there's a lot of guitar, and a lot of not-guitar, on this album, and it's not always obvious which parts of the arrangements originated as guitars

it's confusing to reconcile this with polls that show conventional candidates within four points in dark-red TN-07.

just found this video (which, again, may or may not be accurate)

02.12.2025 13:46 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0The Internet says that the Hohner Pianet, which was used on "You Like Me Too Much" was invented in 1962. I'm curious if this Richie Barrett song uses one of the first Pianets, or if that's a Wurlitzer (first models date from 1954).

The excellent biography of Rev Gary Davis discusses how Jorma learned from one of his first students, and Quah includes a cover of "I Am the Light of This World", so I'm unsurprised (and happy) to see Harlem Street Singer here.
