Very nice! I enjoyed these very much. Love the out-blues approach. Good recipe of rawness and finesse! I'm falling drunk overboard on the Mississippi and washing up on some oily gulf island beach. I had a dream, but can't remember what it was.
Three Guitar Solos - check them out - Three solos recorded on an unusual instrument - a very cheap (plywood etc.) Rhapsody guitar that was outfitted in the 1930s 0r 1940s with an early electric pickup. The sound is amazingly good. Photographs and three pieces follow. The guitar has an odd sound; I put new very light gauge electric guitar strings on it. I wouldn't have been able to play these pieces on any other instrument. The neck is very wide, the body small. If you have any information on Rhapsody instruments (I found nothing online) or this particular pickup (ditto), please let me know. It's definitely not humbucking. The knobs etc. are bakelite and the soldering style etc. seems very early. http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/1940.mp3 http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/1941.mp3 http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/1942.mp3 http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/rhapsody1.jpg http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/rhapsody2.jpg
