  1. Buddy Guy's latest album, I Was Born to Play the Blues. Track 3 , Backup Mama. The entire album is killer!
  2. No. I never felt that I have ever written a song that was well crafted or articulate enough to evoke a deeply touching emotion. If you can then I actually admire that you can connect with your work in such a way because I have never been able to do that.
  3. Oh sure, never judge a book by its cover but until I pick up a guitar made with walnut and find that it sounds good, I don't like walnut. Actually, now that I think about it, every guitar made with walnut had the same unpleasant characteristics in the way they sounded.
  4. I don't know. It is purely a physical/emotional/cognitive response. I hear walnut, I dislike it. It is dry sounding but not in a pleasant way. I remember the first time I got to play a Jackson Browne. My bank account was weak at the knees I was so sure it was THE perfect guitar for me and it would coming home asap. I disliked it at first strum. I kept trying and trying to find the magic in it and the bottom line was that it is not the right guitar for me. I like maple, mahogany, and even rosewood in some cases but I do not like koa and walnut.
  5. The trick to all of this is to just buy the one that sounds best to you. I can be difficult and confusing going through the process the one that is best is the one you like the best. Personally, I do not like walnut, even in the Jackson Browne!!! I would not play it in a car. I would not play it in a bar. I have never cared for any guitar with walnut. I do love seeing so many great slope-shouldered, short-scaled Gibsons, at a lower price point.
