I would love to see him in concert. The way he does more than "just play." He makes it look easy, too. :rotflmao:

Good - - but again, not my cup of tea. But still they are amazing together, huh?

No doubt he's fantastic, but that was *so* 80's! (Not my cup of tea.)

Quite by accident I happened onto this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhR04kmcSXU absolutely FELL in love with it! I love the chord progressions, the picking, the melody, the rhythm... gosh! So I came here to see if anything had been mentioned of him and found this thread. Now I'm...

My votes are Ray Brown and John Clayton but both are acoustic/upright.

I understand what you're saying... I'm just using a Peavy microbass amp - - nothing super spectacular. I prefer my dad's amp - - I'll have to ask him what it is. He can get that amp to make my electric *almost* sound acoustic - - I mean, not exactly - - but you know - - it's got that rich...

I don't play guitar, but ... I *loved* my dad's old Gibson - - I can't tell you the model or anything, but it was made in the 40's. He gave it to my brother who only barely "tinkers" with it - - but back in the day, dad sounded like Joe Pass on that thing. *sighs* I remember being a kid...

I'm not a huge beer person - - I prefer wines or harder stuff ;) Althouh I rarely drink anymore - - age has made it less fun to drink anymore. However, I have some Newcastle Honey Brown I like and recently tried Michelob Ultra Amber and really liked it.

Congrats! My electric is a Fender Precision II. I can't really answer your questions - - but I have one for you ... ...any thoughts of playing any jazz tunes on it and if so - - what songs? I'm currently listening to Ray Brown on "That's All." :)

Sounds like a steal! I'd love to see a pic!

Sorry - - guess I shouldn't believe everything I read, then. Oh well.

I'm looking for it right now on www.allofmp3.com You'd like it.

Wow!! That is totally cool!!! Thanks so much!!

Thanks. In looking at it in more detail, I think that might be a little over my price range, but I'm finding some really neat mystery games online - - I think I might get him something like that. I may go ahead with the Bill Evans CD, too. Are you familiar with "Waltz for Debbie"? It's a...

Thanks for the link, Tone... however, I don't think he'd really want that. He's got a great amp that gives a variety of sounds and with the style jazz he plays, a person really doesn't need too many different sounds -- just a few, going from rhythm to solo and back ... y'know? As for the...

Okay, call me stupid: what's a POD? I thought that was what the aliens used to create hybrid babies in! I'm also thinking about a "mystery-type" computer game, if you [or others] have any ideas there.

But he uses his computer all of the time! He's *always* recording with it. That's why I had considered Cakewalk... ...I forgot: he also loves mysteries ... but buying him books is old. I've gotten him so many books and CDs in the past, it's not funny. Further, as for "new gear," he always...

Okay, say your dad is turning 80. He's a multi-talented jazz musician, albeit retired. He often records himself on piano, goes back and plays that back and plays guitar with it and then bass. I had considered getting him cakewalk, but I'm afraid it might be more complex than what he really...

I lost count of how many times I got goosebumps. I guess you all already know that Clapton was the only invited outside musician to ever record with the Beatles (and it was on that song).

I assume you mean my upright? It's a Palatino. It's impossible for me to rate it, as its the only upright I've ever played. However, my nephew loves it and he's played a few different kinds (and was trained classically by someone in our city's orchestra). My father has also played several in...
