My album 'Teabag'

[tomj]

I hope this doesn't contravene any board rules ( please let me know if it does JB ) but I just wanted
to mention that I have completed an acoustic instrumental album called 'Teabag' which you can hear
at http://tomjanssen.bandcamp.com

I started recording it on my much loved L10C but most of the way through recording a heavy power soak fell on it .
I'm not particularly materialistic but I am when it comes to my guitars. In this instance I must admit I nearly cried.
However in one of those peculiar synchronistic twists an ex-demo L12C was on sale at the Avalon shop for exactly the amount I had in my bank account.
Spooky. I bought it and finished the album with the L12C. What a guitar. I love it.

Cheers

Hi Tom

Congratulations on the album! You get a lovely tone from your L10c - it is obviously made for fingerstyle! Love the playing!
What tunings do you use?

I also love the story - well the ending, anyway :

However in one of those peculiar synchronistic twists an ex-demo L12C was on sale at the Avalon shop for exactly the amount I had in my bank account.

I wonder how many long-suffering partners have heard the same sort of thing from GAS-afflicted Avalon fans?!

Keep 'em coming!

Lomg may you strum!

Thanks for your kind words John, much obliged.
The tunings on the album are DADGAD(5 tracks), DGDGBD(2 tracks), DADEAD (3 tracks) & CADEAC (3 tracks).
Luckily my OH was very understanding so there was no probs with the acquisition of the L12C which ended up on 4 of the tunes.
Now that the L10C has been patched up a bit it sounds lovely again but I can't gig with it anymore, sadly.
So the L12C is the main beast now.

Cheers
Tom

I know what you mean. Not in the same league as your said event, but when I opened up the case on my Collings a couple of months back to discover my Kyser capo had escaped the storage compartment, I just knew what had happened when I took out the guitar and turned it over: sure enough a 3-4mm wide dent in the back of the neck at the seventh fret.

Nice album by the way.

[tomj]

Ow. That's a big dent. That must have hurt.

Here's the scar in my L10C:



Thanks for the nice comment, boombox.
