Haha thanks Ray. The sad thing is I gotta take her to see this guy in March. Sad for me. It's gonna be tough. I took her to see some other acoustic wimpy singer/songwriter guy named Damien Rice about a year ago and it was brutal. I'd never been to a show where you just sat there in absolute silence and listened to people sniff and cough while a musician is performing. One lady sitting next to my wife was so moved she was literally eating her hair. I kid you not - this grown fucking woman was crying and eating her fucking hair. I guess it's a win for Damien Rice to fill a place with superfan crying hair eaters, but goddamn....rayc wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2017 10:55 pm I had to look up the song & singer on Utub as I'd not heard it or of it. I'm glad you did this recording as it wiped the tripe from my ears. it's an appalling song and his performance is possibly worse than the song.
You do the 6 string banjo well.
I like the indie punk folk sound but even your skills can't disguise the rubbish that the song is.
Thanks man. Do those qualify as guitar solos?
Take beer with you. I was taken to an old folkie gig a few weeks ago. Drank lots of beer.Greg_L wrote: ↑Fri Feb 03, 2017 7:51 amHaha thanks Ray.

It's all quite different from punk rock show.

The banjo is actually a guitarjo/banjitar. A Banjo body and build but with a guitar neck on it. Plays like a guitar, sounds like a banjo. It's fun to play. I play guitar style with a regular pick, but if you work it right you can make it sound close enough to some rolling hillbilly finger picking.
That's not good for me. Besides just hating the music, these folkie gigs are too quiet and intimate. It makes me uncomfortable. I hate the people. I hate the quiet hair eating. I hate the dumb emotional intimacy these people have with some lamefuck hipster with an acoustic guitar. I hate it all. It's all so foreign to me. It's a bizarro kind of power and energy that I can't relate to. If it didn't make my wife happy I'd never in a million years attend one of these fucking things. I'm fucking pissed just typing about it.
haha, Greg, have you watched WestWorld on HBO? You'd love it.
It's very funny you'd say that because at the Damien Rice show the woman of the couple sitting behind my wife and me whispered to her male companion "This guy is an emotionless animal"....referring to me because I just sat there like a lump. I didn't clap or cry or eat my hair, so I was an emotionless animal. I didn't hear her say this, not that she's wrong, I am indeed an emotionless animal, but had I heard it the show would have gotten a lot more exciting. My wife heard it and turned around and shot her a look. They got up and moved somewhere else. I had no idea what was going on until afterwards. I saw my wife glare at these people, but didn't know why. I just figured she had whatever it was handled. She told me about it afterwards. I was mad that she didn't tell me right away, but also amused by the whole thing and she knows what would have happened. She's a lot like me in that she doesn't like those people, but she likes that shit music. I would have ruined the fuck out of the whole night if I'd known.
I wouldn't know. I've never seen Pennywise.
LOL! And that was just the men.
