Was Duane Allman largely responsible for George Harrison's slide fetish?

Duane didn't play with Delaney and Bonnie then did he? Did he ever? At
that time, he was quite busy with the ABB.

Delaney Bramlett himself, not Duane Allman, was the person most
responsible for introducing Harrison to slide playing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Harrison
"Harrison formed a close friendship with Eric Clapton in the late 1960s,
and they co-wrote the song "Badge," which was released on Cream's
Goodbye album in 1969. Harrison also played rhythm guitar on the song.
For contractual reasons, Harrison was required to use the pseudonym
"L'Angelo Misterioso", meaning "The Mysterious Angel" in Italian.
Harrison wrote one of his compositions for The Beatles' Abbey Road
album, "Here Comes the Sun", in Clapton's back garden. Clapton also
guested on the Harrison-penned Beatles track "While My Guitar Gently
Weeps". Through Clapton, Harrison met Delaney Bramlett, who introduced
Harrison to slide guitar. They remained close friends after Pattie Boyd
split from Harrison and married Clapton, referring to each other as
"husbands-in-law"."
Woody Herman ringtones?
Ah. Mystery solved.
Some independent verification here:
"Delaney told me when George first joined his band, George asked for
two favors of Delaney. One, would Delaney teach him how to play slide
guitar like he played it? Two, would Delaney teach him how to write a
gospel song? From what Delaney showed George and them jamming together
turned in to 'My Sweet Lord'. George was very grateful and the two of
them stayed in touch up until George’s passing."

I read in an interview that Ginger Baker called Harrison a "no
talent." The two of them
disliked each other. Did Harrison and Baker ever play on other
recordings together?
Perhaps what I read isn't true?
Me
lol. Is there *anyone* who Ginger Baker doesn't dislike? He's been a
crotchety old woman since he was about 30 years old.

He's on George's "All Things Must Pass" album.

It's just like Jerry Garcia's affection for the pedal steel... Who

Interesting, cause he isn't credited, or is he?

I haven't looked at the credits on that album in many years, but I
don't recall Ginger being mentioned in them.

Baker gets "writing" credit for "I Remember Jeep", on of the jams on
the bonus disk that came with All Things Must Pass. I presume he plays
on it, too, since it's not really a song, and it sounds like him.
Also, he and George played together on Cream's "Badge".

Thanks for the info, Nil. I have a question for you. I'm kind of sick
of hearing the digital sound..off my recording studio. My question is,
if I bought a 4 track
analog cassette studio...and transfered my recordings onto that, would
I hear that warmer sound of analog, or would it be a complete waste of
money?
Thanks.
BLACKPOOLJIMMY
Love my Tascam 4 track....love tape. I'm an old fart set in his ways.
You can always warm up the sound from digital to analog with the
wonderful knobs that come with the unit.. Go for it.
This is of course is my layman's view.

I think it would a waste of time. Cassette is one of the worst formats
for sound quality. The frequency response is very narrow, it's noisy as
hell, the tape doesn't run at a consistent speed, so you will always
have wow and flutter, the heads have to be constantly tweaked to avoid
azimuth misalignment distortion (makes the tape sound muffled and the
balance is skewed) and on and on.
"Digital" doesn't really have any sound of its own. If you don't like
the sound of your recordings, I'd look at your setup and method.
There's no reason your digital recordings can't sound way better than
any cassette recording you can make.
If you record your existing recordings to cassette, you're just going
to get the same thing with extra hiss and loss of treble and bass.
Maybe you'll like that sound better, especially if the original music
sounds harsh to you. But you could probably get better results by
treating the originals with some EQ and maybe a little compression.

I wouldn't use the word "harsh," but it's like when you record on an
analog machine...and just do 4 piece with the instruments...unlike
with the
digital format, with analog...the instruments blend better
together..and have a warmer sound. But with digital..these 4
instruments don't sound full
enough...and you have no idea how many tracks it will take to fatten
up the sound...to fill up the space. It takes hours of your life to do
all
that over-dubbing.
But you could probably get better results by

Thanks for your advice, Nil. I really appreciate it.
Oh, yeah, did you ever find Revolution, take 20? I have it somewhere
if you want an MP3.

I do have "Mr. Lennon" as an MP3. I *REALLY* dig the song and
arrangement. The file I have is a very low-resolution MP3, so I can't
tell how much of its mushy sound is due to the compression and how much
is just how it is. Probably some of both. In this case, the murky sound
is kind of appropriate to the music, but if you did this on a 4-track
cassette, it's probably about the best you can do. I used a Tascam 234
4-track cassette machine for years, and it was educational to work with
that restriction, but very frustrating, too. It was quite a relief to
finally set myself up with a computer recording system.
Some of the advantages to me are...
- Graphical! you can see just what you've recorded - no guessing.
- lots of tracks. That can get out of control, but it's nice to have
room to expand.
- clear, precise sound. No hiss, no band-aids like Dolby or dbx noise
reduction.
- easy integration of MIDI sequencing and audio recording. That lets me
program drum and keyboard tracks along with my guitars and voice.
- lots of software effects and instruments available.
Of course, there are disadvantages, too. It may take some money for a
suitable computer, audio interface, software, etc. Then you have to get
it all set up and learn how to work it all. It can get a little geeky.
You have to change your approach to recording a little. But it's been
totally worth it for me. I did some decent things on the cassette, but
it was too much tedious work. For me, the computer solution was best.
If you want to dip your toe in, a nice multi-track recording package
for Windows that's free to try and not expensive to buy is Reaper
(http://www.cockos.com/reaper/). I've using Cakewalk/Sonar since it was
a DOS-only MIDI sequencer, so I'm used to it. It's really deep, and I
still don't know about all its features. There is little that it can't
do. Some people get on better with Cubase or other programs. They all
do about the same thing, but one or another might fit in better with
the way you think and work. The only way to know is to try them.
I haven't been recording much of anything for the past few months, but
I've got a few ideas that I want to get down soon. RichL has been
prolific with Sonar lately, so I bet he would have some good advice for
you, too.
Do you have a higher-resolution version of Paging Mr. Lennon that I
could have?
RichL
+1 with Sonar. As Nil said, there are all sorts of levels of complexity
that you can get into but the good thing for me is that it's easy to get
started and you don't *need* to know all that deep doo-doo. Then once
you're rolling, you add a little bit more to your knowledge each time
you record (or at least I do, others may *get* more of it at the
beginning).

Yet another example of a forged post by Frank J. Camper (alias

What is true is that you are an anti Semite. Yes Jesus would be real
proud of you (sarcasm).
You are the kind of person who would have been attacking Mary, and
all the disciples and Jesus himself. Why? Because they were Jews and
because you hate them so much.
Try some love and compassion even towards people who are Jewish or
others at this group who you CHOOSE to try to attack.
Yes you have the power to choose a different path. You can do it!
Common Bambi give it a try.
