Greetings fellow Slowhanders.
I've heard from alot of people that only accepting the first five requests for
a show is unfair. I agree on that opinion. I think we should either pick 5
randomly or distribute the show by a trade tree. That way people get the show
fast. I've been administrator on two trees on Slowhand and they worked fine,
everybody who signed up got their show.
So how can you be one of the first five in someones offering? Well most mail
servers check your system clock and that is the time and date the receiver sees
in his mail. So by altering your computers clock, you could be one of the first
five, even though several minutes or even hours have passed. It depends on how
often the receiver checks his e-mail.
I know this is cheating, and I have not used it my self. I'm not ecouraging
anybody to use this method since it is wrong, but there is the possibility that
people are using this method already to be one of the first, that I thought
this should be in the open. That's why I think it cannot be fare to pick the
first five requests.

>> But after the recording and release of Derek and the Dominoes, and
they're subsequent tour of the US, I believe most of us on the West side of
the Atlantic Ocean saw Duanne Allman as a central figure to D+D, regardless
of the facts. We also believed the name of the band was based one the
collaboration of Duanne and Eric. <<
You've gotta be kidding.
Derek & The Dominos entered the music world in the US via a 45 RPM single,
"Tell The Truth," which was quickly withdrawn. I bought the single; the
album was not yet released. Duane Allman had nothing to do with the single,
and had absolutely NO association with Derek & The Dominos at that point.
In fact, there were reviews in "Rolling Stone" magazine of Derek & The
Dominos performances in the UK, where they began: Dave Mason, formerly of
Traffic, was an original member of the band, or at least that's the picture
that "RS" painted. When "Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs" was released
here, it was understood Mason was no longer part of the band. But it was
also understood that Allman was a "guest," and NOT part of the band.
Furthermore, Derek & The Dominos toured throughout the UK and then the US
and Duane Allman was NOT a band member, although it's known today that he
did play a couple of live gigs with them: as a "guest."

Cleaning house, found a couple of EC related quotes in
some old magazines - first from Jeff Beck:
"If you gave the Who just that inch of good material,
there is no one who ever held a candle to them.
Townshend, he's not a finicky fiddly-tiddley guitar
player like I was, and like Eric and Jimmy were - we
were always a bit fairy arsed about it - he was
orchestral and he was this windmill orchestra with a
couple of howitzer cannons on the side. They were too
good. They were highly intelligent. The veneer that
they put out of this loony dangerous band was one
thing, but when you got close to them....
You couldnt keep us out of the Speakeasy. It was not
just a restaurant or place to drink, it was a place
where you got rid of all your troubles and exchanged
hysterical stories, it was the most incredible place.
Everything was right, the weather was fair for that.
We were not all tarred with the same brush, but it was
a handy place to go and get a drink. We can sort out
our problems with tonights set down at the Speak.. Oh
great they do food as well.. Oh look theres so and so
over there. Hendrix started going, Clapton started
going, then it became a posers paradise. For whatever
reason, you always came out of there feeling better
than when you went in."
>From Andy Summers, Guitar World, December 1997:
"The thundering drum thing [on guitar] does sound a
bit like Cream, so I go into a bluesy passage and wind
up quoting "Sunshine of Your Love" at one point.
Clapton was a contemporary of mine back in the
Sixties, and we'd share guitar information. He was
very seriously into the blues, trying to play like
B.B. King, and particularly Buddy Guy. He was playing
a
Telecaster at the time, and I convinced him to try my
Les Paul, which he wanted to buy. So I brought it to
this session he was doing, and he immediately started
using it. That turned out to be the Fresh Cream album.
So then I wound up with the Telecaster, which I played
all through the Police and still use today.
We were all playing variations on Black American
music, and we'd jam with each other all the time at
this club called The Flamingo, in London, which
became the matrix for the whole British guitar scene
at the time. I'd share a bill with Eric, Jeff Beck
would come and go, Jimmy Page would drop in. That's
where it all started."
So we have Andy Summers to thank for turning EC on to
the Les Paul?!? Who'da thunk... da doo doo doo...
Cheers, Janet

there when I wasn't looking.

Hi !
Thanks to Eddy P, I'm now in possession of the Budokan VCD's.
You know the drill - first 4 Europeans to contact me get their own
copies. No trade or b&p - you must promise to continue to spread
the VCD's around.
Cheers
