What type of instrument would you most benefit from having?
What area are you in? |

Location: Chicagoland | I live in the Chicago area. Elgin to be specific.
I have a little bit of music posted online. It's hard to find decent space for cheap (i.e free).

I set that up recently to use as a launching point to get some word spread locally. I'm going to put together some good recordings of my vocal songs as soon as I find a good drummer to work with.
Other than that, I don't have too much online. I can send files online, however, and share lyrics and such.
MWoody- I was mostly joking, but that Deacon 6-string is purty. :) |

Anyone have any spare Deacon parts? I have a Viper cooking and a PD on hold.
Now, the bodies are in the basement and the... attic... something about the attic... |

By the way....I didn't mean to hijack the thread. Kaki King is an inspiration, and a prime motivator getting my two little sisters involved in music. |

So you don't have a guitar of your own? |

| Kaki is awesome!!! Dave, she's an inspiration to us all, Shannon is trying to emulate a lot of her techniques. Doing pretty well at it.
Kaki does need an Ovation Solid Body tho...
Long May She Reign!!!
God Bless,

Location: Chicagoland | Well I don't literally own them. I've only just turned 17 this past month.
My strat and my celeberty are both technically my older brothers; however, he never got into playing guitar, and the Strat was stuck down in a basement for 6 years before I found it.
The Celeberty is newer. Last Christmas my brother wanted an aucostic guitar, but he didn't know how to play. I had been playing for a month or two by that time, so I went shopping with my mom to find a decent guitar for him. I fell in love with the Ovation. He didn't like the back.
My parents also loaned me the money to get a Preacher from 1Way ( he comes here every so often) for about 200 dollars, which I've since paid off.
I've been playing for a little over a year now. I also play bass in my churche's worship band, which is good fun if you've ever done it. |

Location: atlanta | Nice comment today on the Acoustic Guitar Magazine BBS by a semi-pro in California:
"I'm not a Carson Daly fan but recorded (good ole Tivo) Tuesday night's show (Wed. morning really) to see Kaki as the house band. She was great. Only had a drummer with her. The red Tele was on the stand. She was playing something that looked like a 335.
Kaki kept up with Carson when he was commenting and cracking jokes while talking to her. Nice to see her in a different "light".

Location: 6 String Ranch | Al De Meola has been playing PRS guitars ever since there was a PRS. I even suspected that he was one of the original investors in the company but that is TOTAL speculation on my part. |

| Had no idea - thought I'd seen the old 57 Les Paul since then, but my sense of time gets worse and worse as I get older.
Early this week somebody mentioned Dylan to me and I told them I'd seen him 3 or 4 years ago. It weas only later I realised it was before my 12 year old was born.
If he was a founding investor he's even richer than I thought he was. |

Location: atlanta | After viewing all three shows I'm happy to report that Kaki was able to perform with two of her Kaman electric guitars. (Couldn't play her Ovations though--they wanted electrics).
Most of the second and third shows featured her Gretsch SpectraSonic Baritone:

She used her Gretsch Electromatic lap steel in the third show:

In the first show she also played a 1967 ES-175 (a used vintage model she's had for about a year).
I thought she performed well, and her entire family is very, very proud of her.
Best to all--
Dave King |
