surely a tale best kept for a latter time when there is more time to reflect on Slipkids direct involvement (meaning lets see what other damaging photos he might have before spilling the beans! :rolleyes: )

Couple more than I'm about done.

Being a judge for the songwriters contest was a complicated process. One page of rules and guidelines and another page of about 8 catagories to judge on. You had to pay close attention.

Maybe.....again for those of us who travel without guitars, we use what is offered and are damn grateful that someone is willing to share.

BTW, did Jim (AJ) park that pickup in the photo below?



Didn't anyone tell him you Yanks drive on the wrong side of the road?

Location: 6 String Ranch		there were quite a few Ovations available. It just seems that these didn't make it to the Lady Fish. For Matt's show on Saturday night we intentionally had just two other guitars up there to keep switchover between people as quick as possible. There was the 08C-Series, CJ-41, and a Tak Opry.

Location: Scotland		There were around 9 acts just in the second half of the Saturday show, so keeping it simple and using the same guitars for everyone made my life a lot easier running the board. Matt used the 08 and everyone else used the CJ or Tak. But nothing is ever as simple as it seems. At one point the Tak started to sound like crap and I couldn't correct it at the board. Turned out that someone unfamiliar with the relatively complex cooltube preamp had mistaken the cooltube drive level for the output level and turned it down.

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains		Beal, you always have a smorgasboard of guitars available...it's an incredibly generous thing to do and it is really appreciated by those who travel (thanks to the restrictions imposed now on carry on's and not wanting to check a guitar...thats understood)as well as those who may want to try a guitar they have been wondering about...Since I drove I brought three Adamas w/me last year and they made the rounds as well... there definatly was no shortage of fine guitars available and I have no doubt that it was the same this year...
BTW, the Tak that Steve played when he and Temp accompanied me for the Wind song was one of the finest sounding guitars I've heard (of course the fact that Steve is a Monsta sure helped)...it cuts right though my '08C that Temp was playing and my 1688...not sure of the model but very nice...
I'd love to have a nice cool tube equipped model...one day...

Never heard it put so poetically. I'm going to be using that. Probably the next time I see Temp.

Location: Tennessee		Tone Def. My new stage name. Seems as if I was the next player of the GOO after whoever it was messed with the Cool Tube and flummoxed Paul at the board. I wasn't having any performance anxiety until I took my first strum, Matt winced and plucked a string, winced again, and Paul came running up from the board and said "you sound like shit". :rolleyes: It went downhill from there. ;)

Location: Scotland		Just to clarify, I said "The guitar sounds like shit" Bobbo's performance was as entertaining as ever. Just goes to prove, if it ain't broke don't fix it, and if you are unfamiliar with a piece of equipment that's working just fine, then leave it be. Neither myself or Matt were correcting tuning, we were trying to get the cooltube back to where it was when it sounded great.

As for the bed-linen references, I was extremely well-behaved throughout.

...except maybe for the open container in a motor vehicle. I'm sure (mostly) that was unintentional.

...of course, chugging half a beer in the Huddle House was a little naughty. Just a bit. But he was justified in that the waitress did ask him to get rid of it.

...but the joke about the kid with ADD was unforgivable...
