Elvis didn't write it but he owns it in many people's minds.

I've had a thing about Johnny Cash since I was a kid too.



Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

For that vocal anglophile minority that digs Rics, flutes, rock'n'roll piano, old trains, Flying Vs, PROG plus an English pop feel (think 10cc or Stackridge) and really wants to make some noise!




Putting those stills in on how they all looked when they were a lot younger is kind of cute.

That's a young Robin Trower, right? It's weird seeing him with a Gibson, why did all British 70ies guitar heroes start on Gibsons and end with a Strat (and never - or rarely - the other way around). Is that the Hank Marvin AND Jimi Hendrix influence? Think Beck, Clapton, Blackmore ... Or they were Strat players right from the start and stuck to it (Gallagher, Gilmour). Mark Knopfler is one guy who was pretty much solely a Strat player initially and dug out a Les Paul (obviously after he could afford one!) more and more often as his career progressed though he never gave up the Strat entirely.

We used to do that song too with Definition Of Madmen.
Fun to play.

Good version, Rob. Is that a BaCH or one of your own builds?

Thnx Dave. It's a BaCH. The first one they built. And left discarded in a corner because they had accidentally made it long scale. After a while I asked them to send it to me anyway. I installed a bridge and asked BaCH to make a batch of these long scale EB2 copies.
It's a red bass by the way. The colors of the video are way off.

That version of "Whiskey Train" rocks.  That is some excellent music!

On another note, I used to be in a band that did "Folsom Prison Blues."  It was actually my idea.  From time to time, there would be drunks insisting we do something country.  That was as close to country as we could get.  Sometimes my bandmates would have some amused looks on their faces while I was singing it, though. 
It's not those who write the laws that have the greatest impact on society.  It's those who write the songs.
