22.01.2022 Michael O’Shea - No Journeys End Having sold his instruments to fund a nomadic 1970s lifestyle, eccentric Irish experimentalist Michael O’Shea was forced to cr...eate his own handmade answer to the sitars and zelochords he’d become accustomed to playing on his travels around the globe. Using an old door, 17 strings, chopsticks and combining them with phasers, echo units and amplification, the new device was to become his signature sound, mixing Irish folk influences with Asian and North African sounds in a mesmerising and soulful new way that brought him to the attention of the leading improvisers of his day - Alice Coltrane, Ravi Shankar, Don Cherry and more.
21.01.2022 The Doors were in the PBS Studios this week in April of 1969 filming for an episode of Critique. I think in a way, rock concerts have always served a functi...on that gives a lot of people with the same station in life a chance to gather together and kind of assemble and just feel the sheer mass of them that exists.

13.01.2022 Here a great interview with Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath. Just after the 2 minute mark he talks about how he lost the tips of 2 of his fingers in a work accident just before he was going to go on his first tour with a band. The reason i am sharing this here is because over the years I’ve built many a cigar box guitar for people with various hand injuries, missing fingers, arthritis etc etc. People who thought they wouldn’t play guitar again or in some cases people who took ...up playing an instrument for the first time! 3 strings & a slide. Where there’s a will there’s a way. https://youtu.be/LN2FYIhGwaA

01.01.2022 Robby Krieger in 1973 on his signature bottleneck sound, "I never change my strings, at least I haven't for about four years. The older they get the better they... are for me. Sure they go dead, but I like a dead sound. I never clean them, either. The dirtier the better." Click below for Robby playing some dirty bottleneck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQUbqHbwT64
01.01.2022 Heres an instrumental tune I did the other day. The original plan was to record a riff for my friend Thomas in Greece after I had a chat to him. I recorded the idea one night and the next day played it back. I liked how the riff evolved as I was mucking around so got the recording gear out to capture it. He might take a small section & make a loop or use the lot? It sort of has 3 sections. After I did one track I added another for fun, one take, the best way. https://youtu.be/9gtjP__LWDc
