Did he really - I just have this vision of him on the bathroom floor with an empty kleenex

Actually, I think LB is a little like Prince in that he can play and do most anything - I mean the man played a BANJO for The Dance for goodness sake!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if her has used a drum machine though. They do make life alot easier and I would not think less of him or fault him for it seeing as how drums are not his forte

I know nothing of the guitar or banjo - so I was being serious!!!! thanks for the info.

Now do not go all soft on La Nicks

How kind.

That's literally the best thing you can say, i bet!
I, of course, think she has charisma for the ages. Sometimes i watch her live performances from back in the day, and i weep with the beauty that I will never see the likes of again. But i have weeped with the beauty of Lindsey's guitar, too, don't worry.

Hmmm, maybe i weep too much...

yes, I'm a cryer. or a weeper, whatever. Especially at beauty. For instance, sometimes i weep when i'm watching gymnastics, cause it is so impossible and magnificent. Or at various other sports triumphs. Most often it is at musical performances, or acting performances.

What can i say, maybe i am overexpressive. (maybe

). Don't worry, though, I rarely weep in public.

But crying is a great way to relieve tension. I mean, you always feel better after, and it's cheaper than therapy

Kind of like sex, but more readily available to me, and more private.
Maybe i'll call on a racial stereotype here and say that Italians are too emotional, and possibly crazy?

Moreover, Lindsey's been playing banjo since his late teens or early 20s -- his folky days. He didn't learn banjo just for "The Dance."

He plays most of the instruments on all his solo albums. His most interesting piano track is the one on his first solo album for "September Song." He says he doesn't have any trouble with most plectrum-type instruments, but he's not really a pianist.

Of the various keyboard tracks Stevie has recorded for her solo albums, the one that stands out as obviously Stevie is the electric piano on "Love Changes": it's a rhythmic series of chord changes at the top of every measure that's just right for Stevie's ability.

Isn't that "wept" instead of "weeped" - I am asking not being snarky as I could not find weeped at www.merriamwebster.com - and I am a little fascinated by the differences in the various dialects of the English Lang. Plus, you never misuse words

Oh, really? I've found that to not be true. I've been playing guitar for nearly 40 years and banjos confuse the hell out of me. (add mandolins to that, too)

It was me, I did it first.

Ooops, I said weeped instead of wept. I'll just blame the cocktail on this one.

I was just curious - no snarkiness intended - though that it got Lux to talk about dressing as La Nicks was a fortuitous side effect - and on the heels of her comparative Stevie praising - well, who could ask for anything more

Not I. Well, I might have asked myself not to make that mistake, but yes, it was worth it.
