Buzzie’s “The Same Thing” from the El Ray Theater in Los Angels CA

Feb 27

Posted by jmacofearth in live shows | 1 Comment

With the encouragement of two dear friends, I have begun processing some of the video from the El Ray show, oh, a few years back. This is the first instalment. The sound is about a 6 out of 10. It was shot on the tiniest video cam I ever saw. Just a fan. He contacted me after the show and offered to send it to me from JAPAN. He did.

This is a gift back to David Bash who has been so awesome to invite Buzzie back to IPO again and again.

Here is the 2nd song in the IPO installment, “I want to know you”:

And also to my blip.fm friends @ladypn and @adamofdallas.

Three Guitars I Still Have Yet to Own

Aug 10

Posted by jmacofearth in live shows | 1 Comment

Watching a rerun of Wilco on Austin City Limits I got to see a very pretty Gibson 339 that Tweedy was playing. I longed for my Epiphone that I sold in some down moment. “Never sell a guitar.”

Picture 17

Gibson 339

I don’t know why I thought this would be an interesting post. But these are pretty focused guitars. And since I ain’t buying diddly squat during these low times I guess I figured that window shopping at Musician’s friend would be fun.

Here’s a long running desire. A Paul Reed Smith. The most balanced guitar made.

Picture 14

PRS - Paul Reed Smith

And finally the truly hybrid guitar by Godin. This one looks like a futuristic classical guitar but underneath are some electronics that translate guitar sounds into synthesizer sounds.

Picture 16

Godin hybrid Multiac.

And so with that I will confess to having 3 of the most wonderful guitars ever made.

  • A ’72 Les Paul Standard.
  • A mid-90′s American Standard Stratocaster (clear maple finish).
  • A Taylor 614 CE Acoustic.

I am still working up to the Taylor, and I assume I will be for the rest of my playin days.

Happy Dog Days of Summer Y’all.
