Old Old Old tapes founded. Riviera Paradise
Riviera Paradise
I don't remember playing any of this nor do I ever remember having so much speed and dexterity. Check this one out - Robin Trower - I especially don't remember playing with so much distortion - I play clean now. And Rude Mood! |

That was 28 years ago. Wow. I knew I lost dexterity and accuracy when I quit in 2006 but I really didn’t understand how much until I found these tapes.

Ha! I was clean by then!
Thx. I quit for a number of reasons. I moved from Milwaukee where I had a long list of players from Chicago and Milwaukee, a reputation that made gigs come to me, a large database of fans and we were commanding $800-$1000 per show. Move to Austin and all of that goes away. I was unknown here (not any more! ) People playing for tips here. **** that. I also had an ailing consulting business (the main reason we moved was because of Austins incredible growth. The Midwest was still stuck from 9/11) I had to make a choice. I played a big show three days before we moved. Indeed ‘twas. WAS. In fact, that was a precursor band to an even better group. I cannot play that no matter how hard I try these days. Something about the right hand on that tune I have lost. |

Great tunes man!
SRV was the master but Trower had plenty of tasty licks of his own. Back It Up got played to death in my car in the 80s Scott

I had forgotten how much Trower I used to play. Definitely one of my formative influences. The other is Alex Lifeson. And Gary Moore.

I used to play when I was young, too. Played in a couple of local groups with guys I knew. Mostly Skynyrd, Seger, Styx, Foreigner, Boston, CCR and some acoustics like Croce, John Denver, England Dan & John Ford Coley and such. It was the late seventies, early eighties ya know. I try every now and then again but damn I suck now. I remember the lyrics but a lot of the music is lost along with the dexterity. Two or three songs and the carpal tunnel kicks in and I'm done. I think one of the guys has some audio recordings but I haven't seen him in close to thirty years.
Damn good playin', son. Don't think I was ever that good. |

My nephew is now about 65 y/o or so, and he played git-fiddle for a long time, so much so that he screwed up his fingers to the point he can't play anymore, and here I thought it was just him, but reading this.....I guess not......

I’m more of an ensemble player (less out front, more of a balanced sound that serves the song, not the ego) a lot of that style is wrapped in ego. And SRV had one hell of an ego back in the day. He also never had a ride, smokes, cables, a place to live and was wasted all the time when I was in Austin in 1981. I didn’t meet him, but he wasn’t a worldwide star yet. But he was a big deal regionally. Everyone propped him up. I know this first hand and second hand since most of the people I play with also played with him. |
