Live in studio at one of our local stations. Playing thru Ceriatone 18 watt trem.
Couldn't crank the amp, so I goosed it with a Fulldrive. Yes you can play
country music with an 18 watt. In fact, it's preferrable.

I can see playing country with an 18 watt. BUT I didn't know you could play country with long hair? :wink: I am completely and totally kidding!

You guys sound great!

That's totally cool man!

Too bad channel 9 isn't independent anymore :(

I remember watching the North Stars on 9 when I was a kid. They always had great programming. What show were you guys on?

Bummer the N. Stars moved to Dallas. Lou Nanne still shows up on local radio to talk Hockey.

We weren't so much on a show, but they use the clips as bumpers on
the morning news. Apparently there's a few ex-rockers on staff &
they're pushing to get the station to promote local bands.

I would never have believed it, but I think you're right. Some great use of the C, G and D chords there BTW! :wink:

Didn't you know, the solos are the boring part. 8O And BTW isn't it about time they taught people to start "boping" *usefully*?? I mean they could hook them up to something, maybe to generate electricity for the amps, instead of letting all that movement go to waste.

Nice work, a tele works well with an 18w. And the key of G is always comforting to hear.

Because of my excellent taste in amplification!

Back to my solo bitching....

Ever notice how everyone else (Non-guitar players) wait for the solo to start talking about useless crap..... That drives ME NUTS!!!!

Theres Back in Black boping (usefuly) along.... come to the break... 3-2-1 ... the solo is about to start....!!!!! I't coming.... Then some dumb ass (usualy a loved one) will start talking about how the price of bread went up because of ethanol production....

OK, here's the one I love to hate. The guitarist launches into this awesome solo, which completely raises the spirit of the song, and the camera zooms onto the hands of the keyboard player or sometimes the bass. :twisted: It happens so many times I just can't believe it. Do all these camera men really have no idea at all which one the guitar is? :lol:

"Which camera is he on? 5 or 6?"
"OK not 6, fade to 5."
"Nope, not 5, fade to 4?"
"*(^% solo is over."
