Blues Agent commented on Jud Hair's group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Levon was going to do another Ryman concert next month. I highly recommend the DVD of his 2008 "Ramble at the Ryman". There's some good guitar, including the brilliant Buddy Miller.
Every member of The Band was an exceptional…"

Blues Agent replied to John Robinson's discussion Roadmap to Becoming a Great Player in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Nerves and memory (lyrics)!!!.... After the campfire/living room, I think the local folk club or coffee house "open mike" is the best place to start. The folks are usually right with you, regardless. In a bar, you can lose audience…"
Blues Agent replied to J. D. Woods's discussion I've waited 45 years for this! in the group Old Folkies"I remember the late fifties, early sixties “folk revival” as a humongous piece of the musical pie. That, along with the “Hootenanny” craze, took scores of artists out of the coffee house and into the larger venues. Joan Baez,…"

Blues Agent replied to seagullS6's discussion Seagulls, humidity control, and guitar cases... in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"As a young "rebel rouser", I hauled my guitars all over the place... I never gave humidity a thought, I changed my strings when they broke, and cut folded paper for saddle shims. Now my music room looks like a guitar hotel/hospital/repair…"
Blues Agent replied to Tom Sanderson's discussion Some English Fingerpicking Guitar for you"The crow? sets a nice stage... I had a fleeting thought that Robert Plant was going to start singing somewhere along the line... so all in all, a very nice piece."
Blues Agent replied to seagullS6's discussion Seagulls, humidity control, and guitar cases... in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"If you do get a TRIC, I recommend the older regular case over the newer deluxe case, as the former has several locking latches while the more expensive model, with exterior padding, has a zipper and a velcro flap. I like the TRIC (older regular…"
Blues Agent replied to Peter Pauer's discussion Maritime and other Seagull models bridge pins. in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I agree that the saddle and its seat is where it's at."
Blues Agent replied to Peter Pauer's discussion Maritime and other Seagull models bridge pins. in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Right.... and a quicker string change also. I find it difficult to believe that whatever string vibration there is, between the saddle and the pin, will somehow have a better transfer to the wood because it is wedged in with a denser pin... or that…"
Blues Agent replied to Peter Pauer's discussion Maritime and other Seagull models bridge pins. in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"This bridge pin thing is starting to make me wonder if it is truth or hype. I simply cannot tell the difference with better pins. I do admit there is the placebo, warm fuzzy thing going on when the pins come in a nice package and cost three/four…"
