That was fun

I went to the Ritual Cafe open mike tonight. I decided to stick to serious songs. It worked out very nicely. I did

Ghosts - with the very wonderful Kyle Dean Patten on harmonica. More on him in a moment
Color Of Your Eyes - Nice relaxed version
Hides - A little abrupt, but nice.

Later on I had another short turn, at this point there was no one but musicians and employees of the place left. I started playing In Crosby Park and Kyle got an evil smile and pulled out a penny whistle. I gave up singing the song and he and I just played around it for a couple minutes. I asked him what it would take to get him on the CD when I record this. His reply

"a phone call"

cool ...

So how was your saturday ???

Yeah, I almost bought one of those back when Guitar center had them for $99. I'll probably wind up with one for my small amp, because they're cheap, disposable, and sound REALLY good. Not as good as the vintage Gibson I was drooling over, but better than most of its vintage competition.

I need SOMETHING to solve my problems, though. First, I need an amp that I can play with unamplified acoustic guitars and singers. Second, I need a reasonably low-volume recording amp.

I want a recording amp, or a Pod, for the studio. It's not going to happen this year though. (oh yeah, and a bass and a decent electric guitar ... and a good electric keyboard and ... and ...)
