He Said, She Said Holiday 12/18

Good evening!

Hope this finds you warm and relaxed, holiday errands complete for the day.

I have a confession to make. I love Christmas music. I know, I know, everyone has a Christmas album and it can get redundant at best. Lucky for you, I have a ton 0f  it and have dedicated my listening time for the last two weeks sorting through it for you.

He Said She Said Slide Guitar Special Vol II (11/13/10)

Good evening! Those of you who know me well are aware of what slide guitar does to me. Tonight I’m celebrating not an instrument per se, but a musical accessory, a method of making a most delicious sound by sliding a solid object down  steel strings.  Slides are made from many things. Some people refer to it as bottle neck guitar, from the old habit of using a broken beer bottle as a slide. Modern folks are fond of pretty molded glass slides, I see those often, but many things will work. I have an old photo of a friend of mine, playing her guitar with a plastic vibrating novelty toy. Smokin’

We’ll hear dobro, lap steel, pedal steel, guit-steel and resonator guitars tonight. From sad bastard, cry  in your beer tunes to Bob Log III growling at us through his bubble helmet. I hope you enjoy!

Hello! He Said She Said will be covered tonight by DJ Mo and guest Dave X. I hate to miss one of my Saturday nights, but I’ll be getting my live music fix out at Riverside Park in Murphy for a little Pokey LaFarge and Neighborhood Co-Op picnicking!
