SC_Wannabe Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I stumbled across this guy's youtube channel and found a wealth of Gibson acoustic solo stuff. He plays several Gibsons solo singing style, so you can really get an idea of what a particular guitar sounds like. Not to mention that he has a great singing voice and plays the guitar well. Is this anyone here? Currently giving me gas for the J45 Donovan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max bananas from here Stop faffing about and ship me some of what you're smoking, old pal. :) I had occasion to share a stage, in a small restaurant. with Donavon, many years ago. I had booked him to do 2 shows on Wed. in my venue and he came into town on Tues. He had with him a tour manger and his step son (Brian Jones' biological child). We went for food and drinks and had much of both. At some point D asked if he could sit in with the entertainment. The soloist gave up his stage to D and I wound up singing harmony on Mellow Yellow and some other tune. We were very drunk and when I came off the stage, D's step son moved to head butt me and would've succeeded but for the tour manager blocking him and reminding the dope I was their benefactor. That kid was the first skin head I'd ever met. Would that he'd been the last. Anyway, all's well that ends well. This thread reminded me of that story. Ta.

Jesse_Dylan Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Why did Brian Jones' kid, i.e. Donovan's step-kid, try to headbutt you? Life sure is bizarre. Neat story though. Did you guys know Mellow Yellow was written when Donovan and John Lennon were looking through a newspaper and saw an ad for a banana-shaped vibrator? (Ya know, for women.) I would not believe it, except... the song is really fricking weird #1... and #2 Donovan is the one who said this, so... either it's true or he made it up. Love Donovan, but he is a strange dude. That re-issue guitar of his is a knock-out, though. Why doesn't Gibson use cherry sunburst on anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what a double-sided story there. Good share - take care Jesse, , , it seems you missed the mid-summer already semi-legendary Hurdy Gurdy roll - Turn on lightly http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/123461-donovan-influence-on-the-beatles/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse_Dylan Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Wow! I did miss all that! Some stuff in there I didn't know, some stuff I did. I would have enjoyed contributing. :P That must have been during my whole Hummingbird Acquisition Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
