I live in my hometown of Wabash. Its east of Lafayette on Hiway 24. I stopped playing for 20 years as I worked 2nd and 3rd shift in Factories. I recently took early retirement from Chrysler at Kokomo. I sold the Acoustic 360 after Flint Broke up, then John Baker came got me to play with Ed Eastwood and Hank Westerman in Low Spark and Bandanna. I then got a Ampeg with a Backward baffle 15". It was the best I had to that time. I now have a rack setup with A ampeg SVT3 Pro and tuner, Wireless setup and SWR Goliath with 4-12s and A SWR 15 cabinet .Great sound but wish i'd stayed with Ampeg Speakers. I got smart like you and Bought a Fender Precision when I played with LS and Bandanna. Great instrument.
Greg, I'm an old friend of Tim Flanagan's from the Flint daze in Lafayette and am trying to track Tim down. I saw in your comment on John Baker's page that you ran into him and his brother in Missouri. Any tips on how I might contact Tim or his brother? Thanks!
Far out, Greg! Sorry no mention of you or Les, but I didn't go back that far with names, but I sure remember the great Flint days ..... which may have been my favorite of the bands I played in back then 'cause it was so acidic and electric. And Tim and Dale played off each other so well on guitar.
I see you are still in Lafayette. I moved to California, and am now in Washington state. Just started playing some solo acoustic stuff around the area for fun.
Yeah, of course there are other tastemakers - I vaguely mention that we all have our own filtering mechanisms and that will continue. Social networking and blogs will become more and more important - as will ways of communicating that we can't conce…
Hey John, since you are the only person I know who would know:
Are the models that drive satellite radio producing any revenue for the artist? You don't mention satellite services but to me, not having one, it seems to be a logical evolution to bet…
I predict that labels may not go away, but they will become less important--as will traditional broadcast radio. Ten years from now we will all have internet-based radio in our cars. And the taste-maker-gate-keepers may not all be labels. They might…
I think it's significant that iTunes acquired LaLa, a streaming site (which I use to preview or rather pre-listen to new releases). With the likely release of Spotify in the U.S., and the fact that Rhapsody already has a subcription streaming servic…
John- do you think there will be one master archive of all music in various formats (Wav, MP3, etc)?
I think you are right on with your predictions but I wonder about the logistics. Will it be like the current distro model where you can get these r…
Thanks, man. I'm not second-guessing whether SubPop was ever actually part of the major system - it seems like they did some sort of P&D deal around the time Mammoth and Matador did, but I don't recall for sure. Anyway they are an indie currently an…
