what a tight ass group

Hi Sillykidsong - That's exactly what I said to Gabor when I milled the frets & worked on that very guitar in Hollywood in 1980.

I'll try to quote his answer for you, - "this Martin is acoustically louder than the archtops with pickups and, with flatwounds it has a jazz sound but a bit unique because no-one thinks to do this. I'd rather sound different." .... then something about not caring about playing an archtop like everyone is influenced to do.

We talked quite a lot.

@seneferu5 happy new year from tokyo, i guess i got upset when vampyros made derogatory comments about a group i was in that he never heard and his calling rudy van gelder a mere dial twister, both very uncool, i asked for his background why he felt qualified to make such powerful judgements but he never responded. check out his comments on other musicians please, peace my brother

This is in response to vampyros1 comment to cliffworks 4321. A bad engineering session can really mess up an otherwise stellar performance by a creative genius. That is while so much time is spent behind the boards to get the eq and levels just right. Also in regards to cliff4321, instead of insulting him, perhpas you can give him his due respect and learn something from him. Peace to you both and continue to enjoy the music.

Beautiful music. Does anyone know what model Guild guitar did Bobby Womack play on Gabor's album featuring Breezin?

[CrandMackerel]

Is that Jerry Jemmott on bass?

If it ain't him, it's somebody who listened to him.

I had sheer pleasure of seeing Szabo when I around 20 in the early 70s in NYC - will never forget -

[BadSneakers]

@desertswo Ha! I understand. As child of the 70s, I've been known to have forgotten concerts, weddings, etc, wholesale, much less conversations!
