I am one of the lucky ones who first got to see Thompson with Farirport Convention on the 1970 tour. He may just be the best guitar player on the planet. But I am probably more excited about the Dixon & Jones show. Don Dixon has a very long history in music going back to the ate 1950s when he came up with the idea for the Echoplex which Mike Battles was ale to make into a reality. He then went on as a songwriter, singer, musician (bass) and producer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsharp Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I haven't heard anyone mention Fairport Convention in years. They were one of the groups I like listening to in the 70's when I was in college. I need to go through my albums and see if I have one that I can record digitally.

E-minor7 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Ooohh, , , thought for 3 seconds you were talking 'bout Gary's Guitars in Loveland Ohio. A treasure vault I'd more than like to visit. In fact would be the place to investigate if one wanted to pick the final vintage Gibson. Comparing the whole park, , , not least some short scale maple amberburst oldies. Heavenly acoustic lords, that guy has the inventory of dreams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesKing777 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Main thing I miss not working in the city anymore....Basement Discs for many years had free lunchtime concerts of solo artists that were travelling past on tours....one of the reasons I am a Lowden lover is...ha ha...going down the steps to the Basement and Richard Thompson played!!! Though I saw many artists there...across from the entrance in an arcade was a lunchtime type bakery with a swing out window and a long bar you could sit and eat at.....then waddle over to see some guitar players. Martin Simpson was superb another day! John Hammond played there one day, but I couldn’t get down the stairs for people everywhere! BluesKing777.

Pretty cool BK - I used to be in Cambridge and just going down to Harvard Sq to see the street musicians was pretty cool... never happened upon any big names, but there was a hole in the wall bar called Toad it was rumored Aerosmith would show up every once in awhile...
