Do you have a lounge/kitchen area? Food and drink only in that area. Your studio, your rules.

Sorry for the boast, but I have a credit on this album 🙂

Ah, sorry - your fault for making such a popular thread 😎

So sorry 😟

What's Johnson's excuse 🤔

This thread is now a bit too long to double check everything, but I'm sure neither of these are on here yet: Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - I Need You Love So Bad Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You

Peter managed to keep a little bit of magic in his playing in the early 2000s. I worked with him and @mybass on a couple of albums at that time, and, yes, it was hard work, but the flashes of brilliance were still there.

That'll be one Mr Edwards.

That's a shame. A.S.S. are decent promoters. Sadly, having seen John performing in his mid 80s, I don't think you missed much 😟

Two fabulous tracks from way back when. First up, a masterclass in duetting - Billy Eckstine and Sarah Vaughan, Passing Strangers. And another great Jazz singer, with one of her more popular, less Jazzy outings, but still a gorgeous track, Ella Fitzgerald, Ev'ry Time we Say Goodbye, complete with that fabulous line, 'but how strange the change from major to minor'

It's the accent on the 2 of the second bar that gets me. 3/4 can often sound so lumpy, but this makes it move beautifully.

Exceptional artist. Worked with some great players, producers and arrangers. Love the drums on Just a Little Loving from Dusty in Memphis. Probably overlooked for many years due to her personal life which is very sad.

Welcome to the very small club - thought I was the only member!

Its universal appeal crosses continents, age groups and social classes. I have no idea why this track in particular, but it just seems to have a powerful effect on a vast number of people.

Gmail email account, PayPal friends and family, you provide the PA - the signs are there...

Doesn't stop it from being great. I also nominated Careless Whisper which I've never liked.

I think there needs to be context here. Hotel California is a great track on a universal stage. Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City is a great Blues Rock track. Yes, the latter is subjective, but the former isn't 😏

Are the ones that your average networking punter has heard of any good at this? Guy Pratt has a very loyal audience for his chat shows, but many of your audience probably haven't heard of him. Are some of the tales now a bit out of touch with modern values? Apart from that, it sounds like a good idea.

I worked with him on the clip I posted, and even that 20 years was a bit of an ouch moment too!!

If you are in to your guitar based blues (or any derivative thereof) then tip your hat or raise a glass today to the amazing John Mayall who is 90 today. A little clip to enjoy from 20 years ago at his 70th Birthday celebration concert:

If another Genzler Magellan 350 comes up (one just sold on here) they are fabulous amps. There is also a Tech 21 VT500 in the for sale section. The Tech 21 pre-amp holds legendary status around these parts!

Difficult to judge from a forum post, and I know from your usual contributions on here that you come across well, but it looks like there may have been some lack of prior communication with this first band. You have worked with them before so may have thought you don't need to go through their expectations. When I went in with my last band we worked with the studio owner/producer to work out what we hoped to achieve on a modest budget. We took his advice and it worked brilliantly. Our guitarist even had time to do a couple of fabulous, unplanned overdubs. As for the OK/cool thing, I can see how that could be misinterpreted. I know it sounds daft, but how about coming up with a slightly more formal, neutral phrase to indicate the end of the recording? But yes, from my music shop experience, there are some clowns out there!

No, I remembered on the dog walk, it was another CCR track, Bad Moon Rising - plenty of bad weather in that one.

Simon & Garfunkel Live in Central Park did the same for me. Bridge Over Troubled Water must be on the great song list.

That Purple Chilli rig looks great. Big fan of my two 112 cabs.
