I have it too and like the original album it sounds a little ... lame. Maybe I have to listen even more to it. I like Windwood, I like Traffic and I'm not one of those "Eric should've stayed with Cream and forever played his Gibsons over Marshalls"-whiners either, I even like his new solo album, he's making great progress in becoming a second rate J.J. Cale, but Windwood and Clapton together is not what I would call a combustive mix.
Ok, I'll listen to their stuff again ...
I can believe it. And a death toll of 10,000 is unrealistically low. There are that many people missing and feared dead in the town of Minami Sanriku. The same article says that Kesennuma (pop. 74,000) is missing three-quarters of its residents. Another article says the town of Minamisoma (pop. 71.000) is also wiped out. Now there are reports that the coastal town of Rikuzentakata (pop. 24,000) is completely submerged.
I've got a Jerry Jones & a Raja Zeetar. The Zeetar was made in Japan in the '60s and was designed around the traditional sitar. I had mine restored in the late '90s & really have not used it much...the gourd bodies on these things are fiberglass, not a real gourd. They have seven main strings & a series of sympathetic strings running under the arched frets. When I had mine restored, I had the screw mounted arched frets removed & replaced with tie-on frets. I also had it set up in E to E guitar tuning with the 7th fret being an additional high E running next to the low E. The electronics are stereo, so that you can split off the sympathetic strings & send to another amp.
And now a cooling system explosion that apparently has collapsed the walls of a building surrounding a reactor.
