Mr. Hoffman, famous "visitors" to your site

Erin Gray!!! She was Hott on Buck Rogers....

Hey Ray,

 

b) Famous? I was once in an audience shot from a taping of Conan O'Brien because I happened to be sitting next to Andy Richter's dad. Bask in the glow of my supernova fame, Star-f--kers!!!

Ken-
I gotta tell you.... I nearly choked on my oatmeal reading this one. I've been laughing about this line for about 15 minutes! Thank you for causing a near death experience for me! I need to teach the dog the Heimlich maneuver in case this happens again.

She put me through puberty.

 

And so it is...at my mother's insistence. For whatever reason, she didn't want me known as 'junior' for the rest of my days. The initial's the same as my father's, but not the middle name. Something else I have to thank her for

I could have it legally changed, but my friends still delusionally into stereo, well, I don't want to alienate them too much...so I guess I'll keep it as is, happy as I am in both worlds.

steve,
this is a first,
but, i have to disagree.
keef recorded and performs start me up in open g.
in fact, his tele is only strung with 5 strings for this tuning
(he removes the low e string) just like a banjo.
it makes for easier chord voicings and a different tone
from standard tuning.
he uses this tuning and other open tunings (E, D) for most all stones stuff.
give it a try.
it's totally easy and fun!
btw steve, what axe are you currently slingin'?

Sorry to have to correct the esteemed host of this site (do I get penalized? , but Keith is in open G (remove the low string for true authentic Keith sound). First chord is barred straight across the fifth fret (C chord). Second chord the D string fingers at the seventh and B string at the 6th, while others stay at the 5th. That is the classic Keith chord, found in Brown Sugar and countless others. Next chord moves down to the third fret and does similar stuff. The occasional quick release to an open chord before the next chord really tightens the riff up.

Ron Wood is playing in regular tuning I believe. Starts with C note on the 5th string and goes down to the F on the low E.

Wow, that was more guitar stuff for an audiophile site than allowed! And yes, it is like Saturday Night's Allright. Kind of like the Raspberries 'Go All The Way' is like Brown Sugar.

 

Thanks. I realized after I posted, a newbie probably shouldn't start off with a disagreement. Bad etiquette. But you're right, 9 times out of 10 I play Keith's stuff in standard tuning anyway

 

I guess it's no problem for Keith to play alternate tunings in concert since he's afforded the luxury of changing guitars almost every song. Poor Chuck Leavell is the one who probably has to figure out what the exact chords are

 

I could be "Magic" Johnson in disguise

 

Oh, a wise guy!

 

Man, I hope Ray didn't see that Doors reunion thread...

 

Why not, I thought most everyone was right about their performance.

 

Good point, Mike, but I just hope he wasn't crushed by it. I mean, if I could talk to him right now, I'd let him down easy, y'know?

 

In my best Homer Simpson..."Mmmmm...Erin Grayyy...aaaaaagh"

 

Who, Steve?!?

Funny how you always turn up, as if on cue.

PS: Where's your SH frog? I miss him.....

 

In that case: SINGLE MIXES! SINGLE MIXES! SINGLE MIXES! SINGLE MIXES!

Single mixes Light My Fire!

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon now single mixes,
Can't you see, we all need 'em here,
We need 'them on those Ceee Deees!
Why don't you tell him what we said!

Hello,
We all want some sing-mixes here!

I know, don't quit my day job!

 

That'd be cool!
