Burnside Scramblers

My new band has a web site at www.burnsidescramblers.com. There's a sampler video that we shot last weekend up in the right-hand corner. I'm playing my new Desert Rose S-8.

If you're wearing headphones, you might want to turn them around. The stereo was reversed by accident. My fault.

Sounds great, b0b !

When you guys going on tour ?

Any band that can cover the range from Green Dolphin Street and Sunny Side of the Street to Build for Comfort and I Ain't Superstitious to Pancho and Lefty and Pistol Packin' Mama to Hawaiian War Chant/Wedding Song is OK in my book. Cool.

Oh, that's just a list of songs we like, Dave. We're still in the rehearsal stage - we don't actually play all of those songs as a group yet. But yeah, the range of material is pretty wide.

No plans to tour, Stan. Sorry.

That working list is a great set of tunes to aspire to. I have a unit in rehearsal now that goes between classic country, acid jazz, old-school soul and R&B, and blues - organ trio + me on steel and guitar. Finally I'll be doing more instrumentals - I basically had to start my own band to do it.

This sounds like a real fun project. Some people want to work a narrow area, then others want to ignore the boundaries. It's all good.

What an interesting selection of songs on your website. You should have fun with this project.

BoB,
I enjoyed the video so much it made me wish the songs were longer. Its like eating the olive but not getting the Martini! You guys sound great.

Cool Beans Boss! You sound great on that DR. Nice scenery too!

Very cool. Did you guys actually record that stuff outside or are you just pantomiming for the camera?

b0b · Post by **b0b** » 8 Nov 2009 5:50 pm

Yes, we recorded it live outside on a separate machine. That's why the video doesn't sync up sometimes.

I'm a fan

b0b, do you miss all the changes on yer D12Xover when yer playing yer new steel?

b0b · Post by **b0b** » 9 Nov 2009 8:59 am

Billy: All of the notes are there. Sometimes the phrasing that I have to use isn't exactly what I want, but I'm also discovering a lot of new phrasings. It's not the pedal changes of the D-12x that I miss - it's the easy availability of having all notes at every fret position. I'm moving the bar a lot more now.

That actually might be a good thing.

You're no slouch on the vibes, b0b! Nice licks on both horizontal instruments!
