Rolling Stones doing free concert in Cuba

It’s down right awesome to see the Rolling Stones flying their own jet to Cuba to do a free concert. For many years their music was not allowed to be played on Cuban radio stations. People in Cuba listened to the Stones and traded their albums in secret.

It’s hard to believe these guys are rocking like they do after all these years. I remember Mick saying years ago the Stone’s would make albums and play live until the day they died. I’m beginning to believe this may be true. Still rockin’ and still having fun.

Good guitar for a great price

I have a nice bass guitar and amp. and an acoustic but needed to get a nice acoustic with good play ability and sound. The acoustic I had was an old Kay which plays not too bad but the sound just is not there. When I bought it about 10 years ago it was being use as a slide guitar and that is probably what I will do with it again.

The guitar is a Profile PW-07. They were originally made in Australia and sold in Canada. This one is made in Korea. It’s like new condition. I took it to Wentworth Music in Kelowna and they did setup service on it and it is even easier to play now. The was adjusted, frets polished, fretboard oiled and buffed, and other stuff to give it a full tune up. They even vacuumed out the bag

It’s nice to play with the close action and sounds very good. If you strum it and stop the sound carries for some time. I now need to get my fingers back in shape since I haven’t played for some time.

Rumbling the bass

I’ve played some guitar throughout my life but not for awhile. Some friends who play music asked if I would play bass once in awhile. I bought a Yamaha bass and a Bass Master 100 amp with 15″ speaker. Both play and sound good. Having fun.

 

Two extreme opposite edges of a range

Two of my favorite artists in the 1970’s, despite their  extreme opposite edges of a musical range. This photo is in Beverly Hills when Leona Boyd and Ozzy owned homes next to each other. What is the range, Sweet Leaf.
