Gawd, now I'm picturing you guys wearing bucket hats and mullets, singing "Always Have To Steal My Kisses From You..."

How the hell did you get from JJ Cale to that?

[Slowy]

Unlike electrics and all their accessories, a fine acoustic is not a toy and it won't cover up all those dodgy bits and rough edges. You think playing in a trio leaves you exposed, try playing a tune (not a song) on an acoustic. There is nowhere to hide at all.

If you're lucky enough to have a Lowden, it will cheerfully share all your weaknesses and imperfections with everyone within earshot. It might even make them louder just for fun. But play well and even to yourself, you will sound sublime.
About 20% of the time I'm playing mine, it sounds sublime. Those moments are a gift because I know for sure I'm doing it right.

Ok, I'm off now before the rain of last year's pedals and obsolete digital fx units start hurtling down on me.

Yes, you can assume that there’s a power supply on this island. One guitar, one amp and one pedal with price no barrier. You’re also allowed one album - what y’all choosing? I’ll start…

‘59 Les Paul
Dumble Overdrive Special
Vintage EHX Deluxe Memory Man

Gary Moore - Blues Alive

Full points for the album....

I'm all about hiding my dodgy bits and rough edges with max volume and overdrive. so fuck the Lowden

Don't forget, I have 9 amps.
I think

[Bg]

somehow I have amassed at least 10 and 2 bass rigs, a kemper as well as a veritable museum of digital pods and racks and 2 full range speakers in which to blast them through. I can piss way higher.


I just don't turn them on too often, as I like my neighbours and the missus, the 3hp dust extractor is enough.

2025 is the year of soundproofing just in case my fingers get well enough to play guitar at volume again

How the hell did you get from JJ Cale to that?

Hehehe. I think it was the picture of the guitar that brought a deeply suppressed image of a particularly despicably smug turn of the century beachy music phase come flooding back in a most unwelcome way.

Forgive me for the lack of punctuation. I had to get that sentence out before I retched.

Forgive me also, you slowy and Oleg, I can listen to you guys playing and singing for hours.

It’s just that mullet, moustache and bucket hat beach bum image that flashed up and ankle tapped an otherwise perfectly good day. (I know that’s not Ben Harper. I don’t need to remember the dude who I’m picturing)

You are forgiven. But you should write out 100 times: 'A Lowden should never be taken to the beach.'

In the programme for my kid's recent school performance, he was credited as "John Jackson"
