I don't know much Frisell, but I saw him on his most recent tour back in March at the Flynn Theatre in Burlington and absolutely loved it. first time in my life that I've heard something that reminds me of Alivelectric. Speaking of, what Frisell album would anyone recommend that sort of has that so...

Can't see Brad's amp very well at all but his new guitar is nice. Some sort of a Guild Starfire maybe? Gotta love it when Marc and Brad have the matching instruments! Fender/fender was cool but Guild/Guild is even cooler. I just love my Guild acoustic! Oooh yeah, matching Starfires! Now I gotta go ...

I've got a Frogville sampler that has Thamusement's studio version of "Rubberball." Looks like the album title is "Never Settle for Less."

I'd love to see Obama/Clinton but Clinton/Obama would be a definite disappointment. I could stomach the former, not the latter. my distaste for Hillary has only been increased by the nasty primary. Agreed. It's looking more and more like she doesn't give a shit what happens to the party or the coun...

Lots of talk coming out of the Clinton camp this past week about a "dream ticket."

I'd love to see it.

Not because I think either of them is any great shakes, but because anything that increases the diversity (even if it's superficial) of the national electoral process is a good thing.

[quote="tyler]that slide guitarist was making some absolutely wild sounds. [/quote] Greg Leisz. He appears on a number of Frisells discs. Duet shows with just the two of them circulate and are transcendent. [quote="tyler]great fun, and I was reminded of Alivelectric at a few moments, which...

Even if the weather report calls for a 100% chance of molten lava pouring from the skies, you should go.

I was too tired and distracted to think to mention it last night, but another reason to check out Frisell is to discover an artist who was/is a MAJOR influence on the Slip and on Brad in particular. According to Marc, Frisell's work with Ginger Baker and Charlie Haden (the Ginger Baker Trio) is one ...

I just returned from seeing Frisell in NoHo.

I wouldn't say Frisell is God, but I would say that when God wants to hear great music, he puts on Frisell.
