Funny, had intended to mention Ellen played a wild 12 string and slide, Leo Kottke would have been blown offstage. Not familiar with a "12 frets" to body construct? Have my 1974 ( bought 1977 ) Ovation slot head 12 string here, play it most days. Not an instagram person, never used it, other links to your lads work? j.A few on here have enjoyed my sons country blues tracks, here's a link to his instagram lots of solo tunes on here have a good browse and some are available on his band camp page. he's also just got an EPIC new 12 frets to the body 12 string by Steve Phillips ext Notting Hill Billys

My goodness! I thought I was the only one who loved her….. in our circle I guess I was.
There are moments in a life, much is good.... and then even better, PJ Harvey and Johnette Napolitano, performers and song writers, from a different planet than the oft proffered planet earth lesser thans so promoted. Cruel scene is the music, performers whom will never see a deserved place. Still, other musos do know when good is very good, and will say so. Well done Alzero on Ellen. j

My mum's name was Ellen. Never heard her sing though.
My dad used to play a 12-string mandolin and sing. He had a baritone voice like Paul Robeson. He was a fan of Robeson and would sing many of his songs. (google Paul Robeson if you've never heard of him. My dad sounded exactly like him).
I guess my dad inherited some talent from his grandfather who was a well-known singer and stage actor. I regret never having recorded my father singing. He was pretty good.

Mr Robeson was the definition of "Baritone".... be something to hear, your dad....12 string mandolin, you have my advantage, have an 8 string A type and a mighty 8 string resonator mandolin ...j

Just a little correction on the vid (excellent version, agreed). I Talk to the Wind was on the 1969 In the Court of the Crimson King, not a KC first release in 1976.

I believe that goes back even further, pre dating KC, but with Fripp.

The above, and the chill being experienced by some in Oz, reminded me of this one:

Great story on Jesse Ed Davis in the Guardian today. I remember seeing his name on a lot of album notes back then, but this goes into a lot more detail.

He played with Dylan, Clapton and Lennon: the unsung genius of guitarist Jesse Ed Davis
He was the go-to session guitarist for some of the biggest music stars of all time yet his incredible highs and tragic lows have often been overlooked

Another mini-biography, this time of Dr John, Mac Rebbenac, the Night Tripper. I never cared for all the voodoo dressing up, but I sure loved his music. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2...orleans-elusive-genius?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other Among the best IMHO was “Such a Night”.

Raining today in the NT shed. Unusual, like last year. Netflix has Travelin' Band: Creedence Clearwater Revival Live at the Royal Albert Hall.
Geeze they were a good band.

John Fogerty had the same gift that Robert Hunter had writing for the Grateful Dead: the ability to write new songs that sounded like old standards.

Some of the best performances seemed to be on French TV in the late `sixties / early ` seventies...
PP Arnold was on the same label as the Small Faces hence her featuring on this track...which sounds like the studio recording put over the top of this TV appearance...seems to be a 98% match .
