Oh man. That guy was fantastic live, Jeff Gollub was makin all that good guitar noise. GREAT show back then. rct

She just did Both Sides Now on the Grammys, the way she's been doing it for quite some time now. Beautiful. rct

Why are "they" trying to kill everyone with diseases and vaccines for those diseases? rct

Who is "they"? Just curious. rct

It is coincidentally right under the heat generated by the friction of your picking arm. That heat causes condensation, the haze that you can see. It really is a thing that really does happen. rct

It is water vapor under the finish. It isn't good. You could return it, but they'd tell you I'm full of crap. It's water vapor under the finish. Something wasn't dry enough when it got painted. rct

ICONIC

I am really sorry to hear this. rct

Good thing you aren't touring. rct

They stripped right off for me and many others, two, maybe 3 or 4 gigs in. Grovers went on back then, still do for some of us. rct

Ebay, Reverb, somebody has one. Acoustic Guitar Forum, Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum, somebody knows where you can get one. There are a couple of companies that will make you whatever you want. If Gibson doesn't want to sell you one, eff 'em and give the money to someone else. rct

Like on a V? Ebay. rct

What more do you want? rct

I don't even want one of them there but after that I sure want one of them there. rct

The PortaSudios were great! I will go the computer way when I absolutely have to. rct

The Tascams are for people that don't want to use a DAW, for many reasons. Like me. Making a DP-32SD controllable over usb means making DAW software means managing and maintaining upgrades blah blah blah blah. Remember our TEAC/TASCAM 4 and 8 tracks? This idea is them today. Just as not perfect as they were, but if you have that workflow already, they are pretty much the same except for what comes out of the tape machine, which is an SD card. It doesn't need all the DAW nonsense, there is way too much of that stuff out there as it is. rct

I've used 2488, then 2488 Neo, and for the last 5 years or so DP-32SD. A good workflow that you get the hang of very quickly. Good stuff. rct

Close To The Edge once a month whether I need it or not! rct

I've been using a couple of them for a very long time now. 15 years I guess. rct

We'll have to go to the judges on this one, technically recorded in 1969, album not out until 1970, single not until 1971 when the show was on the television machine: rct

Right. There are no absolutes in most things in this world, but especially in guitars. rct

Happy New Year! Well, it's already January 5th or so in England, so a little late but, you know. rct
