'Caught TS's Ramblin' Rose gig last night (up till Wheel).
TS executed a total nail-age of tone on Stranger, and Estimated!
Nice, TS!
Overall great job, and great job to their stand in Bobby, Pete Bach (get well soon, Jon!).
Good gig you guys!
I thought eveybody played really well.

casey really doesn't fit the funk montage but the switch between sighned and casey is fantastic

I guess Bobby McGee is your token "Irish" tune ?

[pappypgh]

Good one, TJEDI!!

Check this out...

We're in the middle of "Big Boss Man," and PITT (U. of Pittsburgh) just finishes their big win against Georgetown for the Big East Championship. The place is screamin' right as Jill is singing, "You ain't so big...you just tall, that's just about all." CLASSIC.

[Tennessee Jedi]

How you taking to new git ?
You had a Strat before I think.
Having any problems adjusting ?
Weigh more ? Balanced good? You like how it sounds ?
Name that girl yet ?

Sickleberry Sue is my suggestion.
Keep posting - I'm bored here at work all week and the KIND has been slow.......

[pappypgh]

The new git is, indeed, Sickleberry. Haven't named her yet. The balance, weight, new fretboard width, tones, controls, EVERYTHING is just perfect. More than I expected it to be. SB MacDonald is the man and really hooked me up. Even the case is STUNNING.

I was thinking about naming her "Lydia", but not sure. I think it's a sexy, sultry name and her shape really is just that....but it just doesn't MEAN much...y'know????

[Tennessee Jedi]

Lydia,eh ?
You must like up town girls...
Me, I like hussys named Tricia...
Sounds like it means something to you ....
Anyway I figured thats why you hadnt been posting that much - the new git box.
Peace Pappy

I guess Bobby McGee is your token "Irish" tune ?

Except the McGee/Magee/McGehees are of Scottish MacGregor descent. The original form MacEagh or "Children of the Mist" came about during the early 17th century, when King James VI (James I of England) made it punishable by death to bear the MacGregor name, and the Glen Strae branch of the family were stripped of their ancient land holdings and driven to live as outlaws in the misty mountains of Argyll. "...where the spirits go now; Over the hills where the spirits fly, ooh.... I really don't know..."

[pappypgh]

Holyfuckinshit, TS, you got WAY too much time on your hands!!!

[betteroffdeadnc]

Pappypgh, Lydia reminds me of Peter Rowan's "Mad Lydia's Waltz" from Earth Opera's "Great American Eagle Tragedy" album. Wild song, great album.

Enjoy her!

[tigerstrat]

Holyfuckinshit, TS, you got WAY too much time on your hands!!!

Just some family history I researched about a year ago, after I found out that I would be passing along my heritage... and after I had exhausted all Grateful Dead-gear related topics!!

[mttourpro]

Lydia?! WhereTF did you come up with that lame name?

I think you should call her Curly Diesel.

Or, in honor of the end of the night at our last gig, maybe "little orphan annie"...

[pappypgh]

you are a dick
