The version that Parkening plays is an arrangement by Rick Foster
and is the version that is in the _Parkening_Plays_Bach_ book and
recording.  Rick Foster also rearranged it (very slightly) for a per-
formance he did himself for a Christmas recording that is also a very

performance is not up to Parkening's, but his performance on other
tunes on the record does have its shining moments in spite of some
of the indulgent and occasionally annoying schmaltz.  However, be warned:
he credits George Winston's _December_ as one of the inspirations
for this work.  As anyone knows, George Winston is the evil anti-Elvis;

When the nighttime DJ lady plays tunes from GW's _December_ while I
sleep with the radio on what's supposed to be the classical radio
station I literally have nightmares and wake up in a cold sweat.

	The .22 is my favourite amp, for many reasons, boiling down
to (a) sounds great, (b) simple and portable.  It does have its
shortcomings though.

>One thing I forgot to check it for is an effects send/return.  It does

	Yes, mono effects loop.

>nauseating..

	The EQ option is useful.  The .22's lead channel is pretty
weak in the bass, so by using the EQ-auto feature you can boost
the bass in the lead channel.  An extension cabinet helps a lot too.
The EQ can also radically alter your tone, although I prefer the
lead channel sound with just a bit of bass boost, not wild adjustment.

	I did what you're thinking of -- bought an outboard EQ and
stuck it in the effects loop.  I'm using a Rockman EQ (nice because
it has lots of mid-band controls, instead of a typical 10-band
EQ with controls way up where they're useless for guitar).
I wired my own cable with two mono plugs at one end and a stereo
plug at the other end, and put a DPDT switch in the footswitch.
I can then emulate EQ-auto: switching in the lead channel also
switches on the EQ; and the EQ is bypassed in rhythm mode.

	The built-in EQ is located close to the FX loop in the
circuit, but not directly at it, so an outboard won't be exactly like
the built-in, but it works for me.

	I strongly recommend you buy a little computer fan (3.5" or so)
and hang it from the back of the amp chassis.  That Class A Boogie
runs very hot, but a fan will keep it cool and help to prolong
tube life and general circuit board healthiness.

	Now I have something shocking to pass along.  I recently
was in a Boogie dealership nearby where the clerk claimed that the
Peavey Bravo (all tube, uses those sweet EL84s just like the .22)
sounds so much better than the .22 for lots less money.
I haven't heard one, but it's worth investigating.

A few months ago I got a Tascam Portastudio 488, which fits 8 tracks
onto an ordinary cassette (using both sides at the same time and
running at twice the normal speed).  It's a lot more flexible than a
4-track, and surprisingly affordable -- it cost me about $1300.  It's
a great machine.  There's little cross-talk between tracks and the
controls feel very precise.  I recommend it to those who are tired of
wracking their brains bouncing tracks, like I was.

	Drew,

	A power chord IS a triad without the third.

	They are necessary because of the way distortion works. This will be
like explaining how to tie a necktie over the phone, but here goes...

	Picture, if you will, a sine wave (I'd draw one if I could). This
is a fourier representation of a fundamental pitch. Now... when you apply
distortion, the amplitude of this wave is increased (it gets bigger), and the
heads are chopped off. Now it looks s/thing like a rounded square wave.

	If you include all of the harmonics with that fundamental, your
sine wave gets very choppy. Distortion boosts and decapitates all of these.

	Now. Consider an interval. With perfect intervals, it's still rela-
tively serene harmonically speaking, but with other intervals, the harmonic
activity that they produce can become quite complex. Throw in a third note and
all hell breaks loose.

	If distortion is applied to that, especially with the technology
from 40, 30, 20, 10 years ago, it sounds like dogshit. So...styles of
music which utilize HEAVILY distorted guitars couldn't do much more than
simultaneous perfect intervals.

	Now, with the amps of today and tasteful application, you can get away
with more when you have a lot of distortion.

		Hope this answered it for you.

No; that's a different book.  (For a beginner book, it does have some

  The book I'm thinking of is called something like _Parkening Plays
Bach_, and contains a number of pieces from the album of the same

  In the case of Holdsworth, I believe when it was said that Eddie
Jobson wanted him to play the same guitar solos every night when they
worked together in U.K., that Holdsworth replied "sorry, not possible,"
which I took to mean that he could not play it the same way every night.
In other words, I don't think he meant he *would not* -- it just wasn't
within his grasp to do so. Now, don't misunderstand me here... I think
it's obvious to anyone that Holdsworth is one of the greatest players
of our time, but like all great players, they have their strengths and
weaknesses. His greatest strength (which I can attest to, as can most
who have seen him play live with his band) is, of course, improvisation.
I'm sure the case could be made that not being able to play the same
500 notes twice on consecutive nights could be construed as a weakness.
But I think we'd be stretching things a little.  ;)

I was wondering if anyone could refer me to some good music stores that

My personal favorite is the Guitar Gallery in Tuscaloosa, AL.  Scott and Dan 
are two really great guys who WANT, or better yet STRIVE, to make you a good 
deal.  It is their goal to sell you good used equipment at very affordable 
prices.  If you are interested in their selection, please feel free to give 
them a call at (205) 556-8024.  They have recently been named the authorized 
Marshall dealer in their area, and have been the authorized Paul Reed Smith 
dealer for some time.  In addition, they carry a broad range of guitar and 
amplification equipment (Fender, Gibson, Rickenbacker, Mesa Boogie, Orange, 
Seagull (coming soon), and many more...).


Their address:

The Guitar Gallery, Inc.
1701 15th Street East

I look forward to hearing from others out there, and thanks in advance.

Jethro Tull may have said that but I believe the the name came from a member of the Stones or another english group (other than Tull) who said "...The band would go over like a lead zeppelin." 

I will verify this w/ a couple of articles I have on Zeppelin.

        Do you mean (with the help of a quick cut&paste):

Nightime - Live Guillford Civic Hall    CD              Red Line Records
Oct. 18th 1982                          Bootleg

        Third Uncle / Silent Hoedges(+) / Fear of Fear / Spy in the Cab
        Honeymoon /Nick / Rosgarden Funeral of Sores / Autaud(+)
        Passion of Lovers / Three Shadows / Nighttime / Hollow Hills
        In the Night / Ziggy Stardust

(+) Misspelled/Incorrect name given in liner notes

        Or is there another live recording out there?  The sound quality on
this is not too bad.  Some odd inter-song comments by Peter Murphy.
This version of "Hollow Hills" is worth the price of the CD alone.
Much better than the original version.  "Rosegarden" starts off much too
fast, then Kevin Haskins finally gets it back to the regular pace.
        Is "Nighttime" really a Bauhaus written song?  Yes, I know it's on
"Swing the Heartache: The BBC Sessions", but it just sounds out of place.
Funny that the bootleggers decided to name this disk after it.  But then it's
from Italy and they can't even spell the songs correctly so what do you
expect.

        On a seperate but related note, what is this "All Night Long" disk by
Peter Murphy?  I know a couple of people who have ordered it from Canada but I
don't know anything about it.  Bootleg concert?  Compilation?
