Your top 20....

[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 Justice.

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

[ohmwrecker]

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.

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

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?

[Frank Dux]

He's in my top 10 if I had one. He was amazing.

Here's a little mix for ya. It can all be easily found.

Dock Boggs
Clarence Ashley
Jimmie Rodgers
The Carter Family
Frank Hutchison
The Callahan Brothers
Justice
Bayless Rose
Gene Autry...yep, he started out as a Jimmie Rodgers clone.
B.F. Shelton

Solid! My favorite of the Jimmie clones is Lefty Frizzell.

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.

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.

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]

A girl who borrowed mine put some Elixrs on it. Sounded OK but I shredded the coating pretty quickly after I got it back.

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

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 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 . . .
