.I used to pick at a late bud (biiiiiig show level) for all of em tuning a half step down... He gave me the usual yaddayadda about string tension, fatter tone, and helping singer's range a touch.... I'd tell him 'Bullshit. I know you like to sit around the house nekkid playing 'Superstition' over and over all night....
I like your new avatar.
Yep... I didn't address that....just trying to get the idea of the 'why' instruments must transpose.... There was no store to go buy a tuner/pitchpipe or even a tuning fork.... 'Somebody' had to start pondering on how to tune em within a small range... Probably where they broke instruments in sections to be able to vary length.... I imagine first generation horns and such were one tube...
.Howdy all.... Hope all have good weather, good health and good coffee....
Welp, already started my cipro antibiotic for tomorrow's event.... Get the prostate staplegun biopsy tomorrow after lunch.... A little nervous but the 3D MRI a couple weeks ago looked good so not really scared... Hopefully all will be ok and be good...until next time doc wants to do another....
Yes - it's sad to see and hear any of your guitar idols / heroes messing up just because they fell into the whiskey bottle or succumbed to some other "medication" that isn't compatible with playing music....
