And I believe he was trying to convey a message to you, Phil...

Location: Tennessee		I'm spinning the greatest hits right here ... 24/7 ... with no commercial interruptions.

Here's a good one for you. It is also from the MNO Vol. 3 disc, but it's here today in his memory. So no back story on this one.

His handle was tragocaster, and he was a very cool guy with a cool car, cool kids, and a great guitar sound. He was a local legend of blues guitar in and around Flushing, Michigan and made a great contribution to a lot of posts here. I was just getting to know him a bit through myspace and on here ... and suddenly last July he passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack. A terrible tragedy. Timothy Jon Lamb, rest in peace brother.

If you want to hear some of his other tunes, go to his mySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/timothyjonlamb .

Location: Tennessee		I wasn't going to put this up, but somehow the planets all aligned and this song is up next.

Unfortunately, it's done by yours truly. I didn't want to put any of my stuff up here, but two things converged on this. The first ... yesterday, kimby-d and I took #5 and his gf plus two dogs to Carmel for a romp on the beach and all of a sudden we were back to the scene where this song was written and named.



The second connection is that the song was recorded and mixed in one day from three takes on July 4th weekend, 2008. This song appeared on the Member's Night Out Vol. 3 CD.

Carmelo is my nod at the classic california surf genre I grew up with, and the song is named for the street I was on when I watched the social dynamics of the river beach at Carmel, which I tried to translate to a guitar soundscape.

The first take was the OFC I Guitar (miked, and also sent direct to the board in stereo), my son-in-law Chris playing the congas, and my son Max on the bass. I had two room mikes to try an capture an open "garage" kind of sound. I also did the vocal. The second take I put the electric guitar down, which was my Viper (I wish it had a trem) through a Fender ProReverb with a bit of reverb and delay, miked right in front of the speaker and also from across the room with a pencil condenser to try and capture some natural room reverb. Then the third take we added more percussion, Chris on maracas, Max on eggs, and I had the tambourine and the triangle.

Turn up the sound and go for a cruise.

Carmelo - stonebobbo

Happy 4th of July everyone ... whatever that means for you.

Bobbo... Please post your own stuff when you think it right.

Location: Right now?		Dave,

I LOVE it! Living directly off highway 35 and 1/8th of a mile from highway 36 (2nd jug handle off the GSP, towards the ocean), I can relate, haha! We all just sort of stay HOME in the summer, 'cause you can't even get from exit 117 to 114 for 45 minutes. July 4th is one of the worst ...

;)

Location: Tennessee		Well, thanks everyone for the kind words and support.

I had something else picked out for the next song, but Willa, you've inspired me.

Another song from the original Volume 1 of the Member's Night Out series, this fingerpicking instrumental is just about perfect for the end of a long holiday weekend, where you want to just kick back with your feet up, a cold one one one side and a warm friend on the other ... reflecting back on what a great time we just had. A beautiful piece from one of our european brethren, who I hope will find this and let us know how it came to be. So sit back and listen to:
