i have been trying to get one of those damn "no picks" picks since the early UTS shows.

years ago, a guitar picking friend gave me a button (pin) that had that very same logo on it. i wore it all the time.. it was a great conversation piece thing that tons of people asked about. just a little reason to nerd out on guitar talk with strangers, really. it was stolen along with my bag, and i've never been able to find a replacement. ... and then in 2006, my favorite artist - the reason i don't like picks - started using a pick with that logo on it. freakin' destiny. i have got to get one.

Given how quickly she jumped to your side on the other thread, I can only conclude that if you catch VD too, it'd be hers as well.

I'm just giving back what I see here. I see a FEW nice people and a lot of people just looking to fight over nothing.

I didn't jump on anyone's side.

I listened to your music then said it sucked because it does. Sorry there's nothing more to it than "Your music = The suck."

p.s. thanks Gerald.. i appreciate the sentiment!

Here are some pics from soundcheck at The Grove. Only about 8 of us there to see Lindsey and the guys run through some tracks. At soundcheck Lindsey was checking out the Grove. Saying he liked the sound better than Humphrey's in San Diego. The band didn't like the sound on stage much at all in San Diego. Lindsey also sat down right at his microphone base and just worked out (what appeared to me to be) new song structures and ideas. Never heard some of the picking he was doing.

Great pictures. I love the camera perspective and the fact that there's no audience. It makes the venue seem so vast -- though we know it actually wasn't. Thank you. Michele

hey gruno just a quick question, how were you able to go for the soundcheck? I forgot if you already said why, haha

Gruno · #85 09-27-2008, 11:04 PM

The local radio station gave away 5 pairs of invites to the soundcheck. It was a last minute thing with it being announced within a week before the show. I actually do not listen to this radio station but about 1 hour a week and didn't even know they were giving these out. The day before the show, I was listening for a few minutes... they asked for the caller to win and I was it. The funny thing was that I already had a photo pass courtesy of Warner Bros. Records. Since the two didn't conflict, it was all good! In fact, I gave away all my free tickets. I had 8th row tickets I bought before. Used those.

We met at the venue well before show start. 10 people were to have been at soundcheck but there was a couple who didn't show. When the radio rep called them, the guy said he wasn't interested

The rep asked us if we knew of anyone who wanted tickets and passes for the meet-n-greet. At that late notice I couldn't get anyone to the venue. The radio rep brought us in, had us take our seats and then Lindsey came out a few moments later and played some stuff by himself. He talked with us back and forth and then they ran through soundcheck. It was a great night.

The kids (at least Will and Lee Lee) were there earlier in the week in Los Angeles too, but Anaheim was clearly the show where they decided to focus it on them and let them have kind of a field trip with their schoolmates.

So cute.

I've always wondered: is the name Lee Lee two words or one (Leelee) and is that her actual name or a nickname/mddle name they use? Either way, it's cute, original, and I like it. And her? Too pretty for words- totally channeling Dakota Fanning in every film she made before she got tall.

Yes, I wonder that too. So often, the older sibling can't say the name, so they end up giving the baby a nick name. Like her name might be "Natalie" and Will couldn't pronounce it, so she might have ended up like that. I looked and the way her named is spelled in Lindsey's liner notes it is one word: Leelee.

In a step-family I once had, there was a little boy we called "Lee Lee" but his real name was "Milton Lee" after his dad. Since his father was "Lee" we called him "Lee Lee." But when he got old enough, he decided he wanted to be known as Milton after all.

If Miss Buckingham really is "Lee Lee" I think that's a little strange. But her parents can say to her, "You're so nice, we named you twice."

Interesting, thanks for that. There was another song that was on the Bass Hall so I'll look for it and see if it is the guitar.
