GOT IT
later perhaps I'll post my thoughts on the new Bad Plus joint (Bad Plus One?)....but until then enjoy this old fave from same, testimony to the fact that, for all their clever cover arrangements, the core strength of this band lies in their original compositions....
oh and do grab the new mp3 download, "winter blues" (under: standards).... ain't nuthin but some blues playing....difference from previous files is that this one features a single-take archtop solo that I'm fairly ok with...later on I add a little of the newly rebuilt lipstick tube strat, which has turned form an also-ran into a favorite...should be sweet when I take it down to the blues dive...

WORKS FOR ME, CH. 2
...my studio companion today...
all tweaked and ready to go...booked studio time today...should be fun...
turns out that the original black knobs work better, lower profile...(but now I'm thinking about switching the neck with another strat...it's a sickness)...
