I wasted a lot of time going to school in Austin.  Missed SRV by a couple years.  Did see Luther Allison at Antone's when it was up on Guadalupe.  That man played loud - my ears are still ringing.  Pinetop Perkins. Chris Duarte at Steamboat at his best, with frosty.  Gate mouth,  Bad Livers, Storyville, etc. Continental Club before South Congress was gentrified.  Horseshoe Lounge still there on S. Lamar?  I have some pics somewhere with the Bud Light girls playing pool there in the early afternoon . . . . 

 

Oh, and Mason Ruffner.  ALWAYS at his shows, often with little company.

He played on that Dylan album that re-started his career...that was a while ago, now.  I really like his playing.

another Austin guitar player was with Dylan from 2005 to 2010.  Denny Freeman... played in the Antone's house bands forever.  Very solid bluesman

Resumed band practice this past weekend after a break for April school vacation.  Our measure of progress is that after most every song we look at each other and say something like "hey, that almost didn't suck!"  I'll take it.

I gave up trying to coerce my brother out of his Silverface Princeton Reverb... Finally spent my allowance on a vintage 1965 blackface Pro Reverb. Wow... butter-smooth reverb and that glassy breakup I grew up on listening to SRV. 
 

It’s basically a Twin with half the power...2 12”s and 40 watts. Still too loud for the house, might buy an attenuator. For now, I’ve dialed in some delay and reverb and re-learning “Lenny”.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
