Adam Chaffins on Being Patient and the Sound of New Guitar Strings

4 days ago | twangville.com | Mayer Danzig

I share a tour vehicle with my wife, Brit Taylor — a 2006 Ford E350 XLT passenger van. A band I used to be in had the same model in that classic highway-line white. It was the best tour vehicle I’d ever ridden in (well, maybe not counting a Prevost night coach…). We drove that thing coast to coast with just minor repairs. The extra-long cabin and the big back bench made it a road dog’s dream.

How about Domino teaming up with Ray Charles and Jerry Lee Lewis for a rousing take on the Hank Williams classic “Jambalaya”. Look closely at the band and you’ll see Ron Wood and Paul Shaffer, among others. “Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou…”VIDEO About the author: Mild-mannered corporate executive by day, excitable Twangville denizen by night.

Tuesday, January 17, 2012 By Mayer Danzig Is there anyone out there who doesnâ€™t know Elvis? From the early Sun Studio years to the Vegas spectacles, he blazed a distinctive trail.

Music Business. While artists rightfully focus their attention on the first word, there’s no avoiding the second. Creating the art is hard enough—but getting it out into the world takes a rare kind of perseverance and grit.

How about we go back – way back – for this week’s video. Inaugural member of the Rock Hall of Fame Fats Domino released his version of the classic “Blueberry Hill” back in 1956 and performed it on Austin City Limits back in 1987. “Blueberry Hill” may not have been the first rock and roll song that I heard, but it certainly stands as one that left a lasting impression. Rather than the music and lyrics, it was Domino’s personality and enthusiasm that captivated my attention.

Newish Ford Transit with captain seats and I get to have the whole back row for myself and our toddler. Thank God we did not run into any major issues. But in our history, we have bought 4 vans and 2 SUV’s in the past decade. We got broken down in Arkansas, Missouri, New York and who knows where else? it’s all part of the journey. Ori always makes sure we service the vehicle and he repairs the trailer, it’s a full-time job.
