Eddie Bo Dean's with a new pickup in my guitar!
Last night I went to Eddie Bo Dean's "open stage" again; it started out slow (perhaps because of Superbowl evening). I just recently purchased a K&K Sound Pure Western transducer, for my cedar-top Simon and Patrick, from Mike at Acousticguitar.net. Mike is a very easygoing fellow with some excellent Canadian guitars in stock; I look forward to visiting him again one day. I had Miles from Fretworks install the transducer for me; he is a reputable guitar mechanic and luthier in Calgary. My guitar sounded warm, clear and natural through the PA and I am quite happy.
I played some E tuning songs when my turn came:
Xavier Rudd - Solace Amongst the Sin
Xavier Rudd - No Woman No Cry (Bob Marley)
The Black Crowes - Talks to Angels
The songs were well received, and have been at a few past appearances; I plan to keep them in my set! I ran into Greg again; he played a few songs including "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen, and Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind"... both were quite good. He plays harmonica with the guitar which is cool.
