Sorry I'm late to your post here, galacticgirrrl... I think of your fellow Canadian, Randy Bachman, as an underrated rock talent despite his songwriting collaborations with Burton Cummings in the successful Guess Who: ...and his dual guitar collaborations with Blair Thornton with the successful Bachman-Turner Overdrive: Please see my "The Cry of The Fool" entry, which is a response to your Lost Bass Project post here, at your convenience... I am beyond late....  Still trying my utmost to get back to GI Joe  I don't know much about Heather btw Her husband is a big corporate raider so not a big fan I believe he just arranged for them to buy back the company at twice the value Nor do I, galacticgirrrl: I followed Norma Shearer down some Canadian rabbit hole, and there she was!! Your first gif found me thinking that Alice and the White Rabbit were playing hide-and-go-seek with the Gunslinger on Harold Lloyd's once estate:  |

Your first gif found me thinking that Alice and the White Rabbit were playing hide-and-go-seek with the Gunslinger on Harold Lloyd's once estate: The little house that Harold built for his daughter does look right out of Alice  I wonder if Harold could really play guitar - before or after his accident? And further down....is Norma playing a lute or going trout fishing?   |

And further down....is Norma playing a lute or going trout fishing? Wow: an awesome example of Storybook!! It reminded me of The Witch's House - first erected in Culver City and then relocated to Beverly Hills, galacticgirrrl:   Thought of Django Reinhardt after his accident which, in turn, got me thinking of Tony Iommi after his accident: Air lute, galacticgirrrl?? Of Norma and music, she's said to have played piano to silent screenings while eschewing the opinions of the Griffiths and Ziegfelds... |

What a beautiful dream to conjur....lovely ethereal music and maybe a little tittle tattle. Strange - I just saw that Witch's House on a blog but I was too afraid to read about it. It looked a little TOO creepy. Have you visited the creation? I did attend upon the Winchester mansion which was fabulously bonkers. Let us not forget about Les Paul on our musical injuries list. |

So many guitars, so little time....
And I cannot move on from Jane without a brimful of Asher now that Sir Paul's bass is back (to where it once belonged)
The Recording Academy Announces 2024 Special Merit Award & Lifetime Achievement Award Honorees
Peter Asher’s career began in 1964 as one-half of Peter & Gordon, whose “A World Without Love” topped the charts worldwide. Nine more Top 20 hits followed before Asher became head of A&R for the Beatles’ Apple Records in 1968, and discovered, produced and managed James Taylor; later adding Linda Ronstadt, Neil Diamond, 10,000 Maniacs, Cher, Diana Ross, Kenny Loggins, Bonnie Raitt, Robin Williams, Stevie Nicks, Lyle Lovett, Morrissey, Steve Martin & Edie Brickell, Ed Sheeran, and more to his roster. Asher won the GRAMMY for Producer Of The Year in both 1977 and 1989. He hosts a hit radio show “From Me To You” on Sirius XM and is much in demand not only in the studio but as a performer, speaker and author.

I feel something virtually akin to what a fellow Canadian of yours might have experienced, galacticgirrrl: puck-dumping in order to tire Bobby Orr who gave constant chase. |

Just got back from the California Central Coast Jazz Guitar workshop. 2 days of workshops for want-a-be jazz guitarist like myself.
The workshops were during the day with a nightly concert by the teachers. Meet some very nice fell players and the vibes were great.
This was the first year and thus there were some kinks (and I don't mean Ray Davies), but I did learn a lot.

Do you have a particular favorite jazz guitarist - one that you listen to more than the others? George Benson? Charlie Christian? Pat Metheny? |

I thought of David Gilmour as I was paging down the large black 'n' white image... I think of Terry Kath as scary but don't want to give away the film, which is the reason, just in case someone reading this is oblivious to it. (It's a SPOILER ALERT.) |

Jeff BLOW by BLOW Beck is one of 'em, right, jamesjazzguitar? I'd already thought of posting the following for you, jamesjazzguitar, before reading about the workshop, and for you, galacticgirrrl: faroutmagazine.co.uk/guitarist-jeff-beck-called-a-weirdo/ |

Do you have a particular favorite jazz guitarist - one that you listen to more than the others? George Benson? Charlie Christian? Pat Metheny? I lean towards those that came up during the 50s like Barney Kessell, Jimmy Raney and Tal Farlow. George Benson's album Body Talk was the one that got me into this style of music. |

I took a workshop with Bruce Forman who has Barney's guitar. This guitar can be seen on a few episodes of Perry Mason (those featuring Bobby Troup). |
