just.like.that.
For the love of tweed
In 1948 Fender made the first amp dressed in tweed. Thank you almighty guitar angels for this day.
I play on tube amps. I guess that´s a bit like shooting with film when it comes to photography. I love the film look, I really do. But I´m still fascinated by the fact that you don´t have to spend hours in the lab, developing and such. Well you can send the rolls away, but anyway... And though being a very calm man, I´m still very restless and don´t like to wait for things. Same thing with eg vinyl records. They´re just better, softer and more alive than cd's I think. And the old records, with two sides, contains a dramaturgy with their two sides. Planned in detail by the musicians and producers. The first track is always good. And the last on the first side is often quite good. But the first track on the second side, it´s often that one that blows you away! With a cd this drama is totally lost. And the images were often cooler on a big LP too..!
Today I´m listening to Grateful Dead. Again, after many years. (On mp3's... lazy me... lol.) Thanks for reminding me Jim!
