I will keep both suggestions in mind. I would also like to add-I'm looking for a town that has affordable housing, a good public transportation system, and employment opporturnities in a Compact disc/bookstore/library field. Also, the town would have to be on the east coast. I thank you for your assistance.Music related question-What was your first introduction to garage/punk music? I ws first introduced to the genre through the Maximumrocknroll radio show. I remember hearing a track from either Pebbles#11 0r#12. The song I enjoyed was "E.S.P" by the Beaver Patrol which was a cleaner version of "L.S.D" by the Pretty Things. This was way back in 1983. I apologize for the ramble.

I have to agree with the Majority of Fender Twin and Super Reverb supporters... The Reverb is the main reason I dig Fenders, I replaced one of the JBL's with an old Altec Lansing speaker in my Twin, and it sounds really fucked up... It doesn't get much of a clean sound, but I can get a pretty cool tone without having to crank the distortion.. I tend to like the natural overdriven sound to distortion pedals (although I like them too) If you can't afford A Mesa Boogie, or a Matchless, or the Vox AC30 or the Hiwatt Bulldog (all VERY expensive) The Super Reverb or The Twin can't be beat.. I like Marshalls, but I tend to get more versatility out of Fenders.. My buddy actually removed a couple of tubes from his Marshall, and uses a thing called a Hot Plate.. He gets a very cool 70's sludgy rock sound, without blowing everyone out of the room... I for one, have to have REVERB.. (and not DIGITAL..goes without saying) The Rat is a great pedal!! I love the way a bass sounds through one!!!! Alan Wright.. to get that James Brown sound, without losing the tone he has, he may want to get another amp with a clean tone and run them in stereo (always a pain in the ass but will solve the problem) My guitarist runs a Twin and a Marshall halfstack in stereo, one for twang, and one for overdrive, and although it is more gear than I like to have on stage, It certainly gets some great sounds and was worth he hassle... my 2 cents.. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2002 22:13:30 -0500 From: "John Trembly" Subject: Re: Kracker <>> Is that the same Kracker that made one album for Rolling Stones Records in the mid-seventies?

This is especially irratating when neither of us can recall the band name or figure out the song title (y'know...when it ain't obvious and therefore easy to find on the Garage Comp Database). So here's what we have to go on - a mid-tempo moody ditty featuring the key lines: I believed you, trusted you And then you broke my heart I should know this, but I'm glad I can count on yu folks in the fuzz fraternity to remind us of the answer. Thanks.

I don't know about the other two, but I do know that The Credibility Gap was a comedy group, unless this is a different Credibility Gap. Check it out and see. The Blue Boys may be a bluegrass group, if they're the same ones on RCA that I've once bought a 45 from.

It seems that everyone I talk to is into these old Fender amps that have point to point wiring. Why in hell does fender not re release these amps built EXACTLY the way they were in the 60's. I know that some of the caps and transformer materials are not still available (I've been told this) But it seems like when I talk about some of the re issues they have people are always saying that they have printed circuit boards so they are not REALLY like the old ones. Matchless went out of business and I'm not sure in Tophat is point to point. I've been told they would be really expensive but I think people would pay for it. Can anyone shed some light on this? Is there anyone making amps that are built like they used to? Speaking of tones, I saw some band play the Hotel Utah in San Fran not too long ago. This guy was playing a Les Paul in a band through a Marshall Plexitone? Plexi something? It was going through a 4 x10. Sounded great. Maybe I can have someone make an amp from the schematic of this plexi something Marshall.

Or was it the other side of "Scottish Tea?" <> That's about right. Around 1975 Mainstream released this album called THE GUITAR PLAYERS, and they had the nuts to include the Dukes'"Baby, Please Don't Go" amongst all these blues and jazz songs from their vaults. Personally, I dig the entire album (which ranges from straight-ahead jazz to jazz-funk to acoustic blues), but for most potential buyers, "Baby Please Don't Go" is as out of place as a giraffe in the back seat of a Volkswagen.

They had other elpees on Reprise and Blue Thumb, but as I recall their Capitol longplayer was a Woodstock parody (WOODSCHTICK, I think???). Members of the group included Harry Shearer (among other things, he provides several voices on THE SIMPSONS) and the duo of Michael McKean and David Lander (a/k/a Lenny & Squiggy of LAVERNE & SHIRLEY/Lenny & the Squigtones fame), but I don't know if they were around during their Capitol Records period. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2002 04:30:28 EST From: TheJewws@aol.com Subject: Re: Amps and point to point wiring In a message dated 2/9/02 10:35:21 PM Pacific Standard Time, TheReedGuy@aol.com writes: > For crying out loud, is there a conspiracy or something.
