I actually prefer heavy gauge strings. But since I got into VG-8/99 land I have now worries about tunings. I will always appreciate the sound hole on my knee but there is nothing like being able to go from Joni tune to Joni tune with a "flick of the bic" Paz (licking my wounds after horrific Saints game but GO SEATTLE!!! Holy crap!) P.S Have a great Gig Kimberly.

Also tune by ear playing fretted notes as well as a tuner; when the tension is slack the tuner alone will mislead you. Have a great gig.

We can't seem to come up with a guitar that can hold onto the low Bb without going all flappy and out of tune. Hi Kimberly, No idea about Joni's rig. I use a Telecaster for that song and it works well with the low tuning. Good luck with the gig Laurent ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2014 17:18:21 +0000 From: "Susan E. McNamara" Subject: Album representation on LHMF I've been listening to LHMF in my car and just start from the beginning again when I get through the 4th act, and this morning I felt the need to do a song count of which albums were represented. No songs from the first three albums, and no songs from both live albums. Night Ride Home comes in on top with 7, which made me think, was this the album that was made during a time in her life when love was good to her? 6 songs from Travelogue, 6 from Taming the Tiger and 6 from Court and Spark. 4 from Blue, 3 from Hissing. Other sad albums are DED, with only Tax Free, and DJRD, with DJRD! Only one song (You Turn Me On) from the fantastic For The Roses. One from Shine, Hana (which I love). I can make a pie chart! :) Susan Tierney McNamara email: sem8@cornell.edu ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Dec 2014 19:05:02 +0100 From: Moni Kellermann Subject: LHMF package review http://rockarteditions.com/new-joni-mitchell-box-set/ "New Joni Mitchell box set, Love Has Many Faces: peerless music, disappointing package" moni k. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 05 Dec 2014 14:52:09 -0500 From: simon@icu.com Subject: Upgrade my Guitar Arsenal (Pt.2) Susan E.

You will find a number of Electric Baritone Guitars available. Jerry Jones Guitars JJ Original SingleCut Baritone JJ Original ShorthornB. Baritone "Dolphin Nose" SingleCut Baritone Also worth considering are the following two Six-String Basses. JJ Original Longhorn Bass6 "Dolphin Nose" Singlecut Bass6 The Longhorn Bass6 is based on, and is a copy of the original Danelectro Six-String Bass. Though tuned like a guitar, the Six-String Bass is pitched one full octave lower. I am no expert on these guitar related matters. I am sure Dave and some of the other guitarists on the JMDL can offer other, perhaps better, suggestions. There are two articles you might want to read. 1. Return Of The Six-String Bass 2. The Magical High-Strung Guitar Both can be DownLoaded @ On several occasions Joni HAS used a High-Strung Guitar for a 2nd or 3rd guitar track.
