Tonight's Bout of Ear Ringing Brought to You By...

A loyal listener

writes in with a corny joke

of note;

Winston Underpetals M.T.O.

asks

Why did the cowboy buy a dacshund?

Because he wanted to get a long little doggie!

they're smart

you can't embed them.

Don't be lazy.

Dig on some straight up modal.

Geek corner:

Tonight's work was

Riffbrokers

End of All Things

Scaught did his

composite guitar thing.

And,

for those of you

scoring at home...

Amp: Vox AC 30 (the piglet)

Guitar: Gretsch Electro-garbage Sparkly Gold Thing

w/ Bigsby.

Everything Bigsby

from here on out.

Two of those green Ibanez tube screamers

as gain stages

alternating

a Boss flanger

and

Dunlop Cry Baby

between the lead

and

rhythm tracks.

Why go on like this?

'cause it was tasty business

n modal

Modal (or it's synonym, 'scalar' ) literally means 'of scales.' By this definition, all music, or any sonic system

that follows a pattern with one, central 'tonic' note, is modal . *Ashley Kahn, (Kind of Blue; The Making Of The Miles Davis Masterpiece).

Chicago Style be damned.

AND

it was

very Gilmore/Koppes/Verlaine

like.

My ears are ringing

their happy ring

and

my fingers

are full of

satisfied circulation.
