Hey George, I have a question about this. When he puts his right thumb on the low E while playing the higher strings, is he doing that to dampen the low E, or is it just to get leverage for his other fingers?

GEORGE: IMPORTANT You should watch this in its entirety:

Ahh, yes. And those guys were the mainstays of the Blues Brothers, too! But who's Mr Washington, I don't know who you mean? EDITEDITEDIT: AACKKKK...I just figured out what you mean, but it's Booker T. Jones, not Washington ;) B.T.W. was the black scholar that wrote Up From Slavery, etc, [I...

Booker T. the man himself! Green Onions, and Born Under a Bad Sign at 8:15. He also talks about the Hammond and what it can do. And a lovely guy, to boot.

But you know, the thing that really augments the sound of the Hammond is the Leslie cabinet with those spinning horn thingies inside it. The signature sound of the Hammond is those things spinning up to speed, and warbling the tone. What a sound! And you think those muthas are heavy? Those...

I'm surprised we haven't discussed the Wallflowers before. I thought we had, but a search tells me I was wrong, so here are some tunes for you: I like them a lot, and I like that they still consider a Hammond organ plus the Leslie cabinet to be an important instrument. The Hammond can't be...

Sometimes hip is... what it ain't ;) I like those guys too, George, always have!

I like the Wallflowers, especially the first and second albums. You can tell the apple didn't fall far from the tree with Jakob Dylan.

@George, this is for you: The incredibly talented Robben Ford. A master, but because he doesn't play 'popular music' isn't given enough credit. I've see him a number of times in NY and once in Austin, and he is absolutely fantastic. Here he is, playing the exact same guitar years earlier...

Lolz :) Whoever put that together deserves something. There will be one on Biden soon, he's a consummate master of the faux pas as well

George, you've got mail, check your inbox.

Is the email cl*****r1@a******mail.com? I've sent a note there; ping it back if it's correct

I see Phil Spector died yesterday. I have mixed feelings. He was undoubtedly a genius, creating the dominating sound in pop for a generation, but boy-oh-brother, did he screw his life up.

http://stick.com/instruments/railboard/ GAWD, I love this thing.

George, PM me your email address. I have something to send you, and I think any address I have for you is too old.

Fortunately, I have more sense than money. I won't be buying one any time soon ;)

I think it requires kind of a pianist's ability to work two musical lines with different hands. I don't think I can separate my brain like that, either. I always sucked on the piano. I am extremely impressed, perhaps obsessed with the sound of this thing. I stayed up late last night watching...

Rick's videos are excellent. Take some time and look through them for a lot of interesting insights. Last year he testified before Congress regarding intellectual property rights and how it applies to Internet videos on YouTube. His main opposition in the testimony was Don Henley, who sits on...

Lolz, it's probably the only thing I'm adequate at on quiz night at the pub ;)
