BluesKing777 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Some acoustic blues played on my J50 - I called it Curfew Blues because.....we are still under 9pm Covid Curfew! BluesKing777. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Smooth, clean, and sexy. No, not you! The song. I've had a personal 8PM curfew for 10 yrs. It keeps the riffraff away. Good to hear from you. It's been a while. I was wondering. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 Thanks JZ! We will take smooth, clean and sexy anytime! The big bug virus exploded here again a few months back, after we all thought we got rid of it and we have been in lockdown and curfew since. So from having the whole suburb almost to myself during the week, every house in the area is full and jumping. Very noisy. But I had a rare quiet moment earlier after a practice, and pressed record for the track above...not a lot of thought, just played it. BluesKing777.

Twang Gang Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Good playing as always. Often the best comes without a lot of preparation and instead just playing what you feel in the moment. A little curious about the curfew. Does the virus get stronger after 9:00 PM and thus more easily transferred from one to another? Doesn't seem logical. Wear a mask, stay distanced from one another, wash hands often etc. etc. but what difference does it make what time it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesKing777 Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Thanks Twang Gang and Kidblast! Yes, I was practicing with no intention of recording and then.......I did. Unrehearsed and in the moment. J50 is the 2002 I picked up at a pawn shop 18 months or so back and had revived! Someone did a relic job, maybe, or mistreated it badly, but ...it works good now!

Sigh. Embrace the art. Avoid commenting on the artist's preparation, please. Good art is good art. This is good art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesKing777 Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Curfew is cancelled and we can go certain places but not too far......No more 9pm to be home by. I will be taking the coast road for a spin at approximately 10 pm! Nice weather would be good, but I don’t care about the possible thunderstorm, going anyway. 😬 First live gig tickets with all the local bands sold out in seconds. BluesKing777.

jedzep Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Have fun, brutha! Me, I'm hoping they lock us down again this winter, so I can go back into my 'Walden Pond-ish' seclusion. I have a big renovation job up near the north end of Otsego Lake, which I'll milk for the entire winter, and only travel/work on sunny days to keep my fret hand usable. This will eventually freeze over, and be dotted with ice-fishing shacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesKing777 Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Thanks Rob! 2002 J50 from a pawn shop I bought a couple of years ago, that my luthier brought back to playability for me...someone either mistreated it or tried to relic it...but it got a tweak and a twist and new bone nut and saddle plus an Anthem pickup.

Previous owner may have been more concerned with making it look old, including the tea soaked nut and saddle, except it played horribly! The nut was just all wrong, saddle leaning over..... Now, new bone! Setup! (couple of years back). Make it easier on myself. BluesKing777. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
