Scarlett Johasson, Tom waits and Michael Jackson are the only singers I want to give 3 shits about, and i only give shits about the other two because they're kind of associated with my goddess one way or another. Tom Waits covered some of my goddess's songs (falling down, anywhere i lay my head) and MJ kinda sounded like my goddess

I would imagine someone who holds Jimmie Rodgers in such high regard would probably already be familiar with most of those artists . . . wouldn't you?

[ohmwrecker]

Apparently you're not.

Where's your sense of humor?

[ohmwrecker]

Oh, Avante . . . I have a question for you. If I put Gram Parsons on my top 20, do I get to include the 2 Burrito Brothers lps and The Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo?

[Avante]

I would imagine someone who holds Jimmie Rodgers in such high regard would probably already be familiar with most of those artists . . . wouldn't you?

No not really. I knew about Rodgers long before I did Bayless Rose and Dick Justice.

[Avante]

Where's your sense of humor?

Where is yours?

[Avante]

Oh, Avante . . . I have a question for you. If I put Gram Parsons on my top 20, do I get to include the 2 Burrito Brothers lps and The Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo?

We can stop at Gram Parsons, top 20??????

[ohmwrecker]

No not really. I knew about Rodgers long before I did Bayless Rose and Dick Justice.

Probably everyone who knows about Bayless Rose and Dick Justice knew about Jimmie Rodgers first. He is a gateway to folk blues for a lot of people.

[ohmwrecker]

We can stop at Gram Parsons, top 20??????

Yeah, definitely . . . if I can include the aforementioned lps, plus The International Submarine band record. I think those, paired with the two solo records with Emmylou, is a pretty great collection of music.

[Avante]

You have no clue who those cats were, so why play that?

[Avante]

That's really the best you can do?

[ohmwrecker]

That's really the best you can do?

I didn't say that would be my number one . . . but in the top twenty? Sure. Also, I am just trying to get an idea about what the parameters are of this scenario. I need to know what all the rules are. Am I on an island?

Who you got tonight, Avante? Considering that you're on a Spurs forum I thought I'd get your pick seeing as that you've never talked basketball on this site...

[ohmwrecker]

I don't know . . . I just need more information. Where am I? Am I trapped? Can I move about freely? What's my environment like? am I alone? Are there other people? Animals? What am I doing for shelter? Is anyone going to find me? Can I do something else if I get bored? Is it going to be like this forever?

[ChumpDumper]

tbh I'd just rather have my guitar and try to figure out songs by memory. So I'd want plenty of extra strings.

[ohmwrecker]

I hate the way new strings sound though . . . I wish you could buy pre-worn stings . . . right when they are in that sweet spot.

[ChumpDumper]

I hate the way new strings sound though . . . I wish you could buy pre-worn stings . . . right when they are in that sweet spot.Mine end up sounding so dead, I can stand the pre-finger gunk brightness.

If I'm on an island I might want to consider wishing for a classical guitar.

[ohmwrecker]

If I'm on an island I might want to consider wishing for a classical guitar.

I'm sold on the D'addario phosphor bronze . . . they warm up quicker and stay sweet longer. I don't know if a classical guitar would hold up as well in a tropical climate . . . plus, the strings are a pain in the ass to change.

[ChumpDumper]

Those are what I just put on my acoustic. If I had enough strings, corrosion wouldn't matter I guess.

[ohmwrecker]

Yeah, I want to like those coated strings, but I just can't do it, man. They don't sound good.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, I want to like those coated strings, but I just can't do it, man. They don't sound good.A girl who borrowed mine put some Elixrs on it. Sounded OK but I shredded the coating pretty quickly after I got it back.

[TeyshaBlue]

I've got some 10 year old flatwounds on my bass. You can use them if you'd like.:lol

[ohmwrecker]

Bass strings last forever.

[ChumpDumper]

Bass strings last forever.Boiling roundwounds actually works for whatever reason, but I can afford new ones now.

[gameFACE]

I'm sold on the D'addario phosphor bronze . . . they warm up quicker and stay sweet longer..

I use the same strings and noticed the same thing. You get that metallic "Stratocaster through a Reverb amp" sound at first like all new strings but it doesn't last long.

[ohmwrecker]

Boiling strings will work in a pinch because bass strings have a much stronger core, but they go to shit after you do it. Good for an emergency situation though.

[ChumpDumper]

Boiling strings will work in a pinch because bass strings have a much stronger core, but they go to shit after you do it. Good for an emergency situation though.I had many pinches back then.

[ohmwrecker]

I use D'addario on my electrics too . . . if anyone here works for them and would like to send me some free ones . . .

[TeyshaBlue]

Boiling strings will work in a pinch because bass strings have a much stronger core, but they go to shit after you do it. Good for an emergency situation though.

If I were to restring my bass, the strings would cost more than I paid for the bass.:lol


It's an old Stella Harmony. Shitty bass....sounds great tho.

[TeyshaBlue]

It's really more along the lines of a bass-shaped object, tbh.

[ohmwrecker]

If I were to restring my bass, the strings would cost more than I paid for the bass.:lol

I've got a little Stella acoustic. I love that thing! It sounds fantastic.

Wake me when you nerds start talking about saxophone reeds.

[TeyshaBlue]

Wake me when you nerds start talking about saxophone reeds.

Vandoren #3 ftw!

[CuckingFunt]

Vandoren #3 ftw!

Always liked the 3.5, personally.

[TeyshaBlue]

I usually played a pretty open mouthpiece so I usually went with a 3. I would work down a 4 on occasion with some reed rush tho.

My fave was a Meyer 6, medium chamber but I owned a 9 wide. That fucker took some wind.

[TeyshaBlue]

You still have your horn,CF?

[CuckingFunt]

You still have your horn,CF?

I do, but I haven't even touched it in a couple years. And haven't played it seriously in far longer. Got too distracted by other interests.

I miss playing an instrument, though, so maybe I'll pick it back up when I have time again. Or maybe I'll start up instrument number five. Marimba has always seemed fun.

[TeyshaBlue]

I think marimba would be quite humbling for me.:lol
What do you play besides sax?

[CuckingFunt]

I think marimba would be quite humbling for me.:lol
What do you play besides sax?

Flute, violin, and kinda piano. Kept up with all of them for a long time, but sax is the only one I ever really gave a shit about. I always wanted to play instruments, but my elementary school didn't let girls play sax until sixth grade, so flute and violin were just me biding my time.

[ChumpDumper]

You can't even follow your own almanac list rules.

[ohmwrecker]

Um . . . We're talking about guitar strings and saxophone reeds now.

[TeyshaBlue]

Flute, violin, and kinda piano. Kept up with all of them for a long time, but sax is the only one I ever really gave a shit about. I always wanted to play instruments, but my elementary school didn't let girls play sax until sixth grade, so flute and violin were just me biding my time.

Interesting...those are very technically challenging instruments....I suppose the marimba would fall into that category as well. Shocked you haven't picked up the harp yet.:lol

[The Reckoning]

CF you can always play with my sax

[CuckingFunt]

Interesting...those are very technically challenging instruments....I suppose the marimba would fall into that category as well. Shocked you haven't picked up the harp yet.:lol

I think that's the reason I picked them, as well as the reason I didn't really give a shit about them. I enjoyed the technical challenge, but I didn't have a passion for them like I did saxophone.

[Avante]

Um . . . We're talking about guitar strings and saxophone reeds now.

That's cool, anything music related wll work.

My thing is mixing. Love to make my own little productions, not unlike a DJ programming his show, his own playlist.

This one would be....obscure prewar blues. While all that old stuff is obscure to Joe Public, these are obscure to even most music historians. All on the same CD.

Kid Cole
Bo Jones
Otis Harris
Arkansas Shorty
Slim Barton
Bobbie Cadillac
Seth Richards
Eli Framer
John D. Fox
Lane Hardin
Bobby Grant
Charles "Dad" Nelson
Elvie Thomas
Louisiana Johnny & Kid Beecher
Kid Brown
Pigmeat Terry
Geechie Wiley
Buster Johnson
Bluecoat Nelson
Bull City Red
Slim Duckett

......that is as low down, back in the alley as it can get, the absolute bottom of the barrell. It does not get anymore primitive.

Then there's Jim Thompkins and Freezone....both with just one song, yep, not even both sides of a record, just one song. Nobody having a clue who Freezone was.

Same with this guy. One of the many who were recorded in prison.
