Amp Check Fugue in A Major

It’s been a while since I’ve played a guitar into a microphone so thought I’d try out this little one I have sitting around the station:

amp check fugue in A Major

Fender Telecaster into a Gibson Falcon

One love

P.S. The word ‘fugue’ is used here in reference to psychological state rather than the musical composition technique of repeating melody in two or more voice, but the complete song is in fact to be played as that kind of fugue… when you have enough people to play the parts.

Here I was, just sitting …

Blackwood Press: Leaves Along The Sidewalk: A Call For Artists

A death. A body amongst leaves on the sidewalk, found by passersby, the young couple walking their dog. An old man, you’d expect natural causes, but there’s a pool of blood amongst the leaves beneath his coat. Was he shot or stabbed? Why? By whom?

Blackwood Press wants to hear the story, and many more like it or unlike it. We’re putting out a call to artists for submissions in a wide range of eclectic, dynamic media for publication on our website.

Our central focus has always been the written word, yet surrounded and complemented immediately by all the combined, mixed media we can produce. Traditionally that’s meant printed chapbooks and small-run audio compact disc duplication, as well as an occasional full-length book; but today we’re traveling digitally and online, first with our glorified blog of a website, followed by ebooks and other digital editions, and still, we hope, with an occasional full-length physically printed book.

Blackwood Press is small, independent, and powered by creativity. All forms of artistic expression will be considered for publication on this website. Artists retain all rights to their work outside of initial publication.

Please submit inquiries and manuscript materials to the address listed below, or use the online form to upload your work. Submitted materials will not be returned unless prior agreements have been arranged with Blackwood Press.

Send manuscripts and materials to:

Blackwood Press
P.O. Box 12121
Grand Forks, ND 58208-2121

Or email us: blackwoodpress@blackwoodpress.com

You wouldn’t expect to find such a thing in an ordinary place like that.

Taking a test run on a '37 Martin 000-28 in the Strings West booth at the Arlington Guitar Show 2011 - Guitarlington!

I spent the weekend at the Arlington Guitar Show 2011, in Arlington, Texas, with the Vintage Guitar crew … Alan, James, Ward, Gil, Barbara, Lisa … man, what a blast!

The show itself was nutso, mind-boggling … more guitars in one place than I’ve ever imagined … check out the VG photo gallery on the Facebook page

Hanging out with everybody was like a Hollywood night for me – Gil Hembree is a celebrity, am I right?  Lisa Sharken?  I don’t know about you, but I consider Ward Meeker a living legend of walking, talking guitar encyclopendiums …

And watching those dealer jams, amazing … you think Brad Paisley can play?  Meet Gary Hutchison sometime!  Smokin’!!!  Meeting the dealers, Berlin and Belzer, The Burst Brothers … the guys from Cream City … all of it was just great.

Thanks a lot, VG … anytime you want to send me again, I’m in.

Now tonight I’m gonna see if I can make my Tele sound like those jam session dudes … practice, practice!
