Proteus said: Who knows but what those moments will stick in Logan's mind as the first time he really noticed electric guitar, and become the seed of a lifelong fascination with the family's musical heritage...
Logan's exposure to the world of serious pickin' began when he was a barely a toddler. We were visiting with Fred and Dinah in Savannah, and Duane and Logan rocked out with a twangin' Pop Goes The Weasel/ Old McDonald/ Mary Had a Little Lamb/ medley.
Ah, so Logan was just having the wide-eyed Stereo Gretsch Reaction (SGR), and was simply expressing it more directly than the older fellas.
Why don't you answer one of the Win-A-Poke trivia questions, Deed, and win a poke for the Duanester?
For the information and presence she has provided over the years she should get one just for naming her favorite guitarist.
Sure, but she'd have to actually answer!
Deed, your answer doesn't actually have to be correct: just say something and win!
Prote - follow that!
She's ignoring us.
In other news, we have a winner!
Gretschmaster (via email) also came up with the right answer to Question #4 from the concert trivia game, "who deserved each other." The answer: Hank Williams and his wife. So he's getting TWO Pokes.
Three questions are thus retired with correct answers, leaving five Pickers Pokes to win. Anyone else gonna play?
1 - What's wrong with the Tennessee Waltz?
2 - Finish this phrase: "You're born in pain, you live in fear, and you die alone:"
5 - Chet once said a song made you want to give money to the church: about what Chet song did a performer say the same thing?
6 - Who played "Alabama Jubilee"?
7 - Who said "Anytime?" at the intersection of Chet and jazz?
The answers are all found in the audio files linked from this concert coverage.
Prot-
Sounds like the needle was skipping a bit in the Tennessee Waltz (No. 1)
I can also answer who played Alabama Jubilee (No. 6), but I'll leave that for someone else.
Bingo Mike, that takes #1 out of the game. Congrats, and if I don't have your address, message me with it.
They did indeed, and that retires another question and its poke.
I'm a patient guy; I'm sure the other answers will dribble in...
5- Amazing Grace?
7- Morning Nichols!
Adam's a winner! Vocalist Morning Nichols, singing with her husband, the masterful jazz guitarist Jim Nichols, sang the Eddie Arnold classic "Anytime."
Another Poke done gone...
guitarzan, that's not the song I'm looking for. One of the perfomers introduced one of his numbers with the Chet "give-money-to-the-church" story, and that's what I'm after.
So still two questions to go: #2 and #5.
Scavengers, on your marks.
Awesome! I was halfway into that song before I noticed, I got too wrapped up in how great it sounded. They really had some great performers.
Chet did Not write that btw. He said that song was 'an industrial strength tear jerker'
what's with the big fonts?
Answer to #2 is "Happy Birthday"
Gresco nails #2, the end of the Scottish birthday wish recounted by Tony McManus: "You're born in pain, you live in fear, and you die alone. Happy Birthday."
(Send address for poke.)
Norm, you probably found a magic code for formatting font size. But the song you mention, I hesitate to say, is not the one the performer introduced with the Chet story. The song I'm looking for was written by Chet, according to the player.
This is a test of the GDP fontsizing system.
Putting a numbersign at the beginning of a line provides big fontism for headlinery.
After a return, default font size returns.
That's good news! I PM'd you my address. Thanks!
Hint to someone: the answer to # 5 is listed by scrolling down the thread.
Why are you guys SHOUTING at us??
written by Chet, according to the player..."
How's the world treating you.
I just figured Otterbean REALLY wanted to win. (with the gigantor letters an'all)
Ah Norm, that reminds me...
Hard to beat that pair doing that song... visually as well as vocally. Excellent vidieo...
Sorry to be so loud folks. It was completely unintentional. Thanks for pointing out the bizarre actions that can occur when you type just the right keystrokes on your PC.
Hey Deed. I'm a pretty soft spoken guy. Sometimes I have to yell to get myself noticed.
