I believe if the "want-to" is there and your heart and mind are in the right
"mode" you can be a great player whether it's improv or sheet-reading, most
of the axe-men that we all carry on about don't care about theory...etc
they just do it, it's in them and it's got to come out. I believe if you
rely on sheet music...etc too heavily it will hurt your playing, but you
can't have too much feeling. I've heard people say so-and-so's playing is too
mechanical, but never have i heard so-and-so plays with too much feeling
but hey "sheet happens".

Adrian is still a Guitar God, but he's not doing as much of the elephant bit
lately.  His last two solo albums, _Young Lions_ and _Inner Revolution_, are
pretty disappointing IMHO.  He's always been into a good _song_, as opposed
to just guitar noises (except for _Desire Caught by the Tail_, which is all
guitar noises, yum), but now he seems to be into pure pop / power pop.  I
think the song with his daughter singing ("Oh Daddy") and the radio-ready
duet with Bowie ("Pretty Pink Rose") were pretty awful, although I like the
_Mr. Music Head_ album that "PPR" came from.  He played in Dallas a few 
months ago, and was good but not great.  I think he works better when he has 
a more warped influence on him, like David Byrne, Robert Fripp, Zappa, etc. 
He's still a _really_ nice guy, and capable of doing amazing stuff, but...   
"This is Adrian Belew on 'Elephant Talk.'  This is Adrian Belew on 'Oh Daddy.'
Any questions?"  %)

Island finally put out his earlier solo material on CD, but only as a one-CD
compilation which IMHO ruins the track ordering compared to the original LPs.
I like _Lone Rhino_ (first solo LP) best; _Twang Bar King_ has some high
points, but it doesn't sound as fresh as _Rhino_.  _Desire Caught by the
Tail_ is very interesting if you like a wide variety of mutated guitar sounds
(99% instrumental).  I think the ads for it said Belew used "200 different 
guitar sounds," and it's not a very long album, either. %)

Other good Belew appearances are on Frank Zappa's _Sheik Yerbouti_ (featuring
Belew's Bob Dylan impersonation) and Tom Tom Club's first album (the Belew 
guitar on "L'Elephant" is a classic).  Allegedly, TTC never paid Belew for
his parts.

I don't know, Adrian seems to be into a real sweetness-and-light thing now,
and while he's always been optimistic, I wouldn't mind a little bit more 
edge to things.  Hopefully, we'll see a "return to form" in the new Crimson
lineup (but not until next year, apparently %( ).

I've only heard their self-titled album, from the stuff I heard they weren't too
distinctive sounding (though I still liked it). "End Of My Days" sounded like
Ozzy-era Black Sabbath and "Misery Shows" sounded like a Guns'n'Roses tune.
The singer sounds alot like mid 70's Ozzy.

Subject:      Answers to those timeless questions

   First, I know you've all been waiting with "baited" breath for my answers
to this topic:

>(1) If you had ypur choice of playing in any band past/present who
>    would it be or would you rahter front your own.

   Twenty years ago I would have said that I wanted to be John Kay.
Fifteen years ago it would have been Santana.
   Currently I'd love to play in Sonny Sharrock's band, but only if I took
the place of his cheezoid keyboard player.  Then I would just sit and
watch, and make Sonny play all the time.
   If not that, maybe I could be a part of Beer's group (Brackets?).  Then
I could show him what a *really* out-of-tune sax sounds like.  :*)

>(2) Think hard on this one, what do you think of Chet Atkins also
>    do you own any of his stuff

   Sure I like Chester -- he seems like one of the nice people in the music
bidness.  I've got a few of his things -- _Me And My Guitar_, _Certified
Guitar Player_, and _Chet Plays Slow And Sappy Tunes_ (well, that's not the
actual title, but you get the idea).  I like watching him play, cause he's
so low key about what he's doing.

>(3) on a scale of 1 to 10 how important is music in your life

   Let's see ... of my many addictions, I'd say music is the top.  I'm
either listening or playing most of the time I'm away from work.  I would
guess a 10 1/2.

>(4) Which instrument besides the one you play would you like to
>    play

   Well, tenor sax is the one I'm learning to play, so that must be the one
I want to.  After that, maybe soprano sax.  After that, maybe I could
fiddle with Carol's pipes.  ;*)

i had a similar problem a few years ago.  i was living in a mobile home and
playing my guitar in the living room one day.  i suddenly had this tingly
feeling all up and down my left leg -- it was so wierd!  if i got up and
started to walk around it would stop immediately, but when i sat down it would
start again.  it turned out that my socked foot was touching the metal air
vent in the floor.  there wasn't a lot of current, but it was enough to
notice.

some days later i was practicing and someone knocked on the door.  when i
touched the doorknob to open it (of course my other hand was still on the
strings), i got quite a jolt!  maybe tim will have a better explanation, but
it sounds like the electrical ground in our power was floating, so to speak,
since our outlets didn't have the third hole for grounded plugs.  therefore
it would have been at a different potential than the mobile home's pysical
ground.  i don't know what else would cause me to get shocked.  perhaps your
experience is similar.

re: OFRA

i listened to ofra harnoy again last night.  now that i am becoming more
accustomed to schubert's sonata i find that i like it even more than at
first.  oh, about the cd noise thing i posted yesterday... i re-read it and
it didn't sound quite right.  the noise level is really quite low.  it's just
that *for a cd* it sounds a little noisy.  make more sense?  whatever...

i take it that no one else is familiar with any of her other recordings.  she
really is a very expressive player.  i haven't been this excited about a new
music purchase in a long time.  check her out if you get the chance.

On Monday I picked up Ginger Baker's _No Material_ w/ Sharrock, Skopelitis, and

can see why when you listen to it. They were just too volatile a combination.
This baby burns. It's similar to the Last Exit stuff I've heard (Koln), but
more listenable IMHO. This one's been receiving alot of playing time over the
last four days.
