Hello fellow players,<\/p>\n
Here is an email I got from Aaron Doyle in reply to my last newsletter. I think it speaks for itself.<\/p>\n
Here it is:<\/p>\n
Well said, Bobbe. At some point many of us are fortunate enough to own 2 or more guitars. As you know I am a guitarist who owns 12 guitars and, each one has its own tone and personality. Some have one gauge strings with certain tonal qualities while others have a different tone and sound.<\/p>\n
Obviously, the difficult part of owning 2 of anything when first starting out is money. My first 3 years as a professional player I owned one guitar as to the cost of owning 2 was not possible.<\/p>\n
Later as I played more often and made more money, I purchased another and another. The groups I played in as the years progressed always carried extra amps, mics, cords, etc. Oh! My cousin, Dennis Crouch, owns a number of high quality bass guitars so it is not just us guitar players.<\/p>\n
Weather here in the Quad Cities (Upper western Illinois is cold). I am working on putting ‘sets’ together with a new Alesis SR 18 and Digitech vocalizer. Finally getting some energy back after a long 4 year battle with lymphoma, so, I am hoping to play some solo gigs. It is not that I want to play alone (I really like the camaraderie of fellow musicians) but, as I am entering my 60s it has become more difficult to get musicians to commit to a schedule of rehearsals, jobs, hours etc. And not all are retired as I am.<\/p>\n
Have a blessed day,
\nAaron<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThank you Aaron for that email. I hope it encourages other players to think as we do.<\/p>\n
For anyone not familiar with Aaron’s cousin Dennis Crouch, Google him and you’ll find out what an accomplished Nashville player he is. He is one of the co-founders of The Time Jumpers. Here is a link that will get you started: www.bassfrontiersmag.com<\/a><\/p>\n
Dennis is the upright bass player Maurice and I used on our show when we recorded our Nashville Jam Session DVD which you can order at www.steelguitar.net\/videos.html<\/a><\/p>\n
One more item then I’ll call it quits for today. I am taking trade-ins of any brand of old film camera to donate to a film photography school. So if you’ve gone digital and have an old film camera around collecting dust, let’s make a deal.<\/p>\n
Once again, I’m offering free shipping within the continental United States on any guitar bought through the end of the month.<\/p>\n
