Chris playing the guitar
 

I was going through my stuff & I didn't know that I still had this. It's a video clip from one of the Tusk rehearsals. The song is "The Ledge" & Chris is playing the guitar!

I think it is vastly unfair that one person has so much talent and I hate her! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Now all we need is a video of Chris playing bass in the old days!

So are we safe in assuming that the only song Chris played guitar on during the actual 1979-80 tour was "Save Me a Place"? I suppose it's possible that:

A) Chris played guitar on "That's Enough for Me" in Europe, or
B) The band played "The Ledge" at some shows on the Tusk Tour (in which case Chris presumably would have played guitar).

Chris is definitely not playing guitar on some other 1979 rehearsal things, like "Honey Hi" & "Brown Eyes." You can hear the CP30 being played all the way through those things. Also, she's playing the B3 on "I Know I'm Not Wrong." However, I think she did play guitar on "That's All for Everyone" at the rehearsals.

She looks the part doesn't she?

Thanks for posting this.

Yeah, I know. In those jeans, I think she looks like a country music star.:laugh:

I've posted this here before, but...

And, here's another picture of Chris playing the guitar. Personally, I prefer the more casual Christine in jeans during those rehearsals. And, she plays guitar right handed.:confused: I thought she was a southpaw.

Apparently she does some things right-handed, like write ...?

But anyone who shakes maracas left-handed is primarily a lefty. I guess Christine is ambidaxtiferouciferous.

I've seen a video of her signing an autograph left handed

Gail

Yes, that Japan documentary. She signed that autograph for that Japanese kid left handed. The only thing I've seen her do right handed is play the guitar.

It's possible that she learned how to play guitar right-handed even though she's a lefty. Someone might have told her that playing right handed was "the proper way"

Yes you might be right.

Many moons ago in England left handed kids were made to write right handed!

Gail

That was cruel to those children! I am disappointed in England. :(

But I still love Ralph Vaughan Williams! :blob2:

It was a long time ago. But yes it was incredibly cruel.

The marvellous Marcella posted this hi-res non-watermarked photo of Chris playing the guitar over at Seven Wonders. :)

Marvellous Marcella is our link to Corbis heaven!! :blob1: :blob2:
We should get her away from that icky board & over here!

She is, I love her! I think she should come over here too, but she has given me a cool reason to keep going back to the Seven Wonders board. They are actually quite a kind, sharing bunch over there.

Marcella also posted this Chris and Lindsey Tusk-era pic too:

that's "tusk" at the Hollywood bowl..doesn't that one rock!!
the magic of a zoom lens!
Imagine having a 2-disc CD of the bowl shows with liner notes by ken tucker or steve pond & that big color photo on the cover, along with nice verdana lettering that says:
The Mighty Mac
at the Bowl
Los Angeles CA
8.31.80 & 9.01.80
& the bowl logo with palm trees underneath!!!

I haven't had a chance to check out the Seven Wonders board today. Marcella has posted some fantastic pictures there WITHOUT those annoying watermarks & in high resolution. I have all of the pictures that she's posted, but hers are so much better. I have no idea how she's been able to get rid of those Corbis watermarks & get them in high resolution.

Now wouldn't that be great if they'd officially release something like that next year? I assume that they recorded both of those shows. I have audience recordings of both shows, but I'd love some sort of a high quality official release. Those were great shows!

haha, my mother is left handed and was made to use her right in school. the left hand was "the devil's hand" apparently. there is even a word in irish for people of this sort, ciotog. unfortunately now my mother cannot write with either hand in any legible sense, so a lot of good that did.


these pictures are great! i love the second one. . .i will always maintain that chris is the only person who could make the accordian look sexy.

That was done in the USA also!! My grandmother was lefty and they made her switch; her writing was therefore eternally atrocious. I inherited her left handed-ness and luckily was allowed to remain so!!

That said, I can do just about everything extremely well w/ my right hand except write (although I can write on a chalkboard w/ my right hand quite nicely, just not on paper.) We lefties learn to cope in a right handed world. :wavey:

BTW, FWIW, I also play guitar right handed-- 'the normal way'. :lol: Do people actually learn to play it another way if they are left handed?! What was the deal w/ Jimi Hendrex and Paul McCartney, were they lefties?
