About Patty's guitars. As far as her acoustics go, I know she plays a Fox acoustic, and the jumbo Gibson that Nancy mentioned in her post. The Fox is a smaller body guitar, and it seems to have a raw, almost twangy-like sound to it. I don't mean twangy AT ALL in a bad way, it's hard to explain. It makes a really choppy-like sound when she's hitting the strings. I love the sound of this guitar, but it seems to go out of tune more often than some guitars. She also seems to break strings (at least one a night) on this guitar, although not so much now as she did 3 or 4 years ago. The Gibson Jumbo, is well... what a guitar that expensive should be. It has an awesome warm sound, and WOW does Patty ever look good playing it. She only uses this one for alternate tunings, such as Little God. I'm guessing she doesn't use this one more often b/c she prefers the feel and sound of the Fox. As far as her electric guitars... I know she has an old baby blue and white Charvel that's shaped kind of like a Gibson Firebird guitar (if any of you know what that's shaped like..). This guitar REALLY rocks, and would be well suited for a hard rock band. I know she recently got, or used a different guitar than this at a live show, because I was disappointed to not see the Charvel there... A Charvel electric is the kind of guitar I first bought. :-) On the subject of her tuning a lot on stage. I've never actually seen a tech there especially to tune her guitars for her. I do know that back in the days when she opened for the Badlees (there's that name again) she used to sometimes have someone that seemed to be waiting in the back for the specific purpose of putting a new string on her guitar after she broke one. There was also a night that I'll never forget when she only brought one guitar. She broke one string in the 2nd song of her set, and then made some comment like, "Geez.. I KNEW this was going to happen on a night when I didn't bring the other guitar". I was thinking to myself, when DOESN'T this happen! She then said that she was going to have to make due with it. Of course, a few songs later a 2nd string went. At that point, I was wondering why she didn't use one of the Badlees guitars. I'm thinking that right before the end of her set she broke a 3rd string.. but then again I could have just thought about this so many times that my vision of reality has been slightly tarnished. Kinda like those BIG fish stories and the one that got away, you know? At Sessions she did hand her guitar to Doug (her guitar player when w/band) and had him tune her guitar for her for one song while she was telling "the Duck joke" to the audience. By the way that Patty tells a joke (boy is it EVER cute), Doug had her guitar tuned before she was hardly even started on the joke.. :-) This was the only time I saw someone else tune her guitar for her. Anyway, that's my 2, or 3, or 4 cents worth. Paul.. have a great time skiing in the Pocono's! Can you believe that I live only about an hour and a half away, but have never gone skiing there! Actually, I have never even gone skiing, or even stopped in the Pocono's....only passed through a couple of times.

My brother (Patty's beau), Troy Campbell, has a song that will be played on "Dawson's Creek" next Wednesday. It's called "Somewhere" and is from his CD "Man vs. Beast". The show airs at 8 eastern/7 central, so please watch for it! Also, Patty is taping an "Austin City Limits" the week of February 19--not sure of the exact date, but you Austinites can probably find out when. I don't know when it will air.

Just wanted to point out that one guitar that Patty plays frequently has been inadvertantly omitted---her TAYLOR 714 CE. Probably one of the warmest, finest sounding new guitars out there on the market today---of course you pay accordingly! The few shows i've seen her play, she's always had that onboard (no pun intended for those lucky few on that cruise!) The great feature of that particular guitar is that it has a microphone, and a bridge pickup installed in it, whereas you can blend the 2 separate signals and get a more natural, woody, guitar sound. I really prefer the sound Patty gets out of that guitar---oh yeah, and it's real purty TOO! ~Patty~ http://pattyblee.cjb.net ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V4 #20 ********************************
