                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Greetings Steve, After looking at other posts, I thought this is the proper venue to ask your level of interest to conduct a guitar clinic at our boutique, tropical “Grateful Hotel” to discuss gear, guitars, and tuning. We are also interested in having you play several shows either solo or accompanied by an artist per your approval. Nate LaPointe of Cubensis hosts a clinic every January. Take a glance at www.thegratefulhotel.com. We’re booking solid talent such as Mark Karan, JK, Rob Eaton, Garrett Deloian and many more from around the country.  Most are repeat offenders they had such a good time. This is our fourth year in operation and we’re going strong. You can respond privately to: jpdriessenjr@gmail.com.  We make the magical, mystical experience happen for patrons AND the musicians. The soonest we suggest booking is the high season w/ little rain - January thru April - that gives us time to fill the clinic and draw outside patrons. It’s an opportunity you’ll never regret!!]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey Steve, 
I’m a huge fan, i can’t believe how much i learned from you about music, guitar and stage production just by reading (and than trying, playing, listening.. of course) through some of discussions here, on Kimock’s Corner, and on the gear page.. Thank you for the art and knowledge you keep sharing so generously! In my corner of the world it’s not easy to find information, let alone cool gear to try and test. In spite of that i did manage to get my hands on some cool gear, couple of vintage guitars, lap steels and blackface amps.. Last year i bought BF Showman, sounds great especially on the normal channel. All i can play it through at the moment is some lame closed back marshall cab, that is loaded with 2 JBL D123 speakers. It feels really stiff and it kind of projects in a really straight line.. I could probably go for the rest of my life with that rig and manage to get things done.. Still i can’t help but think that, at least for the music i am playing, i would have much easier time playing it through open back cab. I am playing rock n roll, blues, country, kind of clean and sometimes with a bit of fuzz.. Just normal, middle of the road, musical application. I guess one could say that my style has some similarities to yours or Jerrys, even though it’s not something i am pursuing as such. Sorry for the novella, but i wonder can you offer any advice in regards to which cab and what new Jensen speakers (or other brand of similar type) could i get? There are not too many options in Europe, regarding cabs and speakers.. But i am thinking about getting a open back blacface style cab from Tube Amp Doctor, like this https://www.tubeampdoctor.com/en/2×12-speaker-cabinet-blackface-style?number=RSC212CC. Just for the fun of trying, experimenting and learning about gear i want to get two Jensen speakers and put them in the new cab. My reasoning for Jensens is they are not too efficient and open back 212 cab seems logical to get some nice twinlike sound. Thanks, best regards! Uros]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[While I was thinking of lollar pickup combos I remembered how you had modified the ebony Cripe with two el rayos and a low wind imperial in the neck and it got me thinking more about that particular guitar. Some research led me to the callaham tune-o-matic setup you mentioned (the only visual reference for that is a video with Bernie Worrell some 11 years ago). What’s its current state like? Same wiring setup or have things changed these days?]]></content:encoded>
