OK, how about Eric Johnson's "Cliffs of Dover"? Don't I need a stack of Marshalls for that? Eric is an astonishing player, though. Man, oh, man. |

I don't think I could manage it with a warehouse full of Marshalls

Bill, I remember:
Take it out the door, don't want to hear it no more. Go, go, far, far away.
I think that is the chorus because he repeated it a lot.

You sure that wasn't a lyric he made up to direct at you? HA HA HA! JUST KIDDING! Serially, that doesn't sound like the one I have in my head ... Would it help if I played that great hymn "All Through the Night"? |

Damn, I missed it.
I would have requested something with a little feeling. Say, Hoochie Coochie Man.

Does this one get to stay around awhile, or are you just toying with her emotions?
A little less volume is ok, as long as it still has enough dynamic range. To my mind, that's really what loud is for -- so "soft can be loud enough, and "loud" can still be different enough to provide some drama. Beyond that, really loud acoustic guitars are for guys trying to play over banjos.
My hog-topped Larrivee L had the opposite problem. Apply enough force with a pick and it would get plenty loud. But it took quite a bit of force to get a good, full sound out of it - it was not responsive to a light touch, and a guitar has to speak softly at low volume, not whisper - so it still had a narrow dynamic range that didn't suit me. I'd pay very close attention to this floozie's response at both ends of its volume range, and the breadth of that range, before I invited her to stay. But you already knew that.

I would love to hear a Minnie-soda rendition of Stairway to Heaven.
Or anything by Esteban. He's the grooviest.

How about "The Roseville Fair"? That is a Bill Staines song, right? I've always wanted to rewrite those lyrics and make it into a holiday nightmare tale.... And we shopped all night At the Rosedale Mall..... |

There's a lady who's sure, that her E string is gold
And she's walking a sidewalk to Roseville
And when she gets there she knows if The Podium is closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's walking a sidewalk to Roseville
There's Bill's house standing tall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes size has two meanings
From the window of Bill's house there's a voice who sings
Sometimes all of our words are mis-spelled
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's walking a sidewalk to Roseville
There's a feeling she gets when she looks to the west
And her spirit is crying for a Leinie
In her thoughts she has seen Bill strumming his strings
And the voices of those who stand gasping
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's walking a sidewalk to Roseville
And it's whispered that soon, if he cleans his bedroom
Then Barb Piper will lead him to reason
And a new day will dawn, for Bill is not that long
And Roseville will echo with laughter
And it makes me wonder
There's a lady who's sure, that her E string is gold
And she's walking a sidewalk to Roseville
And when she gets there she knows if The Podium is closed
With a word she can get what she came for
And she's walking a sidewalk to Roseville, uh uh uh.
