass amounts of hardcore narcotics??

.....The Zep thing was really neat! No one does the blues like Jimmy Page! Rock On!
.....My first guitar was a single-coil Fender strat, through a Marshall combo, and so, I'm all too familiar with microphonic squeal. Pagey seemed to have LOTS of trouble at the intro keeping his unit under control! This had to have been recorded during Page's telecaster years. Later, he switched pretty much to a Les Paul, which does not have the same feedback characteristics. On the other hand, the flat, jumbo Gibson fretboard is not as conductive to liquid, glassy-smooth, extreme bends, as the arched Fender neck is. This neck has largely been done away with these days, and it's a real shame. I started seriously shopping for a Telecaster a few months ago, and quickly came to the realization that my only option may be paying $5000 or more for a vintage instrument. To me, it's not a real Fender without that arched fingerboard and maple neck!
