yep Mike amd there is a red squier strat sitting right in front of him, but I guess that Fender amp is an acoustic guitar amp?(amp that is the tan one)

damn it only took me 8 minutes to learn "Are You Ready For The Country" by Waylon Jennings.. the bass line anyhow, there is some neat 70's ish country hits sounding pedal steel licks that are awesome in that tune..

come on out and see us y'all! we will be doing Highway Song by Blackfoot as our tour de' force marches the southland getting geezers and young folk alike, dancin' their azzes off..

only two things you gotta know about being a successful money-making band (and HALEY knows this) gotta get 'em dancin' and you gotta get em drinkin'.. and if that tune on page 1 is not convincing you that it can make a dancin' fool ouutta the most awkward person around then you might want to be checkin' to see if you'uns have a pulse..

THANKS SCHMEDDY, you might be the only one with some faith this thing is gonna fly.. maybe some of the others wish they had a dance band.. I just don't know.. thanks Planetguy, I know your advice comes from your wisdom.. I just wish it had come from your heart instead of your head.. like The Who states, "is it in my head or is it in my heart" off Quadrophenia..

thanks Planetguy, I know your advice comes from your wisdom.. I just wish it had come from your heart instead of your head..

and i wish that you had seen that what i said.... and how carefully i chose my words to say it ...was exactly BOTH of thosethings.

from my head (experience) ...AND my heart.

sorry you missed that, dayne. ah, well.

I just hope we can get a gig up around Tebbetts, and I will buy you a drink or two, and we can both talk about Glen in secret..just kidding Glen!

and I will get you free tickets too..Planetguy, you have always been gracious inviting me up to see one of your bands that is playing that week, means a lot.. you are a gracious guy..

... you are a gracious guy..

I received notification they want to do Highway Song in D?..is that key of D major or is that key of D minor? I don't think it can be successfully transposed to either one of those keys without it sounding alien sounding? what is your take Planetguy? the tune (and everybody plays it this way) starts out Em - C - D - Em -C - D - C - ( I say F#/D but others say
D maj.) - Em- B7..
so doing it in "D" would start how?

so the original Highway Song is in the key of E-minor, if they want to do it now in "D" I assume they mean key of
D-minor? which is a key 1 whole step down.. so if you start the song in the lowest sounding chord possible an E minor and you have to go down 1 whole step what can you go to? it seems the guitar is simply going to have to be tuned a whole step down and tuned with it self..simply tuned down from a 440hz -A pitch standard to ?..well, I guess that what electronic tuners are for , I will simply tune down, unless jook sees another way around this, Jesse is bitchin about he can't do it in Em key.. I say scrap the tune it is long assed anyg how, and never really did anything for me back in 1979 it is like a theme instead of a dance tune.

If they want to do it in Dm, it would be Dm - Bb - C. Changing to that key would probably be for the singer - lower, easier to hit the notes? You need a 5 string bass with a low B string, so you can hit the low D, rather than the high D.

yep, Mike, how will I hit that low D ?..with a 4-string? I am thinking tune the bass down 1 whole-tone and use that bass dedicated to that one tune..but need a 2nd bass for the rest of the tunage..
