If you're interested in some advice on parts, there are a couple of good groups on Facebook that are about vintage audio gear. 'Vintage Stereo and Hi Fi Equipment' is the name of one..... can't remember the other.
 
Here's a cool tune. This is performed by comedian Tim Hawkins, who took two songs and combined them together into one: "Amazing Grace" and "Peaceful Easy Feelin'", by the Eagles.

Tim is an absolutely hilarious comedian, and not a bad musician either.



On an off-note, he's using a a Veritas Guitar, and wearing a T-shirt from the company, and they are based right here in Vancouver; not but 10 minutes from my apartment. Small world after all, huh?

I know that there's a couple of folks on here, @riverman to name one, who likes a good guitar. So check them out. I just emailed the above video to them this morning. I look forward to their response.

Thats cool, and I get that he is a comedian first and foremost, so i am definitely tryign to knock this or anything, just toss something out there.
He used the lyrics, but all the instrumentation, his guitars and the dubbed tracks, were all just the Eagles.

Check this out you might like. This is Umphry's Mcgee. An incredible fusion/improv band that comes to town once in a while
Check out how they mick Pink Floyd with Michael Jackson:



Ive seen them twice. Best shows ever, very unique and one of a kind.

Yeah, I don't think Tim is exactly going to make it into the R&R HOF, lol. I just thought it was cool how he synced the words from an old hymn into the guitar and beat of a modern song.

This is more his level of music:









I've never heard Fusion music before. But after listening to those clips, I can tell you that it's not my thing.

But thanks all the same!

Yeah, definitely not for everybody. Did you happen to watch the vid all the way through though? Just curious because being Umphry's Mcgee is a jam band, they usually have rougher starts ,but by the end of the vids, they really come together and their use of dynamics and slow, steady progression of intensity is what I love. Honestly, I am not as big of a fan of tier fusion as I am their straight improv.

Tim here, reminds me of the sing song comedians of the 90's that used to come through Colorado when I lived there.

There was this one pair playing at Vail one time and a bunch of friends and I were there, including a few people from the Seattle area.
The sing song artists were making fun of everybody. A couple of ladies with glasses and long hair walked in and he cut the show short and yelled, "oh look, the librarian bitches just showed up!"
"
He stopped another song right in the middle and said, WTF? Why is this fat man in the crowd dancing with those two hot girls with him? WTF fuck is your guys problem? " as he scans the crowd... Then he views our table. He stops and says, " Whoa... these guys look pretty cool.... Got any pot?"

We proceeded to smoke two joints with them right outside of the club on the sidewalk in Vail after their show.
Was a night of laughs ill never forget.

A good singsong artist is worth the show for sure.

Dude, if you like singing comedians, then check out Stephen Lynch. Tim Hawkins is just a comedian who happens to sing; the majority of his stuff is clean, stand-up comedy. But Stephen Lynch does exclusively singing....and he's utterly hilarious.











Plenty more I could post, but those are classics.

I used to work with this super douchey kid who basically forced me to listen to Steven Lynch on days when we would carpool to lunch. A little corny for my taste. This kid would literally look over to make sure I was laughing after every punchline, to which I would respond with awkward fake laughter. I Don't know, I just couldn't get into it. Maybe it was that kids fault.

You know, I get what your saying. For me personally, once I heard his music, it became old pretty quick. Once in a while, I'll turn on a song or two for a chuckle, but not often.

My buddy Gary, on the other hand, forced me to listen to this song called "Fuck Your Sister" (because he REALLY wanted to fuck my sister....) over and over and over and over...every goddamn time we met.

I haven't seen him in probably 5 years or so. But I just know....the second he shows back up, he's gonna make me play that goddamn song again. Sigh.
