lol, i'd only fork out if he could sign as well as smoke (the chimp, not Gord), but then, of course, it would have to be an outdoor concert

agree, lowering might help but it aint bringing back any 70's voice or 90's voice for that matter but dropping a notch or two would help minimize some of those high and dry moments that have become predictable...speaking for myself, i just generally speaking would like to hear a capo-less concert and over the past year or so have gotten some interesting feedback from guitar playing members about capo use

knowing capo positions can help deduce what actual key folks are playing in, especially if you are a bassist or playing keys and not surrendering to auto transpose type buttons

and thus far i'm not getting much response on a recent capo related asking about the strategic use of alternate/complimentary chords voicings used by Terry for certain songs such as SFAWN...i was thinking there were others...i dont' know if i'm fixated but since it's pretty new to me, i'm quite interested...it probably stimulated my mathematical genes

yeah, your right about Hooker...same with Chet Baker and now Tyson...Ian that is, not sure if Mike sings but he has a good ear, unlike at least one of his opponents
