The money is going where ELECTED people have decided to send it.
Right or wrong that what happens. I normally like Dan's posts but he
threw "poor people" in here and I never said that. If I had said or
implied a term, I would have used lazy. Lazy people can vote too and
if a blabber-mouth politician promises to give them everything they
need they'll vote for that "person."

"I want, I want, I want, and I and YOU to give it to me."

Unfortunately the "you" in that phrase has been ME for my entire
working life. I'm sick and tired of working 4 months a year to pay
taxes so lazy scumbags can collect food stamps and welfare for life,
and now are looking forward to free healthcare. Adding to the income
taxes, I pay abut 1,200 a year for the school part of the taxes just
for our cottage. Meanwhile the children of the fence hoppers are
getting an education on my dime. I don't want to even talk about my
Chicago tax bill.

What makes me really sick is we make too much money for our kids to
get college assistance. Sorry, but that's bullshit. Penalizing
someone who works hard, has some drive, and makes good decisions is
pretty ****ed up. But not as bad as rewarding laziness.

I'm not sure if that's always the case Greg. I'm certainly not rich,
but paid cash for our last home purchase. Living within your means
has an advantage. Living without paying interest is even better.

i don't know why peebles never seems to get any ink. great set of
pipes.

i was talking to a member of a local band after they did 'i'm gonna
tear your playhouse down,' and i asked if they did any other ann
peebles stuff.

'ann peebles?'

'you know, 'i'm gonna tear your play house down'?'

'oh. i thought that was a graham parker song.'

Most of those shows are the best you'll see. I saw the Goo Goo Dolls
(before they were mainstream) in a tiny little venue and they were
great. A few years later I saw them at the Mecca in Milwaukee. They
were nowhere near as good.

i think barrooms are a more relaxed venue than a rock 'n' roll show
for musicians. or maybe it's just me that's more relaxed.

i was in my favorite dive not too long ago, and this woman (possibly
drunk) kept yelling out 'mustang sally,' which seemed to irritate the
front man for some reason. he finally said o.k., and they launched
into a reggaefied version, which was actually pretty funny. but it
seemed to satisfy the lady.

I went to a bar-room a few years ago to see a band doing "Irish
Country" I had no clue what that was and neither did anyone else.
They had plywood pads they sang from and stomped their cowboy boots
on. We sat, and ate at the bar about 25 ft. from the "stage."
Probably one of the top 5 performances I've ever seen. After the show
they were asking for directions to get to the next gig they had in
Iowa. The whole evening was a very good time.

The Plain White T's have made it to the big time now, but I saw them
do a show for a crowd of just over a hundred. It was the biggest show
they'd done at the time. The show was awesome. I hear now the shows
are more mainstream and they no longer have the raw rock-n-roll sound
they had before. Oh well, as least I saw the real deal. Many groups
and artists lose their appeal to me when they become so big. The
Bodeans come to mind.

Irish country isn't real big here in Chicago. Unless you've got

it's also fun to see musicians who haven't played together much. one
local guitar hero, bill kirchen (formerly with the commander cody and
the lost planet airmen), is fond of saying to pickup players something
like, 'it's in g, d, and then e. don't worry, it practically plays
itself.'

another guy in a band i see often likes to turn to the drummer and
say, 'it's in e.'

It's obvious that you don't know much about percussion. When the rest
of the band plays in "E", the drummer plays in "E#".

the very same. he often plays it live, a kind of medley version
interpolated with licks from link wray, b.b. king, albert king,
freddy king, jimi hendrix, roy orbison, johnny rivers, duane eddy -
hell, just about every guitarist you can think of. it's a hoot. i

I bet that was hot, although I never thought of Roy Obison as a guitarist.

I've always appreciated the more obscure guitarists. One of the best
performances I ever witnessed was a Koko Taylor show when her two
guitarists started head-cutting each other. I think it was Chris Johnson
and Eddie King, but I can't say for sure. Man, it was smokin! and you could
feel the tension building as they dueled, specially on the dance floor where
there was an uncharacteristic mix of out of town blacks and local whites in
this intimate jam packed yuppie blues club. It was a palpable thing, like a
building electrical charge, that grew and grew and you could feel it coming.
Sure enough, just when the cutting expedition reached its peak, a fight
erupted on the dance floor right in front of the stage that killed the
playing and broke the tension. Whew! What a performance. Those two
guitarists were jaw dropping.

White rap. (laugh) I got stuck in a misery of a traffic jam one day
and put on that 70s decade XM station. Amusing stuff. I didn't
roll down the windows so everyone could hear my Hot Rod Lincoln.

that's the one. it was a minor hit for one charlie ryan (and i think
another old rockabilly guy) before cody did his slightly more manic
version. good song.

watching two good guitarists trading licks is always a blast, even if
it's not a cutting contest. this one band i see, sometimes the guitar
player gets into it with the sax man.

The price of my I Can't Believe It's Not Butter tub just jumped from
$2.49 to $3.09 since yesterday. That's more than a 24% increase.
Crazy. I'm scared of the dairy section at this point.

<snip>

Although not "obscure," Richard Thompson isn't particularly well
known, but he is the most awesome guitarist I have ever seen/heard.
Besides really loving his music - his *lyrics* are also wonderfully
artful and literate - it has been a huge treat to catch the rare
performance here in SoCal (he lives in Santa Monica, IIRC). He
occasionally performs at Humphreys by the Bay in Sandy Eggo and the
Coach House in San Juan Capistrano. What is the most amazing about
watching this guy in concert is his *fingering*!! He literally has 5
fingers on his right hand that are doing very independent things from
each other. Very, very weird to watch, but the result is some awesome
guitar.

We played a couple of his songs on the DVD for the kids one Christmas
and asked them how many guitars there were. Only one was close when
she said, "two."

One critic said Eric Clapton has his "guitar title" only b/c he has a
better publicist.

He's often at the annual "Hardly Strictly Bluegrass" free festival
in San Francisoc.

I agree he's an impressive guitarist and great songwriter.

To add one on to the list of great, under-appreciated guitarists:
Bill Kirchen.

Arg! That should teach me to post before reading the beginning
of the thread!

Kirchen performed this past Sunday in San Francisco. He's
way talented, and a total trooper.

I admit that my favorite guitar picker, Bryan Sutton,
(http://www.bryansutton.com/ ) is obscure but is so very talented. He plays
a wide variety of instruments but his flat picking acoustic guitar is his
trademark. I may be a bit biased since we grew up together and he often
played in church with his sister who is a fiddle player and his Dad who
plays multiple instruments. He cut his chops playing at the folk festivals
we clogged at and became an amazing artist. He is one of those people who
was born to make music, not just play, but make music.

He lives in Nashville now and is apparently in great demand on the albums of
many big names. When he is home in the mountains he still plays at church
with his family. When he is just sitting down and flowing with his guitar it
is like he there is no line between him and the instrument. He is worth a
listen if you have never heard of him. His last album was all guitar duets
with his picking heroes and just plays like no one else I have heard.

'(down to) seeds and stems (again),'

like.

Me, too! I got into it when I was heavy into bluegrass back in the early
80s. I saw a group, Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers (which was really
Hot Rize incognito). Fun stuff.
